Nonuse Periods

When the Player is not being used, switch the Player to the

Standby mode.

When left unused for a long period of time, the Player should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

No Fingers or Other Objects Inside

Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray.

Stacking

Place the Player in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.

Condensation

Moisture may form on the pickup lens in the following conditions:

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

• when the Player is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.

If moisture forms inside this Player, it may not operate properly.

In this case, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

Cleaning

NOTES:

• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

• Connect the Player directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection function will scramble the picture.

• If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-VIDEO or VIDEO cable to the TV.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Player directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD recorder), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

C Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Recorder without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD

Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD recorder, play the disc as you would normally with the audio mode set to “L+R” and use the connection shown above. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS format cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.

• DVD

DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, DTS or MPEG Audio cannot be connected digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD recorder.

The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD recorder.

It may be possible to record “DOLBY DIGITAL” or MPEG Audio via a digital connection if the DVD player output is set to

“DPCM” (see page 19 “Audio Settings”). Analogue recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.

Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS or MPEG audio

Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/ DTS/ MPEG Audio digital surround processor to your player’s coaxial digital jack provides richer and more powerful audio play.

NOTES:

• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have an optical/ coaxial digital input jack.

• ANALOG AUDIO OUT and AV (TV) of the DVD player are not available on the DTS audio.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV’s 75ohm coaxial antenna terminal using a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.

If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked

“ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE:

• The picture quality from DVDs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.
