Notes on Unauthorized Discs

You may not be able to play back some DVD video discs on this player if they were purchased from outside your geographic area or made for business purposes. When you try to play back an unauthorized disc, “Check Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.

2.Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3.Replace the cover.

When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
