Introduction  
Introduction  
Your DVD player is equipped with some special features. The following information summarizes some of these  
features.  
The On-Screen Information Display  
The Info Display is a menu bar that you can bring up to access certain features while discs are playing. Icons represent  
the different features supported by your DVD player. You can access features including Repeat, Audio, Subtitles and  
Camera Angle.  
Time Search  
The Time Search feature lets you go to a point on a disc by entering the elapsed time in the on-screen time display. For  
example, if your favorite scene in a movie is one hour and twelve minutes after the beginning of the movie, you can enter  
01:12:00 into the time display and go right to that point in the movie.  
Ratings Limits  
Your DVD player allows you to set ratings limits and passwords. For example, you can set the DVD player so that any  
movie with a PG-13 rating or above requires a password to be entered.  
Since not all discs contain ratings, you can also decide if you want to allow free access or require a password to view  
unrated discs.

Chapter 1  
Things to Consider Before You Connect  
Protect Against Power Surges  
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.  
Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet  
packed with your DVD player.  
Protect Components from Overheating  
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can  
circulate freely.  
Don’t stack components.  
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it  
won’t flow around other components.  
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead  
of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.  
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead  
cables away from audio/video cables.

Chapter 1  
Types of Discs Your DVD Player will Play  
DVD video discs – DVD video discs contain high quality picture and sound content.  
Audio discs – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only.  
Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The  
difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc.  
CD-R – A disc that you can write information to once (for example, download MP3 files).  
CD-RW – A re-writable disc. You can write information onto this type of disc more than once. For  
example, if you have previously downloaded MP3 files to a CD-RW disc, you can write information  
to the disc again, but it will erase the previously written information.

Install the Battery in the Remote  
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.  
2. Insert new battery. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the battery with the  
diagram on the remote.  
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.  
Important Battery Information  
If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove  
the battery because they can leak and cause damage.  
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local  
regulations.  
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if  
inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if  
disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to  
be recharged.  
Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or  
other personal injury.  
Point the Remote in the Right Direction  
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the  
DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and  
toward the correct component in order for the remote’s signal to communicate with  
the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote  
and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.

Regional Coding  
Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for  
the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This player’s code is region 1.  
Using Different Menus  
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you can use  
to access features:  
The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu.  
The contents of each Disc menu varies according to how the disc was authored and what features  
are included. The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button  
on the remote.  
The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen  
when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off  
with the INFO button on the remote.  
The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t  
playing. It appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.  
Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if  
you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with  
subtitles. If a menu item is “grayed out” it means that item isn’t available.  
Loading and Playing Discs  
Your DVD player plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs and CD-R discs (MP3 files). Before  
you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used  
with this player:  
Laserdiscs  
CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), DVD-ROM  
Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)

• The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Play  
option and press (OK) on the DVD remote.

When you stop playing a disc, the DVD player remembers where you stopped.  
When you start playing the disc again, the player picks up where you left off  
unless the disc is removed, the player is unplugged, or you pressed the STOP  
button twice.  
This is an example of a 2-  
sided disc. The title is in  
the center.

Using a Disc Menu  
A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system  
and on-screen Info Display. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters, or it  
may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings.  
Although the content and operation of disc menus vary from disc to disc, the following example will  
give you an idea of what to expect.  
1. While the disc is playing, press the MENU button on the remote. The disc  
menu appears.  
An example of a disc menu. The menus on

What is a Video CD?  
Like DVD discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a  
different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as  
high.  
VCDs can have more than one title. Each title is divided into tracks (similar to chapters on a DVD disc).  
The Video CD Disc Menu  
A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu  
system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear after the disc is  
loaded into the player.  
The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the instructions that accompany  
the Video CD for more information on how to use the playback control functions for that specific disc.  
If a disc menu appears:  
1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a title).  
2. Press  
3. Press  
4. Press  
(play/OK) on the remote to begin playback of the selected track.  
or on the remote to scroll through the tracks.  
(STOP) on the remote to stop playback and return to the disc menu.

Care and Maintenance  
Handling Cautions  
Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.  
Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.  
Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.  
Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If  
this occurs, turn the player off and on again with the ON•OFF button, or disconnect and then  
reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.  
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.  
Maintenance of Case  
For safety reasons, when cleaning the case be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC  
outlet.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.  
Wipe the case with a soft cloth.  
Formation of Condensation  
Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes  
in contact with any cold parts inside the player.  
When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs,  
leave the player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.  
If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from  
the center hole toward the outer edge.  
Handling Discs  
Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the  
center.  
Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.  
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Chapter 6  
Cleaning Discs  
Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping  
them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.  
If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away  
gently, and remove any water drops with a dry cloth.  
Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with  
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

RCA DIGITAL VIDEO DISC (DVD) LIMITED WARRANTY  
What your warranty covers:  
Any defect in materials or workmanship.  
For how long after your purchase:  
90 days - Unit exchange, which includes parts and labor.  
91 days to 1 year - Unit exchange, which includes parts only; you pay the labor.  
The warranty for rental units begins with the first rental or 45 days from date of shipment to the rental firm, whichever  
comes first.  
What we will do:  
During the initial 90 days:  
Exchange the DVD unit with a new or, at our option, refurbished unit.  
After the 90 days and within one year:  
Exchange the DVD unit with a new or, at our option, refurbished unit. We will bill you a flat exchange charge to replace a  
defective unit. This charge covers the labor cost for its repair.  
How you get service:  
Call 1-800-311-9263 and have your unit’s date of purchase and model/serial number ready. The model/serial number  
information is on the back of your unit.  
A representative will troubleshoot your problem over the phone.  
If the representative determines that you should receive a replacement unit you will be provided with a Service Request  
(SR) number and the location of a nearby exchange point if one exists. No returns will be accepted without the SR  
number.  
To receive a replacement unit before you return yours:  
Option I:  
1. Provide your Discover, MasterCard or Visa account number and expiration date to your phone representative. This is for  
security purposes only and your account will not be charged at this time.  
2. We will send you a replacement unit.  
3. If you return the unit to us within 14 days from the date you were provided a SR number, only items not covered by  
warranty will be charged to your account. If your unit is not received within 14 days, the suggested retail value of the  
unit will be charged to your credit card. This amount will be credited, less a $10 handling fee, if the unit is subsequently  
received.
