Precautions

❏

When shipping the DVD player, always use the original shipping carton
and packing materials.
For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at
the factory.

❏

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD player. Do
not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a
long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

❏

The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become warm after a
long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

❏

When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn
off the power.

❏

If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not
function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD player occasion­ally.

When you place this DVD player near a TV, Radio, or VCR, the playback pic­ture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the
DVD player away from the TV, Radio, or VCR.

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

❏

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well
and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD
player.

❏

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that
product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of

playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service
technician.

The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick­up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality
becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection
and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest
dealer.

Precautions (Cont’d)

Introductions

Moisture condensation damages the DVD player. Please read the fol­lowing carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink
into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the
glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens
inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

❏

When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm
place.

❏

When you use the DVD player in a room where you just turned on the
heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly
hits the unit.

❏

In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and humid place
just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

❏

When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and
internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD
player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it “ON” for
two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD player con­nected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Notes on Discs

This section shows you how to handle, clean, and store discs.

On Storing Discs

❍

Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or
near heat sources.

❍

Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust
such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.

❍

Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing
objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping.

On Cleaning Discs

❍

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound
deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a
soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

❍

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the
disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish
with a dry cloth.

❍

Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzine,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray for
vinyl LPs. They may damage the disc.

Sampling Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the
desired digital audio output type as indicated on page 47.
If your A/V receiver or surround processor is NOT capa­ble of handling 96kHz signals, select the 48kHz option.
When this choice is made, this unit will automatically
convert any 96kHz signals to a 48kHz output so that your
system is capable of decoding them.
If your A/V receiver or surround processor is capable of
handling 96kHz signals, select the 96kHz option. When
this choice is made, this unit will pass each type of signal
through without any further processing.

•

When you are not using the player’s digital audio out­put, don’t select any of the options.

•

If an active digital audio output signal is supplied to a
receiver or other equipment without a corresponding
digital decoding capability, a very loud noise may be
produced which could permanently damage the speak­ers.

•

The DTS DVD disc sound is played back only when
the DVD player is connected to a receiver with a DTS
decoder.

About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)

With the DVD format you have the opportunity to hear a
program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation possible, thanks to the use of digital audio
technology. However, in certain instances you may wish
to slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio out­put (the difference between the loudest sounds and the
quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a lower
volume without losing dialogue intelligibility.

■

DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) On/Off
On: Select this option to turn on the Dynamic Range

Compression circuitry so that the dialogue
remains clear even at low volume levels.

Off: Select this option to turn off the Dynamic Range

Compression and have the soundtrack presented
exactly as it was created.

■

Vocal On/Off

Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
being played. The karaoke channels on the disc will
then be mixed into a normal stereo sound.

•

The DRC function works only during playback of
Dolby Digital recorded discs.

•

The level of Dynamic Range Compression may differ
depending on the DVD disc.

•

When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio
equipment (such as an amplifier) to the DVD video
player.
