General Information  
Care and handling of compact discs  
How to handle CDs  
Which compact discs can be used?  
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the  
disc (reflective silver side –– the side without the label).  
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily  
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the  
soundwillnotbepickedupcorrectlyand,inaddition,suchadisc  
may cause the CD player to malfunction.  
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The  
Video CD Player can play the following compact discs:  
Video CD  
for audio and video (moving picture) repro-  
duction, including multiplex sound.  
PlayBack  
Control  
Video CD with Playback Control function  
featuring menu-type operation and super-  
fine still pictures for audio and video (moving  
picture) reproduction, including multiplex  
sound.  
CD Graphics (CD-G)  
for audio and video (still picture) reproduc-  
tion, including multiplex sound.  
'
'
Even on label side  
Donotdamagethelabelside,stickpapertooruseanyadhesive  
on its surface.  
Digital Audio CD, including single discs  
for audio reproduction.  
CDs you can't play back  
Do not play back CD-ROMs on this equipment. Doing so may  
generate a noise which can damage your speakers.  
Storage  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled  
oneontopofanotherwithouttheirprotectivecases, theycanbe  
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!  
Using the remote control  
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are  
installed properly.  
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the  
display window of the player and press a button. The operating  
range of the remote control is up to about seven meters in front  
of the player and within about 30 degrees to each side –– with  
nothing between the remote control and the player interrupting  
the beam path.  
Ifpressingabuttonontheremotecontroldoesnotproduceany  
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try  
again. If it still does not function, check the batteries.  
Maintenance of discs  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it  
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.)

If you have a Hi-Fi stereo system, you can connect your Player  
to it so that the sound can be heard through your Hi-Fi system.  
Please make these additional connections:  
CAUTION:  
This player has a dynamic range of more than 90 dB  
with regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is  
recommended that you check the maximum level if  
you are going to listen to the Hi-Fi audio signals  
through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge in speaker  
input may cause speaker damage.  
Hi-Fi audio connection  
Connect the AUDIO OUT “L” and “R” connectors of  
the player to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR terminals  
of the amplifier.  
Some speakers and televisions are specialty shielded  
to prevent television interference. If both are of the  
non-shielded type, do not place the speakers adjacent  
to the TV set, otherwise the video playback picture  
may be adversely affected.

Notes:  
Make sure “L” and “R” are correct when connecting the  
audio input and output connectors of the player to a stereo  
amplifier.  
When listening to sound from the connected stereo system,  
turn down the sound volume of the TV completely.
