ment or the CD-R/RW disc itself, some CD-R/RW
discs cannot be played on this unit.
– This unit cannot play CD-R/RW discs that do not con-
tain any data, or contain different kinds of formatted
data other than MP3 and CD-DA data.
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

otes on DVDs
Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentional-
ly fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays
DVDs according to disc content designed by the soft-
ware manufacturer, some playback features of the unit
may not be available, or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.
Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be
playable on this unit.
Regional code of the DVD player and DVDs
This DVD player is designed and manufactured
for playback of region “1” encoded DVD soft-
1
ware. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs
indicates which type of player can play those discs. This

Code” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs
may not have a region code label even though their
playback is prohibited by area limits.
ote on DTS-encoded CDs
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, turn
down the volume before playing back such discs. Adjust
the volume gradually to personal preference. To enjoy
DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 chan-
nel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be
connected to the digital output of the player.

Before Use (Continued)
Precautions
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Handling the DVD Player
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature build-
up inside the car.
When shipping the DVD Player
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
DVD Player as it was originally packed at the factory.
Cleaning discs
When setting up the DVD Player
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter out.
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, and turn off
the unit after removing the disc.
To keep the exterior surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to
contact the unit for a long period of time. They will leave
marks on the surface.
Yes
No
To move the DVD Player
When you move the player, take out any discs. If you
don’t, the discs may be damaged or drop into the inter-
nal workings of the DVD player.

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

About MP3
The DVD Player can play MP3 formatted recordings on
CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.
ꢀ An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
ꢀ The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3
Recordings on right.

recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please
use finished CD-R discs only.
