GETTING STARTED

■ Region management information

DVD

This DVD player is designed to meet DVD standard that supports region management system. Check the regional code
number marked on the disc packages. If the number does not match this unit’s region number (see the below table or the back

■ Notes about handling discs

• Hold discs by touching only the edges or center hole.

• When a disc is not currently being loaded on the disc
tray, store it in an appropriate case.

• Playback of discs is generally not affected by small
particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface.
Even so, they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a
clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion;
wipe straight outward from the center.

PREPARATION

REMOTE CONTROL

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

1 Turn the remote control over and slide the

battery compartment cover in the direction of
the arrow.

2 Insert the batteries (AA, R06, UM-3 type)

according the polarity markings on the inside
of the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery Replacement

If the remote control operates only when it is close to the unit, the batteries are weak. Replace all the batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Use only AA, R06 or UM-3 batteries for replacement.

• Be sure the battery polarity is correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time.

• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Using the Remote Control

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be
sure to aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor
during operation. When the sensor is covered or there is a
large object between the remote control and the sensor, the
sensor cannot receive signals. The sensor may not be able to
receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight
or a strong artificial light (such as a fluorescent or strobe
light). In this case, change the direction of the light or
reposition the unit to avoid direct lighting.

Notes

• Handle the remote control with care.

• Do not spill water, tea or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following
conditions:
– high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or

bath;
– dusty places; or
– extremely low temperature.
