INTRODUCTION

Precautions

Notes on handling

❏

When shipping the DVD player, always 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 DVD player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

❏

The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become warm after a long period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

❏

When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

❏

If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD player occasionally.

Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD player.

Please read the following carefully.

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 this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

Ex ampl es of moistu re con densation

Optical pick-up lens

Notes on Locating

❏

When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio, or

VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

❏

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the

DVD player.

❏

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

To Obtain a Clear Picture

The DVD player 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.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases.

❏

When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

❏

When you use the DVD player 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 DVD player in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

❏

When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

It’s too warm!

❏

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the

DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Wait!

❍

❍

❍

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

Producing a 3D SURROUND effect

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D

Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

Turn off the TV surround sound and other surround effects when using this 3D surround effect.

For best 3D Surround effect using only two speakers it is recommended that the two speakers be positioned approximately 8’ to 10’ apart, and the listening position should be 8’ to 10’ away from the speakers.

Notes

❍

The file name is only displayed in English.

❍

If there is an impossible code to display, it will be displayed underlined (_) instead of English.

❍

This unit can play up to 256 files per disc. A disc recorded with more than 256 files cannot be played.

❍

Disc format is compatible with ISO9660 only.

❍

If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

❍

A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

❍

If there are already data files which are not MP3 files on the CD-R disc, please, do not use that disc; use a new one instead. However, if the disc is a CD-RW disc, this does not apply.

Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM” if an active digital output is supplied to a Dolby Digital decoder,

(or an amplifier or other equipment with Dolby Digital decoder).

Stream/PCM:

Select “Stream/PCM” if an active digital output is supplied to an amplifier or other equipment with DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder and

MPEG decoder.

PCM:

Select “PCM” if an active digital output is supplied to an amplifier or other equipment with linear PCM only (or MD recorder or DAT deck).

Sampling Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the desired digital audio output type as indicated above.

If your A/V receiver or surround processor is NOT capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 48kHz option. When this choice is made, this unit will automatically convert any 96kHz signals to a 48kHz output so that your system is capable of decoding them.

If your A/V receiver or surround processor is capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 96kHz option. When this choice is made, this unit will pass each type of signal through without any further processing.

❍

Notes

When you are not using the player’s digital audio output, don’t select any of the options.

If an active digital audio output signal is supplied to a receiver or other equipment without a corresponding digital decoding capability, a very loud noise may be produced which could permanently damage the speakers.

The DTS DVD disc sound is played back only when the DVD player is connected to a receiver with a DTS decoder.

DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) On/Off

On: Select this option to turn on the Dynamic Range

Compression circuitry so that the dialogue remains clear even at low volume levels.

Off: Select this option to turn off the Dynamic Range

Compression and have the soundtrack presented exactly as it was created.

■

Vocal On/Off

Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is being played. The karaoke channels on the disc will then be mixed into a normal stereo sound.

About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)

With the DVD format you have the opportunity to hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to the use of digital audio technology. However, in certain instances you may wish to slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio output

(the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing dialogue intelligibility.

Notes

❍

The DRC function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs.

❍

The level of Dynamic Range Compression may differ depending on the DVD disc.

❍

When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio equipment

(such as an amplifier) to the DVD video player.
