Precautions
Cautions for handling the liquid crystal panel
Do not expose the liquid crystal panel to direct
sunlight.
Do not drop the liquid crystal panel or strike
it sharply.
• Storage temperature range: –20°C to +80°C
+80°C
–20°C
–20°C to +80°C
During the summer,
temperatures can
reach as high as
100°C.
When the temperature is very cold or very
hot, the image may not appear clearly or may
move slowly.
The image may not be synchronized with
the sound or the image quality may decline
in such environments. Note that this is not a
malfunction or problem.
When the liquid crystal panel reaches high
temperatures or low temperatures, chemical
changes occur within the liquid crystal panel
which may cause it to malfunction.
• Usage temperature range: 0°C to +40°C
The red spots, blue spots and green spots on
the panel surface are a normal characteristic of
liquid crystal panels, and not a problem.
Spots
0°C or colder
Note:
The liquid crystal panel is built with very
high precision technology and has at least
99.99% effective image pixels. Be aware that
on 0.01% of the panel there may be missing or
constantly lit pixels.

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.
Digital audio formats
The unit can play back the following digital
audio formats.
• Video CD (VCD)/audio CD
• MP3/WMA/JPEG: Recorded either in CD-

different from what is explained in this manual.
DTS *3 (Digital Theater Systems):
Discs cannot be played back
Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-

wider dynamic range and better separation.
DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM (data), DVD-RAM,
DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in the DVD-VR
format, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo
CD, etc.

How to handle discs
Center holder
• Do not apply pesticides, benzine, thinner or
other volatile substances to the monitor.
The cabinet surface primarily consists of
plastic materials.
When removing a disc from
its case, press down the center
holder of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the disc by the
• Do not wipe with benzine, thinner or similar
substances because this will results in
discoloration or removal of the paint.
• When a cloth with a cleansing chemical is
used, follow the caution points.
edges. Do not touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
– Do not leave the unit in contact with rubber
or vinyl products for long periods of time.
– Do not use cleansers which have polishing
granules because this could damage the
cabinet.
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does become dirty, wipe
it with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
• Do not use any solvent (for
example, conventional record cleaner, spray,
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
Clean off dirt by wiping lightly with
a soft cloth
When the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a
well-wrung cloth dipped in a kitchen cleanser
(neutral) thinned by water and then go over the
same surface with a dry cloth.
(Since there is the possibility of water drops
getting inside of the unit, do not directly apply
cleanser to the surface.)
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
Moisture condensation
To remove these rough spots, rub
the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
DVD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the DVD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.

same type which is first detected if a disc
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and
MP3/WMA/JPEG files.
• This unit can play back either MP3/WMA
files or JPEG files if a disc includes both kind
of files. Set the playback file type on DVD
setup menu (page 29) before playing back a
disc containing both kind of files.
• Only for CD-R/CD-RW: This unit can play
back multi-session discs; however, unclosed
sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some DVD-R/DVD-RW or CD-R/CD-
RW may not play back on this unit because
of their disc characteristics, and for the
following causes:
– The first track will be skipped if a different
type of file is detected first.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting

settings, eject the disc and insert it (or another
disc) again so that your setting takes effect.
• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose
aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes

About sounds reproduced through the terminals
• Through the analog terminals (AV-OUT/cordless headphones): 2-channel signal is emitted.
When playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed.
(AUDIO—DOWN MIX: see page 30.)
• Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):
Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this
terminal. (For more details, see table below.)
To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG Audio, connect
an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set
“DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” correctly. (See page 30.)
Output signals through the DIGITAL OUT terminal
