Precautions  
1. Regional Restriction Codes (Region Number)  
8. Notes on Handling  
Regional restriction codes are built into DVD Players and  
DVD-Video media for each sales region. If the regional code of  
the DVD Player does not match one of the regional codes on  
the DVD-Video, playback is not possible.  
• When shipping the unit, 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  
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with  
the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.  
The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the  
DVD Player. (e.g.  
1
for Region 1)  
• The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm  
after a long period of use.This is not a malfunction.  
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and  
turn off the power.  
• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not  
function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit  
occasionally.  
2. About This Manual  
This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the  
DVD Player. Some DVD-Video discs do not support the full  
potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD Player may  
therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to  
instruction notes on discs.  
A “ ” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It  
means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Player or  
the disc.  
9. To Obtain a Clear Picture  
The unit 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.  
3. Recording Copyright  
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use  
is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.  
4. Power  
WARNING  
10. Notes on Moisture Condensation  
Moisture condensation damages the unit.  
Please read the following carefully.  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST  
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.  
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to  
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the  
area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage  
(e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.  
What is moisture condensation?  
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 the unit, one of  
the most crucial internal parts of the unit.  
5. Do not touch the unit with wet hands  
Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet  
or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the  
unit to an authorized service center for inspection.  
Moisture condensation occurs in the following  
cases.  
– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a  
warm place.  
– When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid  
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned  
room.  
6. Location of the unit  
• Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.  
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides  
of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If  
ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as  
the unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life  
of the pickup.  
• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by  
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the  
unit on or above one of the speakers.  
• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never  
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may  
malfunction.  
– When you use the unit in a humid place.  
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation  
may occur.  
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs  
and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord  
of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for  
two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have  
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit  
connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will  
seldom occur.  
• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the  
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be  
distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV,  
radio, or VCR.  
7. Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels  
and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a  
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring  
it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry  
immediately with a clean cloth.  
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical  
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or  
remove the panel lettering.

type of disc.  
You cannot play discs such as CD-ROM, DVD-Audio, DVD-  
RAM, DVD-RW, etc., even if the marks in the above table are  
labeled on those discs.  
• The North American version of this DVD Player outputs NTSC  
format video only. Other models output NTSC or PAL depending  
on the format used by the disc currently being played. DVD discs  
that use other video formats (e.g., SECAM) cannot be played on  
this DVD Player.  
• Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing irregularly  
shaped discs may damage the internal mechanism of the DVD  
Player.

Dynamic Range setting allows you to compressthe dynamic  
range of a DVDs sound track, so that you can lower the volume  
without losing extremely soft signals. This is especially useful  
when you are watching a movie late at night.  
This sets the screen size (4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio) according to the  
connected TV.  
4 x 3 Letterbox:  
Choose this setting if you would  
prefer to see movies in their  
original aspect ratio. You will see  
the entire frame of the movie, but  
it will occupy a smaller portion  
of the screen. This setting may  
result in the movie appearing  
with black bars at the top and  
bottom of the screen.  
Off:  
On:  
Full dynamic range is maintained.  
Dynamic range is reduced.  
Notes  
This function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs.  
The level of Dynamic Range Reduction may differ depending on the DVD.

the movie to fill the entire screen  
of your TV. You wont see part of  
the picture (particularly the right

Some disc produced in a wide  
screen format cant be cropped in  
this fashion, which means the
