About This Manual

The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc operations.

For some operations, the icon may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this manual is not available on the disc in the player.

On-screen and front panel display illustrations in this manual are purely for the purposes of explanation. The actual displays may differ slightly from these illustrations.

Disc handling precautions

To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using the disc.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not write on the label side with a ball- point pen or other writing utensils.

Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Disc cleaning precautions

Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Disc installing precautions

Do not install more than 1 disc into the loader.

Do not place the disc up-side down.

Hold the disc horizontally when loading, and do not press extensively. The disc loading mechanism should take the disc and slide it into the unit.

Regional Coding

DVD players and discs are designed with region- al restrictions which dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the region number on the disc you want to play does not match the region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the disc. The message “REGION ERR” will appear in the front panel display.

The region code of this player is indicated on the rear and on the external packaging.
