DO NOT handle the AC power cord with  
wet hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense in the lenses on the System in the  
following cases:  
• After starting to heat the room  
• In a damp room  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,  
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.  
Internal heat  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System.  
Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.  
–A cooling fan is inside the System to prevent heat  
build-up.  
DO NOT block the ventilation openings or  
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or  
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,  
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before  
operating any further.  
DO NOT disassemble the System since there  
are no user serviceable parts inside.  
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended  
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.

Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc/file with the color system  
set to “PAL (PROG),” the disc/file will be reproduced  
using “PAL 60” format; however, if the TV does not  
support this format, the screen may not display properly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc/file with the color system set  
to “NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures,  
but the following symptoms may occur:  
– The items on the menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.  
– This System may not play back some files even though  
their formats are listed above.  
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the  
original aspect ratio.  
– The picture movement is not smooth.  
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the  
following cases:

– It will take some time to start up a Digital Audio Player  
(DAP) larger than 1 Gigabyte.  
– You cannot send any data to your USB mass storage  
class device from this System.  
• For MP3/WMA/WAV playback...  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 8 to 12)  
Listening to the Radio:  
– MP3/WMA/WAV discs require a longer readout time  
than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the  
group/file configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA/WAV files cannot be played back and  
will be skipped. This results from their recording  
processes and conditions.  
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,  
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations may be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.

change to “USB MEMORY” correctly. In this case, press  
7, then reactivate “USB MEMORY” as the source.  
• On some discs/files, the actual operations may be different  
from what is explained in this manual, due to the  
programming and disc structure; such differences are not a  
malfunction of this System.  
– When making MP3/WMA/WAV discs, use ISO 9660  
Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.
