disc contains either one film or four hours of
music. The built-in 5.1 channel surround and the
Dolby digital 5.1 channel surround let you enjoy
a realistic sound that emulates the sound of a
movie theater.
Never stick labels on the surface of the disc or
mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
When a DVD video contains more than one story
for a film, you can select the story you wish to
enjoy. The operation procedures vary with the
disc; observe the instructions for selecting a story
provided during playback.
For your safety, the driver should not watch
the TV or operate the controls while driv-

1. When the inside of the car is very cold and
the player is used soon after switching on the
heater, moisture may form on the disc or the
optical parts of the player and proper play-
back may not be possible. If moisture forms
on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If mois-
ture forms on the optical parts of the player,
do not use the player for about one hour. The
condensation will disappear naturally allow-

Notes:
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a sound system
that differs from the Dolby digital system. DTS
provides a larger amount of data than Dolby
digital enabling high-quality surround playback
and incorporates a DTS-CD software for music
like a DVD software allows 5.1 channel
independent multi-channel audio reproduction.

Speaker system
We recommend that you use the type of speaker
system described below to fully enjoy the sur-
round function of a DVD video disc system. How-
ever, audio CDs do not output any signals to the
center speaker and the sub woofer, so you will
only hear sound from the front and rear speak-
ers. Contact your dealer for further details.
Playable discs
This DVD video player can play the following
discs.
