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).

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.

Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to NTSC, PAL, or PAL AUTO mode according to your television system.

for NTSC exclusive TV

PAL AUTO

for Multisystem TV

 

PAL AUTO detects the formula of the disc (NTSC/

 

PAL) automatically and plays the image on the

 

screen correctly.

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.

When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a Multi system 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 power cord

IMPORTANT

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.

With the LINE VOLTAGE switch correctly set and the audio-video connectors connected, insert the smaller plug of the power cord firmly into the AC POWER CORD socket on the rear panel of the player.

When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY indicator on the left-hand side of the player’s front panel comes on. [See “Overview of Controls” for a description of the controls on the player.]

Line voltage alteration

What is your power main voltage? Is it between 115 and 127V, or 220 and 240V? If the LINE VOLTS switch on the rear panel of the player is not set to your power main voltage, disconnect the power cord if it is already connected, and change the switch setting accordingly.
