About discs

Playable disc types

Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:

Playable discs

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the Audio CD format can be played back, though some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

• DVD VIDEO players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include “2.”

Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:

ALL 2 2 5

6

This unit accommodates discs recorded with the PAL system.

Non-playable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT

• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.

Disc structure

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided into some “chapters”. For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

(Example: DVD VIDEO disc)

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

(Example: Audio CD/Video CD)

*In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with “monitor” or “projector.”

*Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.

Before making any connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the component you are going to connect.

To connect to a TV

You can enjoy using the unit by simply connecting it to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the audio outputs to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

(supplied)

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.

• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

• If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the optional S-video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

NOTES

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

• Connect the unit to a PAL television. Do not connect the unit to an NTSC television.

Set the COMP-Y/C switch correctly according to your TV.

• If the TV only accommodates the composite video signal, set the switch to “COMP.”.

• If the TV accommodates the Y/C signals, set the switch to “Y/C” so that you can enjoy better-quality pictures.

• If the TV accommodates the RGB signals, set the switch to “COMP.”, as well as make the unit feed the RGB signals by following the procedure shown below.

How to make the unit feed the RGB signals

The unit cannot output the RGB signals from the SCART connector and the S-video (Y/C) signals from the S-VIDEO jack simultaneously.

In the initial (factory-preset) condition, the S-VIDEO jack is active, while the RGB signals cannot be output.

To make the unit feed the RGB signals, follow the procedure below. Note that the S-VIDEO jack does not feed correct signals when the unit is set to output the RGB signals.

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG Multichannel decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

When you make the digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.

Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.

Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;

—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!
