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 sound will not be
picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc 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:
COMPACT
•
Video CD
for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction,
including multiplex sound.
DIGITAL VIDEO
PlayBack
Control
•
Video CD with Playback Control function
featuring menu-type operation and super-fine still
pictures for audio and video (moving picture) re-
production, including multiplex sound.
•
•
CD Graphics (CD-G)
for audio and video (still picture) reproduction,
including multiplex sound.
'
GRAPHICS
Digital Audio CD
Care of the label side
including single discs
for audio reproduction.
Do not damage the label side, stick paper or use any adhesive on its
surface.
'
CDs you can't play back
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on
topofanotherwithouttheirprotectivecases,theycanbedamaged. Do
notputdiscsinalocationwheretheymaybeexposedtodirectsunlight,
or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving
discs in your car!
Do not play back CD-ROMs, DVDs, or CD-is on this equipment. Doing
so may generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
Using the remote control
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are installed
properly.
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or 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.
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.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try again. If it
still does not function, check the batteries.
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.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of
the Player.
Page 1
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Basic connections
The Video CD Player must be connected directly to a television set or
an amplifier that is connected to a television or monitor. The television
set or the amplifier must have audio input jacks for right and left
channels and a video input jack.
Select a level, dry location free of dust and vibration, having a
temperature maintained between 5 and 35°C (41 and 95°F).
Notes
•
•
•
When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a PAL
exclusive TV, the image may be distorted.
If the signal doesn’t synchronize, change the mode to “PAL”.
Select the mode before you play the disc. If you change the mode
during play, images may get distorted. In this situation stop the
player and reset the mode.
WhenyouplayanNTSCdiscinPALAUTOmodeonaMultisystem
TV, the image may blink for a moment. This symptom is caused by
the Player detecting the formula of the disc, not by a malfunction of
the Player.
Connecting the player to a TV or amplifier
using the Audio Video cord
First connect the Audio Video cord — before connecting the AC power
cord.
Firmly insert the yellow pin plug of the Audio Video cord in the yellow
VIDEO OUT jack on the rear panel of the player; the red pin plug in the
red AUDIO OUT (RIGHT) jack; and the white pin plug in the white
AUDIO OUT (LEFT) jack. (The RIGHT and LEFT output jacks are for
the right and left audio channels.)
Then make sure that the television, amplifier or receiver is turned off,
disconnect the AC power cord, and firmly insert the pin plugs at the
other end of the Audio Video cord into the matching video and audio
INPUT jacks.
Connecting the power cord
IMPORTANT (not applicable for China)
Check the setting of the LINE VOLTS switch on the rear panel of
*
the player.
Change the setting if the switch is not set for the main voltage
supplied to your home.
After the audio-video connectors had been connected, insert the
female end of the power cord firmly into the AC POWER CORD
socket located on the rear panel of the player. Then insert the male
end of the power cord into the wall outlet.
AUDIO OUT
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY indicator on the
left-hand side of the player’s front panel comes on. [See “overview
