the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION

PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON HANDLING:
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:
•
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 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.
•
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.
NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION
When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove
the disc and turn off the power.
• 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.
•
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player.
Please read the following carefully.
• 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.
• Moisture Condensation occurs during the following
cases:
NOTES ON LOCATING THE DVD PLAYER:
•
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.
•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.
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.
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.
POWER SOURCE
Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V,
60Hz.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the possibility of
electric shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut
the wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete
outlet.

• When connecting the DVD to the TV, make sure the power is off and both units are unplugged before making any connections.
• If your TV only has one audio input, the use of a “Y” connector may be necessary. Visit your local electronics supply store.
• Connect the DVD player to your TV directly. If you connect the DVD player through a VCR, the playback picture will be
distorted because DVD video discs are copy protected.

• Connect the DVD player to your TV directly. If you connect the DVD player through a VCR, the playback picture will be
distorted because DVD video discs are copy protected.
• If using a TV with a blue screen option, turn the option off on the TV for best results.
PROGRESSIVE (Y, PB, PR) VIDEO OUT:
Use these jacks to connect to a TV with progressive video input jacks, set the progressive scan switch to ‘ON’. Progressive
scan is a video scanning system that displays all lines in a frame in one pass, as opposed to the traditional system,
interlaced scan. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade
cables for connections. Note that it is essential to match the color-coded connectors with a compatible TV.
525 LINE DIGITAL PROGRESSIVE-SCAN COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV
or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)
For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.
NOTES:
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and set the PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch is
in the ON position, you will not be able to see any picture at all. To regain the picture, you must shut the unit off and set
the PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch to the OFF position. Then, turn the unit on and the picture will appear.
• CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE
WITH THIS PRODUCT AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURE. IN CASE OF 525
PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SET THE PROGRESSIVE
SCAN SWITCH TO ’OFF’

•
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If
necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.

motions.
