Important Note for Users in the UK

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To
change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A.

or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or
coloured red.

•Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the
plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and
yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply
over the two wires.

General information

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.

ATTENTION

L’emploi de commandes, de réglages ou un choix de
procédures différents des spécifications de cette
brochure peut entraîner une exposition à d’éventuelles
radiations pouvant être dangereses.

ACHTUNG

Die Verwendung von Bedienungselementen oder
Einstellungen oder die Durchführung von
Bedienungsvorgängen, die nicht in dieser Anleitung
aufgeführt sind, kann zu einem Kontakt mit gefährlichen
Laserstrahlen führen.

OBSERVERA

Användning av kontroller och justeringar eller
genomförande av procedurer andra än de som
specificeras i denna bok kan resultera i att du utsätter
dig för farlig strålning.

ATTENZIONE

Uso di controlli o regolazioni o procedure non
specificamente descritte può causare l’esposizione a
radiazioni di livello pericoloso.

PRECAUCIÓN

El uso de los controles o los procedimientos de ajuste o
utilización diferentes de los especificados en este
manual pueden causar una exposición peligrosa a la
radiación.

VOORZICHTIG

Gebruik van bedieningsorganen of instellingen, of
uitvoeren van handelingen anders dan staan beschreven
in deze handleiding kunnen leiden tot blootstelling aan
gevaarlijke stralen.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet,even if this unit itself
is turned off.This state is called the standby mode.In this
state,this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of
power.

L ’appareil n ’est pas isolé de la source d ’alimentation aussi
longtemps qu ’il reste branché sur une prise murale,même
lorsqu ’il est éteint.Il est alors dit en mode «Veille ».Dans ce
mode, l ’appareil consomme très peu de courant.

Das Gerät ist nicht vom Netz getrennt, solange der
Netzstecker noch mit der Wandsteckdose verbunden ist,
selbst wenn das Gerät ausgeschaltet wurde. Dieser
Betriebszustand wird als Bereitschaftsmodus bezeichnet. In
diesem Zustand nimmt das Gerät eine sehr geringe Menge
Strom auf.

Enheten är inte urkopplad från nätet så länge som den är
ansluten till vägguttaget även om enheten i sig självt är
avstängd. Detta kallas för beredskapsläge och i detta tillstånd
konsumerar apparaten minimalt med ström.

L’unità non è scollegata dall’impianto elettrico di casa sintanto
che rimane collegata ad una presa di corrente anche se è
spenta. Questo modo viene chiamato “modo di attesa”. In
esso, l’unità consuma una quantità molto bassa di energia per
mantenere in memoria le impostazioni da voi fatte.

Aunque el propio aparato se encuentre apagado, éste no se
desconectará de la fuente de CA siempre que se mantenga
enchufado a la toma de corriente. Este estado recibe el
nombre de “modo de espera”. En este estado, este aparato ha
sido diseñado para consumir una cantidad muy pequeña de
energía.

De stroomtoevoer naar het toestel is niet afgesloten zolang
de stekker nog in het stopcontact zit, zelfs niet als het toestel
zelf uitgeschakeld is. Deze toestand wordt “standby” (waak- of
paraatstand) genoemd. Het toestel is ontworpen om in deze

General Notes on connections

Never make or change connections with the power
switched on.

●

Depending on the equipment you wish to connect, there
are various ways you could connect this unit. Possible
connections are shown in the following drawings.

●

Please refer to the manuals of other equipment as
necessary to make the best connections.

●

Do not connect this unit via your VCR. The video quality
could be distorted by the copy protection system.

●

Do not connect this unit’s audio out jack to the phono in
jack of your audio system.

Digital Connections

This unit has COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital out jacks.
Connect one or both of them to your AV receiver
equipped with Dolby digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder
using each specific cable (separate purchase).

C

Note:

English

– If the audio format of the digital output does not match
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a
strong, distorted sound or no sound at all. Make sure to
select the appropriate audio format at menu screen
included on the disc.
Pressing AUDIO once or more may change not only audio
languages but also audio formats, and the selected format
appears for several seconds on the status window.

Analog Connections

Use audio/video cable supplied with this unit to connect
AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right) jacks of this unit to
corresponding input jacks of your audio equipment such
as Stereo amplifier.

Preparation

Video Connections

If your AV receiver has video output jacks, connect your
receiver (and then to your TV) so that you can use one
TV for several different video sources (LD, VCR etc.) by
simply switching the input source selector of your
receiver.
The player has four types of video output jacks. Use one
of them in accordance with the input jacks of the
equipment to be connected.

S VIDEO terminal <A>

S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer picture
than composite video connection by separating color and
luminance when transmitting signals. Use commercially
available S-video cable. Receiver (and TV) with S-video
input is required.

VIDEO terminal <B>

Use audio/video cable supplied with this unit when
connecting the player to a TV.

COMPONENT VIDEO terminal <C>

Component video connection achieves high fidelity in
reproducing colors (better performance than S-video
connection), separating video signal into luminance (Y,
terminal color-coded as green), and color difference (Pb,
blue/Pr, red). Use commercially available coaxial cables.
Receiver (and TV) with component input is required.
Observe the color of each jack when connecting. If your
receiver does not have component output jacks,
connecting the player’s component output directly to
your TV’s component input can reproduce better video
image.

SCART Connection <D>

If your TV has only terminal for video input, and you want
to connect it directly to this unit, you can use this unit’s
TV OUT jack.

Note:
– Ensure that the “TV” indication on SCART cable is
connected to the TV set and “DVD” indication on SCART
cable is connected to this unit.

Connecting an AV receiver with a
SCART terminal

If your AV receiver has SCART terminals, you can
connect this unit’s TV OUT to your AV receiver’s SCART
terminal.

‘Parental Control’ information which applies to the
complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. These

suitable scenes are available on the disc. Ratings are
country dependent. The ‘Parental Control’ feature allows
you to prevent discs from being played by your children
or to have certain discs played with alternative scenes.
