Precautions
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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.
PRECAUTIONS
I Moisture condensation
Moisture may form on the lens in the following conditions.
• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.
• When this unit is moved from a cold place to a warm one.
If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly.
In this case, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.
I If there is noise interference on the TV while a broadcast is being received.
Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference may appear on the TV screen while
you are watching a TV broadcast and this unit is left on. This is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV.
To watch a TV broadcast, turn off this unit.
I Do not transport this unit with discs left in it.
I Do not place on the component such as amplifier or receiver that generates heat.
If so, the temperature inside this unit rises and malfunction may occur.

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

DOWN SAMPLE
ON (48 k) OFF (96 k)
If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is
compatible with high sampling rates (96 kHz), set this to
[OFF(96K)], otherwise set it to [ON(48K)] (96 kHz audio is
converted to a more compatible 48 kHz). Check the
manual that came with the other component if you are
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.
