Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed for operation on 120V AC  
only.  
Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug.  
However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug.  
U.S.A  
and  
CANADA  
120V  
CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot,  
fully insert.  
ATTENTION : Pour éviter chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de  
la fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser  
jusqu’ au fond.  
The available power supply voltage differs according to country or region.  
However, this unit is equipped with an Automatic Voltage Selector.  
The power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used automatically  
meets the required voltage within the range of AC 100 - 240 V, without any  
manual voltage adjustment.  
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a  
standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal  
household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core  
and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth.  
CHINA,  
EUROPE,  
AUSTRALIA  
and  
220V  
~
240V  
other  
countries  
Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the  
equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed  
and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about  
the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

Notes on Discs  
Care and Handling of Discs  
Differences in Disc Composition  
• In handling a disc, hold it carefully with edges.  
I DVD  
All discs are divided up into smaller, more manageable  
sections so that you can find specific content more easily.  
DVDs are divided into one or more titles. Each title may  
be further divided into several chapters. Occasionally, a  
chapter may contain index points, effectively dividing the  
chapter up into several parts.  
• Do not stick paper or write anything on the printed  
surface.  
• Fingermarks and dust on the recorded surface should  
be carefully wiped off with a soft cloth. Wipe straight  
from the inside to the outside of the disc.  
I Video CD /CD  
Video CDs and CDs are divided into a number of tracks.  
In rare cases, a track may contain a number of index  
points, effectively dividing the track up into several parts.  
I MP3/WMA/JPEG  
MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) is a compressed audio file  
format.  
• Always keep the discs in their cases after use to  
protect them from dust and scratches.  
JPEG is a format for saving image files, such as those  
containing digital photographs or illustrations.  
Tracks within folders are automatically numbered T_001,  
T_002, etc.  
• Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc.  
These discs are easily broken and may cause serious  
personal injury and apparatus malfunction.  
Notes on Copyright  
• Please check the copyright laws in your country to  
record from DVD Video, CD and MP3 disc, etc.  
Recording of copyrighted material may infringe  
copyright laws.  
• DVD Video is protected by the copyguard system.  
• When you connect the unit to your VCR directly, the  
copyguard system activates and the picture may not  
be played back correctly.  
Notes:  
• Because the temperature inside this unit is very high,  
in case of no further playback of disc, unload the disc  
to prevent the high temperature from deforming the  
disc.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity or  
high temperature for a long time.  
• When loading or unloading a disc in the disc tray,  
always place it with the printed side up.

Preparing the Remote Controller  
Inserting the Batteries  
Using the Remote Controller  
Point the remote controller toward the remote control  
sensor.  
Remove the battery compartment cover by  
pressing the tab and lifting up the cover.  
Insert the two batteries (size AAA/R3).  
Be sure to match the + and – ends of the batteries with  
the diagram inside the battery compartment.  
Notes  
• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct  
sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent  
proper operation of the remote controller.  
Replace the battery compartment cover.  
• Using another remote controller of the same type in  
the same room or using the unit near equipment which  
uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.  
• Do not put any object such as a book on the remote  
controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be  
pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.  
• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored  
glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent  
proper remote controller operation.  
Notes  
• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller  
and the remote control sensor, the remote controller  
will not operate.  
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different  
kinds of batteries.  
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote  
controller is not to be used for a long time.  
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage  
from corrosion. If the remote controller does not  
operate smoothly, replace both batteries at the same  
time.  
• The life of the batteries supplied is about six months  
but this will vary depending on usage.

System Connections  
To accommodate a wide range of home entertainment systems, this player features numerous connection types for both  
audio and video. Please refer to the instructions on this and the following pages to determine the best possible type of  
connections for your system.  
Before Making Any Connections  
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all audio and video connections.  
I Optical digital terminals  
The optical digital terminals are provided with protection caps. Before you connect a cable to a terminal, remove the cap  
and keep it safely. If you disconnect the cable, put the cap back on the terminal.  
I RCA AV connection color coding  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow.  
Use red plugs to connect right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect  
left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and  
outputs.  
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).  
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

unsure whether it is 96 kHz compatible.  
Notes  
The displayable picture size is preset on each DVD  
video. Therefore, the playback picture of some DVD  
videos may not conform to the picture size you select.  
When you play a DVD video recorded in the 4:3  
picture size only, the playback picture always appears  
in the 4:3 picture size regardless of the TV shape  
setting.  
If you select [WIDE] and you own a 4:3 TV set, the  
DVD playback picture will be horizontally distorted  
during playback. Images will appear to be horizontally  
compressed. Make sure the TV shape conforms to the  
actual TV in use.  
Note  
On DVDs that contain copy protection, the 96 kHz  
signal may only be output from the analog audio jacks.  
The DTS 96/24kHz source will be enforced to be output in 48  
kHz.
