2.About This Manual

This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the DVD AV Controller. Some DVD vid- eos do not support the full potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD AV Controller may therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on discs.

A “ ” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It means that the operation is not per- mitted by the DVD AV Controller or the disc.

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 120 V 60 Hz or AC 230-240 V 50 Hz) written on the rear panel.

Setting the STANDBY/ON button to standby does not shut off the power completely. So the power cord should be removed from the AC outlet when the unit is not going to be used for a long time.

6.Do not touch the unit with wet hands.

Do not handle the unit or power cord (mains lead) when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

7.Location of the unit

Place the unit in a well-ventilated location. Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heat- ing units as the unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations from the speak- ers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal posi- tion. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface, as it may malfunction.

When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

8.Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thin- ners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
