Precautions
1. Regional Restriction Codes (Region Number)
8. Notes on Handling
Regional restriction codes are built into DVD Changers and
DVD-Video media for each sales region. If the regional code of
the DVD Changer does not match one of the regional codes on
the DVD-Video, playback is not possible.
The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD
Changer.
• When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton and
packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit
as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with
the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after
a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and
turn off the power.
• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not
function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit
occasionally.

2. About This Manual
This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the
DVD Changer. Some DVD-Video discs do not support the full
potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD Changer may
therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to
instruction notes on discs.
9. To Obtain a Clear Picture
A “ ” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It
means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Changer
or the disc.
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical
pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the
picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the
operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
3. Recording Copyright
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use
is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.
4. Power
WARNING
10. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
• What is moisture condensation?
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a
cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form
on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may
condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of
the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the
area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage
(e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
5. Do not touch the unit with wet hands
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following
cases.
– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
– When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on
the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned
room.
Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet
or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the
unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
6. Location of the unit
• Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides
of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If
ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and
malfunction.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as
the unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life
of the pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the
unit on or above one of the speakers.
• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may
malfunction.
– When you use the unit in a humid place.
• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs
and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for
two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit
connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will
seldom occur.
• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be
distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV,
radio, or VCR.
7. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels
and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring
it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry
immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.

Changer.
Discs with shapes such
as these cannot be
played.
• Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs
that have peeling labels, or discs that have custom labels or
stickers. Otherwise, you may not be able to eject the discs or the
DVD Changer may become inoperative.

• Files should be MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz
(recomended) or 48 kHz, 32 kbps - 320 kbps (128 kbps
recomended). Incompatible files will not play.
• This system only plays tracks that are named with the file
extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3 files. The
disc must be finalized in order to play.

Making Connections
Optional Audio Connections
This DVD Changer provides numerous ways to take full advantage of the digital multi-channel sound recorded on DVD and some CD media.
Be sure to set Digital Audio Out after connection using the setup menu explained in “Customizing the Settings” starting
on page 30.
Digital connections
When you are making connections to an amplifier or receiver that
has internal Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capabilities, set Digital
Audio Out to “Dolby Digital” or “DTS” using the setup menu
explained in “Customizing the Settings” starting on page 30. See
page 35 for direct information.
When you are making connections to an amprifer or receiver that
has digital input capabilities, but no internal decoder, set Digital
Audio Out to “PCM” using the on-screen menu explained in
“Customizing the Settings” starting on page 30. See page 35 for
direct information. Setting Digital Audio Out to any other setting
could result in digital noise being output that could cause harm your
hearing and may also damage your speakers.
Make digital connections from the DVD Changer to an AV
component that features digital input capability or one or more
multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full cinematic
experience made possible by the DVD format. This DVD Changer
features optical and coaxial digital audio output jacks and can
output Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams as well as outputting
standard PCM.
Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL jack to
the digital optical input jack on the AV component using an optical
fiber cable (sold separately). Make connections from the DIGITAL
OUTPUT COAXIAL jack to the digital coaxial input jack on the
AV component using a coaxial cable (sold separately). It is not
necessary to make more than one type of digital connection to a
single component.
Notes
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the AV component for details on
what digital audio formats it is compatible with.
• Even if digital audio connections are made, it is also recommended to
make analog connections, because some conditions or media may prohibit
digital audio output.

Dynamic Range setting allows you to “compress” the dynamic
range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can lower the volume
without losing extremely soft signals. This is especially useful
when you are watching a movie late at night.
This sets the screen size (4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio) according to the

setting may result in the movie
appearing with black bars at the
top and bottom of the screen.
4 x 3 Pan Scan:
Choose this setting if you want
the movie to fill the entire screen
of your TV. You won’t see part
of the picture (particularly the
right and left edge).
Some disc produced in a wide
screen format can’t be cropped in
this fashion, which means the
black bars would appear at the
top and bottom of the screen.
16 x 9 Widescreen:
Choose this setting if your DVD
Changer is connected to a
widescreen TV.
Notes
• The displayable picture size is preset on each DVD-Video. Therefore, the
playback picture of some DVD-Video 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 “16:9 Widescreen” 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.
