• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.
• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.
Disc structure
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be
divided into some “chapters”. For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title
number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has its own
title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same
title has continuity.

Set the COMP-Y/C switch correctly according to your TV.
• If the TV only accommodates the composite video signal, set the switch to “COMP.”.
• If the TV accommodates the Y/C signals, set the switch to “Y/C” so that you can enjoy better-quality pictures.
• If the TV accommodates the RGB signals, set the switch to “COMP.”, as well as make the unit feed the RGB signals by
following the procedure shown below.
How to make the unit feed the RGB signals
The unit cannot output the RGB signals from the SCART connector and the S-video (Y/C) signals from the S-VIDEO jack
simultaneously.
In the initial (factory-preset) condition, the S-VIDEO jack is active, while the RGB signals cannot be output.
To make the unit feed the RGB signals, follow the procedure below. Note that the S-VIDEO jack does not feed correct
signals when the unit is set to output the RGB signals.

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the
digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly
transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG Multichannel decoder or an amplifier with a built-in
decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
When you make the digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on
discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.
When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)
jack, remove the protection cap. Do not
lose the removed cap. When the DIGITAL
OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not used, fix the
protection cap into the jack.

NOTES
• The unit does not provide the DTS decoding function.
• When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS,
use a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your
speakers. Never use the unit's analog output jacks,
which output incorrect signals that may damage your
speakers.
• If you connect the analog outputs and digital outputs
simultaneously, be sure to select the source of the
amplifier correctly, or set the level control of the
amplifier connected to the analog outputs to minimum.

Additional information
Care and handling of discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a
disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may
cause the player to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they
can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the
humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
Additional
information
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc,
wipe 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.
46
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 symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and
safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing
connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of
your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or
if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do
this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the
requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your
hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete
safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according
to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in
the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe
than sorry!
