Connections & Setup  
Things to Consider Before You Connect  
Protect Against Power Surges  
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.  
Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet  
packed with your DVD player.  
Protect Components from Overheating  
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can  
circulate freely.  
Don’t stack components.  
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t flow  
around other components.  
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of  
straight down the middle of the back of the TV.  
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables  
away from audio/video cables.  
Connection Pictures  
Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book  
show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).  
Types of Discs Your DVD Player will Play  
DVD video discs – DVD video discs contain high quality picture and sound content.  
Audio discs – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only.  
Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference  
is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc.  
CD-R discs, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-ROM (with movie information)

Connections & Setup  
Explanation of Input Jacks and Cables  
This section describes the jacks and cables you can use to make connections (some of the cables may not provided with your DVD player).  
There are several ways to connect components to your DVD player.  
Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance (this book categorizes these levels as Excellent, Very Good, and Good). It’s  
important to remember, we’re talking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. If your component has component video, S-  
VIDEO, composite video (VIDEO, AUDIO Left and Right); component video would be considered excellent, S-Video would be very  
good, and composite video woud be good.  
Component Video (Y PB PR) Jacks and Cables— Excellent Video Quality  
The Y PB PR jacks allow you to connect to a TV that has Component or progressive scan video jacks. This  
connection provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. To ensure  
maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.  
Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y PB PR jacks and  
cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.  
Y
PB  
PR  
S-Video Jack and Cable — Very Good Video Quality  
Component Video  
Cables and Jacks  
The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than the regular video jacks (labeled INPUT1  
VIDEO; INPUT2 VIDEO; INPUT3 VIDEO) because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of  
the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.  
If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect the player to the TV with an S-Video cable for a better quality  
picture.  
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only  
the picture signal, not the sound.  
S-Video Cable and Jack  
Digital Audio Out Jack and Optical Cable — Excellent Audio Quality  
The optical cable is used to connect a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an  
optical cable-type input, you can use an optical cable for the best sound quality.  
Note: This DVD player’s optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard  
governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3® or  
PCM) receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully  
compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a  
connection using anything other than Dolby Digital AC-3 or PCM receiver or decoder could create  
a high noise level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.  
Digital Audio Out  
Cable and Jack  
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type) — Very Good Video and Audio  
These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The audio/video jacks are often  
color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). This is also called composite video.  
Note: If components you are connecting to have only one input for audio (mono), connect it to  
the left (white L/Mono) audio jack and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

Dolby Digital® and DTS®  
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film (while the film is  
being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.  
The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the original movie the  
disc was recorded from was encoded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.  
Please Read This Before Using the OPTICAL or COAXIAL Jacks!  
This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. This player has two types  
of digital audio out jacks: OPTICAL and COAXIAL. Use the jack (and the corresponding cable) that matches the type of OPTICAL  
IN or COAXIAL IN jack your receiver or decoder has.  
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise  
that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers.  
It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Digital Audio Out menu, especially when you use the  
OPTICAL OR COAXIAL jack. For more information, see chapter 4.

OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the DVD player to the Digital Input jack on the back of the receiver.  
You must also set the Digital Output setting in the Digital Audio Out menu (see chapter 4).  
Note: The connection illustration on the left shows a digital optical cable. If your receiver has a  
coaxial AUDIO IN jack, use a shielded (coaxial) video or audio cable with RCA plugs at both ends to  
connect the coaxial digital audio jacks on the DVD player and the A/V receiver.  
2. Connect the video cable.  
A. Basic video connection – Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of  
your DVD Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV.  
OR  
B. S-Video – (optional) If your TV has an S-Video Input jack, connect the S-Video cable to the S-  
VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player and to the S-Video jack on your TV. If your TV  
doesn’t have S-Video, use the basic video connection listed above.  
OR  
C. Component video (optional, not shown in illustration) – If your TV has component video (Y, PB, and  
PR jacks)use video-grade cables for the Y, PB, and PR connections. Note that it is essential to match the  
color coded connectors with a compatible TV. If your TV doesn’t have component video, use the basic  
video connection or the S-Video connection listed above.  
3. Down Mix Audio (optional) – Connect the second set of AUDIO OUT jacks on the back of the DVD  
player to the AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the TV. This allows you to listen to discs without going  
through the receiver. For example, if it’s late at night and you want to listen to a disc without 5.1-channel  
sound on, you can turn off the receiver and listen to the disc through the TV speakers.

Installing Batteries in the Remote  
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.  
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the  
diagram on the remote.  
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.  
Important Battery Information  
If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove  
the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.  
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and  
local regulations.  
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if  
inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if  
disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended  
to be recharged.  
Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or  
other personal injury.  
Point the Remote in the Right Direction  
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the  
DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction  
and toward the correct component in order for the remote’s signal to  
communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path  
between the remote and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t  
blocked.  
Turn on the TV and DVD Player  
1. Turn on your TV and tune to the correct video input channel (see following  
page).  
2. Press the DVD button on the DVD remote or the POWER button on the  
DVD player.

How to Find Your TV’s Video Input Channel  
You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel (or S-Video Channel if you connected the  
S-Video  
cable to your TV and to your DVD Player) to see the DVD Player’s menu and to see the content that’s on a  
disc. The video channel on TVs varies for different brands and different models. In order for your DVD remote  
to work, your TV must be set on the correct video input channel. Below are some things to try.  
If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press the TV button on the remote that came with your TV  
(not the DVD remote). Then press the INPUT button on the remote.  
If you have another brand, consult your TV’s Owner’s Manual.  
If those options don’t work, try one of the following options.  
Press a button on the TV remote (see table below).  
Select it from the TV’s menu system.  
Tune directly to the DVD input channel by pressing a specific number (see table below).  
Go through all the channels in the channel list by pressing the channel up/down buttons on the TV.

Connections & Setup  
Programming the Remote to Operate Your TV  
The remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote controllable TVs. The remote is already  
programmed to control most RCA, Proscan, and GE TVs.  
Testing the remote  
To determine whether the remote needs to be programmed, turn the TV ON, point the remote at the TV, and  
press the TV button. Then press ON•OFF or CH+ (channel up) or CH- (channel down) to see if the TV  
responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.  
Entering Codes  
To control a TV that is not from RCA, Proscan or GE, you’ll need to enter the specific codes for the brand of  
TV you have.  
1. Turn on the TV to be programmed.  
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the TV on the code list that’s on the next page.  
3. Point the DVD Player’s remote at the TV.  
4. Press and hold the TV button on the remote.  
5. Enter the code from the code list that’s on the next page.  
6. Release the TV button, and then press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds to the command. If it doesn’t,  
try pressing the TV button and then ON•OFF again.  
7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the TV responds  
to the remote commands.  
Note: This remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of televisions.  
Important!  
You must continue pressing the TV button while you enter the code.  
For example, let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the remote to operate the TV you would:  
Press and hold the TV button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes column.  
Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter  
the second code instead of the first.

Playing DVDs  
Regional Coding  
Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc  
to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This player’s code is region 1.  
Using Different Menus  
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you can use to  
access features:  
The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu. The  
contents of each Disc menu varies according to how the disc was authored and what features are included.  
The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the remote or  
the front of the player.  
The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a  
disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO  
button on the remote or the front of the player.  
The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. It  
appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.  
Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you  
choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a  
menu item is “grayed out” it means that item isn’t available.  
Types of Discs Your Player will Play  
Your DVD player plays the following types of discs:  
DVD discs  
Video CD discs  
Audio CD discs  
CD-R discs, CD-RW discs  
DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-ROM (with movie information)  
MP3 discs  
Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used  
with this player:  
Laserdiscs  
CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), DVD-ROM (without movie information)  
Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)  
DVD RAM

This is an example  
of a one-sided

Continue placing discs into the tray as described above. There are 5 discs in

• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc  
play. Highlight that option and press OK on the DVD remote.  
This is an example  
of a 2-sided disc.  
The title is in the  
center.  
When you stop playing a disc, the DVD player remembers where you stopped.  
When you start playing the disc again, the player picks up where you left off  
unless the disc is removed, the player is unplugged, or you pressed the STOP  
button twice.  
Selecting Discs from the Disc Tray  
The tray holds 5 discs. To move to the next disc in the tray, press the disc skip button on the front of the  
player.  
You can also select a different disc by pressing one of the numbered DISC SELECT buttons on the front of

Using a Disc Menu  
A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on-  
screen Info Display. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters, or it may allow you to  
change features such as language and playback settings.  
Although the content and operation of disc menus vary from disc to disc, the following example will give you  
an idea of what to expect.  
1. While the disc is playing, press the MENU button on the remote or the front  
of the player. The disc menu appears.  
An example of a disc menu. The  
menus on discs vary because the disc  
menu is created by the disc’s author.  
2. Press the up/down arrow buttons to highlight the section of the disc menu  
you want to choose, and press OK on the remote. In the example on the left,  
Language has been selected.  
In this example, The Language  
setting is highlighted. To select this  
option, press OK on the remote.  
3. Press the up/down arrows to select a language, and press OK on the remote.  
4. Press MENU on the remote or the front of the player to resume playback.  
Note: Any settings you change on the disc menu only override the  
default settings in the DVD Player’s menu temporarily. Default settings  
are the settings that you set up in the DVD Player’s menu system. To  
change the default settings, see Chapter 4.  
In the example above, English is  
highlighted. Press OK on the remote  
to play the disc with English dialog.

Using the On-Screen Info Display  
The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info Display, press the INFO button  
on the remote or the front of the player while a disc is playing. The Info Display appears across the top of the  
screen. Each feature is represented by an icon. Use the left/right arrow buttons on the remote or the front of  
the player to move through the different icons in the Info Display.  
When an icon is highlighted, press OK to select it.  
Remember, you can only access the Info Display when you’re playing a disc. Also, the Info Display features are  
only available if the disc was created with that particular feature (i.e., if you select the Subtitle icon, you won’t  
be able to change the subtitle language unless the author of the disc created the disc with subtitles).  
The invalid symbol  
appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t have any function. If one  
of the icons is “grayed out,” that Info Display feature isn’t available for the disc you’re playing. To make the  
Info Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote or the front of the player.

Notes:  
Changing the subtitle language with the Info Display will only affect  
the disc currently being played. When the disc is removed or the player  
is turned off, the subtitle language will revert to the language setting  
specified through the DVD player main menu.  
The subtitle language can also be changed through the DVD player  
menu.

What is a Video CD?  
Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a  
different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high.  
Because a VCD contains less information than a DVD disc, some of the features provided by the player may  
not work with some VCDs.

Playing MP3 Discs  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is a format for storing digital audio. An audio CD-quality song can be compressed into MP3 format with  
very little loss of quality, while taking up much less space.  
CD-R or a CD-RW discs that have been encoded in MP3 format can be played on your DVD player. In this  
manual, CD-R and CD-RW discs will be referred to as MP3 discs. MP3 files, or songs, are referred to as titles.  
Obtaining MP3 files  
There are two ways to obtain MP3 files:  
By using computer software to encode MP3 files from an audio CD – You can download the software  
necessary to encode MP3 files from the internet.  
When encoding MP3 files, you can include information such as title, artist, genre, and comments that  
will be displayed by your DVD player at the time the title is played. This information must be included at  
the time the file is encoded in order for it to be displayed at the time you play it on the player.  
Downloading MP3 files from the internet – There are many internet sites that allow you to download  
MP3 files for free, and many sites that require a fee.

Rated Titles  
The Rating option lets you determine how your player will react to discs that contain movies that are rated (in  
the U.S.A., the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA) rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.).  
You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t. This system ranks the ratings 1 through 8  
in order to accommodate different countries’ ratings systems (1 is considered a movie title with the least  
offensive material).  
In order for the Rating Level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with rating information. If the author  
of the disc did not encode rating information, then this feature will not work for that disc.  
The DVD Player must be locked (password protected) in order for it to enforce the settings in the Rating  
menu.

is unsuitable for children.

TV Aspect  
The TV Aspect adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV. Standard TVs are 4 x 3 format. Depending on the  
type of television you have, you may want to adjust the screen setting (also called the aspect ratio).  
1. If a disc is playing, press STOP and MENU (the menu appears).  
2. Highlight TV Aspect. Press OK. The TV Aspect options appear.  
3. Highlight the option you want (as described below) and press OK.  
4 x 3 Letterbox – Choose this setting if you want to see movies in their original  
aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio). You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it  
will take up a smaller portion of the screen vertically. The movie might appear  
with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.  
4x3 Letterbox  
4 x 3 Standard – Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire  
screen of your TV. This might mean that parts of the picture (the left and right  
edges) won’t be seen.  
Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion. This  
means the black bars will appear at the top and the bottom of the screen.  
4x3 Standard  
16 x 9 Widescreen – Choose this setting if your DVD Player is connected to a  
widescreen TV. If you choose this setting and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the  
images on the screen may appear distorted due to vertical compression.  
If you play a disc recorded in 4 x 3 format on a widescreen TV, the left and right  
side of the screen will appear black.  
Some movies are actually slightly wider than 16 x 9. In this case, black bars will  
appear at the top and bottom of the screen even in Widescreen mode.  
16x9 Widescreen  
Note: Some discs are already formatted with black bars so the entire image can be  
seen on a standard TV screen. If you have a widescreen TV and you are playing this  
type of disc, you will need to set your TV to expand the image. See your TV User’s  
Manual.

processor that is capable of playing conventional PCM audio for CDs.  
Dolby Digital: Choose this setting if you connected a Dolby Digital receiver.  
DTS: Choose this setting if you connected a DTS receiver or decoder to your DVD Player.

you play must support the DTS audio format. If you choose DTS and  
your receiver or decoder doesn’t support DTS, you won’t hear any  
audio.

Troubleshooting  
If you are experiencing product operation problems, please review the troubleshooting section before you call for service. Refer to the Limited  
Warranty for information on how to obtain repair service.  
Player won’t work  
Reset the DVD Player by unplugging the AC power cord and plugging it back in.  
No Power  
Plug in the DVD Player. Make sure both ends of the AC power cord are securely plugged into the player and into an AC outlet.  
Disc won’t play  
Insert a disc with the label side facing up.  
Check the type of disc you put into the player. This player only plays DVD video discs, Video CDs, audio CDs, CD-R discs and CD-RW discs.  
If the disc is a DTS music CD, it requires a DTS decoder.  
Both the player and the disc are coded by region. If the regional codes don’t match, the disc can’t be played. This player is Region No. 1.  
Play starts, but then stops immediately  
The disc is dirty. Clean it.  
Condensation has formed. Allow player to dry out. For more information, go to page 63.  
No picture  
Turn your TV to its Video Input Channel. For more information, go to page 21.  
Turn on the TV.  
Make sure your player is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted into the appropriate jacks.  
No sound or distorted sound  
Make sure your player is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted into the appropriate jacks.  
You may need to readjust the Digital Audio Out setting (see chapter 4).  
Turn your TV to its Video Input Channel. For more information, go to page 21.  
Sound is muted during still, frame advance, or slow-motion play.  
If you connected an audio or audio/video receiver to your DVD Player, make sure you chose the correct setting in the Digital Audio Out menu. For  
more information, go to page 56.  
Make sure you have checked the Dolby Digital and DTS boxes in the Digital Audio Out menu.  
Player skips over songs on my MP3 disc  
Be sure that you have encoded the file as MPEG-1 layer III.  
Increase the bit rate (quality) the next time you create a CD.  
The ID3 information is not displayed for some files  
When creating a disc, use ID3 version 1tags.

Troubleshooting  
Remote control won’t work  
If you are using a universal remote, you might be in the wrong mode. To operate your DVD Player, press DVD on the remote before you press any  
other buttons. If you’re operating the TV, press the TV button first, etc.  
Insert new batteries in the remote.  
Operate the remote control at a distance of no more than 20 feet.  
Remove any obstacles between the remote and the DVD Player or other component. If your DVD Player is in an entertainment cabinet, the glass  
doors may be obstructing the remote control from operating the unit. Open the doors.  
Reset the remote. Remove batteries and hold down one or more buttons for about one minute to drain the microprocessor inside the remote to reset  
it. Reinstall batteries and try the remote again.  
Can’t advance through a movie  
You can’t advance through the opening credits and warning information that appear at the beginning of movies because the disc is programmed to  
prohibit that action.  
The  
icon appears on screen  
The feature or action cannot be completed at this time because:  
– The disc’s software restricts it.  
– The disc’s software doesn’t support that feature (e.g., angles).  
– The feature is not available at the moment.  
You’ve requested a title or chapter number that doesn’t exist.  
The picture is distorted  
Did you connect your VCR to the DVD Player? Disconnect it. See chapter 1 for the correct setup and connection.  
The disc might be damaged. Try another disc.  
Picture is distorted during forward and reverse scan  
It is normal for some distortion to appear while scanning.  
A screen saver appears on the TV  
Your player is equipped with a screen saver that appears on the TV after your player has been idle for several minutes. Press STOP or GO BACK on  
the remote to make the screen saver disappear from the screen and return to the player’s main menu.  
Subtitle and/or audio language is not the one selected from the initial setting  
If the subtitle and/or audio language you’ve chosen as the default does not exist on the disc, the initial settings will not be seen/heard. The disc’s  
priority language is selected instead. Set the subtitle and/or audio language manually through the Info Display or the player menu.  
The menu is displayed in a foreign language  
The Menu Language preference is set to that language. From the DVD player’s main menu, select the Player Menu option. Highlight  
the language you prefer and press OK.  
Play doesn’t begin  
The rating of the title on the disc exceeds the rating limit set in the Rating List when you press PLAY. Unlock the player or change the rating limit in  
those menus (see chapter 4).

Other Information  
Troubleshooting  
No forward or reverse scan  
Some discs have sections that prohibit rapid scanning, or title and chapter skip.  
If you’re trying to skip through the warning information and credits at the beginning of a movie, you won’t be able to. This part of the movie is often  
programmed to prohibit skipping through it.  
Camera angle cannot be changed  
Some discs don’t have the multi-camera angles, and some discs only have it in certain parts of the movie.  
Picture is too tall and thin  
Change the aspect ratio using the TV Aspect setting in the main menu (see chapter 4).  
Picture is too short and wide  
Change the aspect ratio using the TV Aspect setting in the main menu (see chapter 4).  
Cannot copy discs to video tape  
You can’t record DVD discs onto videocassettes because the discs are encoded with anti-copy protection.  
Disc won’t eject  
When you put a disc into the player, the player may take up to 15 seconds to read the disc. You won’t be able to eject the disc during this time. Wait  
15 seconds and try again.  
Forgot password  
Point the remote at the DVD player. Press and hold the STOP button on the front of the DVD Player and the STOP button on the remote control at  
the same time (hold both buttons down at the same time for at least 3 seconds). The player will unlock. Follow the instructions for locking your player  
and changing the password in Chapter 4.

Other Information  
Handling Cautions  
Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.  
Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s internal parts may be  
damaged.  
Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.  
Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.  
Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.  
Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this occurs, turn the player off  
and on again with the ON•OFF button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The player will  
operate normally.  
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.  
Maintenance of Cabinet  
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.  
Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.  
Formation of Condensation  
Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside  
the player.  
When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature  
until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.  
If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.  
Handling Discs  
Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.  
Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.  
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.  
Cleaning Discs  
Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the  
inner edge toward the outer perimeter.  
If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove any water drops with a  
dry cloth.  
Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile  
solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

For how long after your purchase:  
90 days from date of purchase - Unit exchange, which includes parts and labor.  
91 days to 1 year from date of purchase - Unit exchange, which includes parts only; you pay the labor.  
The warranty for rental units begins with the first rental or 45 days from date of shipment to the rental firm, whichever comes first.  
What we will do:  
During the initial 90 days:  
Exchange the DVD unit with a new or, at our option, refurbished unit.  
After the 90 days and within one year:  
Exchange the DVD unit with a new or, at our option, refurbished unit. We will bill you a flat exchange charge to replace a defective unit. This charge  
covers the labor cost for its repair.  
How you get service:  
Call 1-800-311-9263 and have your unit’s date of purchase and model/serial number ready. The model/serial number information is on the back of  
your unit.  
A representative will troubleshoot your problem over the phone.  
If the representative determines that you should receive a replacement unit you will be provided with a Service Request (SR) number and the location  
of a nearby exchange point if one exists. No returns will be accepted without the SR number.  
Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice which is evidence that the product is within the warranty period must be presented  
to obtain warranty service. For rental firms, proof of first rental is also required.  
To receive a replacement unit before you return yours:  
Option I:  
1. Provide your Discover, MasterCard or Visa account number and expiration date to your phone representative. This is for security purposes only and  
your account will not be charged at this time.  
2. We will send you a replacement unit.  
3. If you return the unit to us within 14 days from the date you were provided a SR number, only items not covered by warranty will be charged to your  
account. If your unit is not received within 14 days, the suggested retail value of the unit will be charged to your credit card. This amount will be  
credited, less a $10 handling fee, if the unit is subsequently received.  
4. Ship your defective unit back to us using the replacement unit’s carton. Shipping instructions will be included on the carton along with your SR  
number which will allow you to easily ship the unit back to us. Make sure you insure your shipment in case of damage or loss. Include with the  
shipment:  
Evidence of purchase date such as a bill of sale.  
A brief note describing your unit’s problem.  
Your name, address and phone number.  
Option II:  
1. For a fee of $10.00, we will send a replacement unit to our exchange point.  
2. The exchange location will notify you of its arrival.  
3. Take your unit and evidence of purchase date, such as a bill of sale, to the exchange location and you will be provided the new or refurbished unit.  
Please retain all accessories such as the remote control hand unit.  
4. If the repairs are covered by your warranty, you will not be billed.
