Copy Protection  
Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your  
DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted  
picture from copy-protected DVD discs.  
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by methods claims of certain U.S.  
patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.  
Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended  
for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.  
Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.  
DVD R/RW, CD-R/RW DivX Discs  
Since this product only provides encoding formats authorized by DivX Networks, Inc., a DivX file created by the user  
might not play.  
Software updates for incompatible formats are not supported.  
(Example : QPEL, GMC, resolution higher than 800 x 600 pixels, etc.)  
Sections with a high frame rate might not be played while playing a DivX file.

• When the wireless receiving module setting is complete, no sound is output from the Rear Speaker Output  
Connectors on the back of the main unit.  
• The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless receiver module. Keep the unit away from water and  
moisture.  
• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless receiver module location is clear of  
any obstructions.  
Plug the power cord of the wireless receiving module in the wall outlet  
and switch the power switch ‘ON’.  
• Sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers in DVD 5.1-CH or Dolby Pro Logic II mode only.  
• In 2-CH mode, no sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers.  
• Do not insert a card other than the TX card dedicated for the product.  
The product might be damaged or the card may not be removed easily.  
• Do not insert the TX card upside down or in the reverse direction.  
• Insert the TX card when the DVD Player is turned off.  
Inserting the card when it is turned on may cause a problem.  
• If the TX Card is inserted, sound is not output from the Rear Speaker  
connectors on the main unit.  
• Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless receiver module is too close  
to the main unit, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.  
• If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment, or any other device that  
uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) near the system, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.  
• The transmission distance of a radio wave is about 10m, but may vary depending on your operating environment.  
If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless receiver module, the system may  
not operate at all, because the radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
