Safety Precautions  
FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radio frequency  
energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful  
interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruc-  
tion manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if  
an unauthorized change or modification is made.  
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord  
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated  
circuit;  
That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and  
has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification  
page of this owner's manual to be certain.  
REGULATORY INFORMATION: FCC Part 15  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses  
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particu-  
lar installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off  
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or dam-  
aged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged  
or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions  
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of  
your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriora-  
tion, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord  
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.  
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as  
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon.  
Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the  
cord exits the appliance.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit  
different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV  
technician for help.  
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug.  
When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

The battery pack has reached the end of its service life (it can be  
recharged about 300 times).  
• Do not disassemble; dispose of properly.  
• Do not short-circuit.  
A If the unit is not used for a long time  
NOTE  
• Detach the battery pack. (Even if the unit is off, it still uses some power.  
This can lead to over discharging of the battery and malfunction.)  
• Recharge the battery pack when you are ready to use it again.  
Charging a battery only happens when the power is off.  
The battery will not be charged when it is naturally or purposely  
discharged. Because the unit cannot perceive battery voltage,  
even if you attached the battery.  
When you are in this situation, power on the unit and then power  
off again. Then battery charge will proceed.

AUDIO  
Sample Freq. (Frequency)  
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz  
signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit auto-  
matically converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system  
can decode them.  
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the play-  
er’s AUDIO options according to the type of audio system you use.  
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz signals,  
select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit passes each  
type of signal through without any further processing.  
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its  
capabilities.  
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)  
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the  
most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital  
audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the  
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the  
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to  
a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set  
DRC to On for this effect.  
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG  
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connect the unit’s DIGITAL  
OUT jack to an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby  
Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder.  
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when connected to a  
two-channel digital stereo amplifier. DVDs encoded in Dolby  
Digital or MPEG will be automatically downmixed to two-chan-  
nel PCM audio.  
Vocal  
Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing.  
The karaoke channels on the disc mix into normal stereo sound.  
Off (for DTS): If you select “Off”, the DTS signal is not output  
through the DIGITAL OUT jack.
