CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS
Discs
Only the discs including the marks shown on page 5
can be played on the DVD-770SD.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart-
shaped discs, hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played
on the DVD-770SD. Do not attempt to play such
discs, as they may damage the player.
Holding Discs
Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and
unloading them.
Be careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
surface (the side which
shines in rainbow colors).
Cleaning Discs
2Fingerprints or dirt on the disc may lower sound
and picture quality or cause breaks in playback.
Wipe off fingerprints or dirt.
2Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a
soft cloth to wipe off fingerprints or dirt.
Wipe gently from the
middle outwards.
Do not wipe with a
circular motion.
NOTE:
• Do not use record spray or antistatic. Also do
not use volatile chemicals such as benzene or
thinner.
Record

Thinner Benzene
Cautions on Handling Discs
• Do not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.
• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when
removing them from their cases.
• Do not bend discs.
• Do not heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the center hole.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball-
point pen or a pencil.
• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc
is moved suddenly from a cold place to a warm one.
Do not use a hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.
Cautions on Storing Discs
• Always eject discs after playing them.
• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches and warping.
• Do not put discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
of time
2. Humid or dusty places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.
Cautions on Loading Discs
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on
top of another may result in damage or scratch the
discs.
• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without
using an adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded, it
may slip out of the guide and block the disc tray.
• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when
the disc tray is closing.
• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.
• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that
have been fixed with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of
cellophane tape or glue used to attach the label is
exposed, or discs with traces of tape or labels that

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
2The DVD-770SD can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-963).
(1) Inserting Batteries
qRemove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
wPlace two R03/AAA batteries in the battery
compartment in the direction indicated by the
marks.
eClose the rear cover.
Cautions On Batteries
• Use R03/AAA batteries in this remote control
unit.
• Replace the batteries with new ones
approximately once a year, though this depends
on the frequency with which the remote control
unit is used.
• If the remote control unit does not operate from
close to the main unit, replace the batteries with
new ones, even if less than a year has passed.
• The included battery is only for verifying
operation.
Replace it with a new battery as soon as
possible.
• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so
in the proper direction, following the <and >
marks in the remote control unit’s battery
compartment.
• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or
dispose of batteries in flames.
• Remove the batteries when not planning to use
the remote control unit for a long period of time.
• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the
fluid from the inside of the battery compartment,
then insert new batteries.

w When “96k LPCM OUT”is selected:
Press the ENTER button several times and select the conversion
mode.
96k (Factory default)
When playing linear PCM DVDs that are not copyright-
protected, for 2-channel PCM audio signals up to 96 kHz,
linear PCM signals are output as such without being
converted from the digital outputs.
PCM signals of 48 kHz/16 bits and lower are output, regardless
of whether they are copyright-protected or not.
For DVDs containing multi-channel PCM signals, the digital
signals are down-mixed for output into two channels, front left
and right. (Only the front left and right channels are output for
sources for which down-mixing is prohibited.)
When playing copyright-protected linear PCM DVDs, in
consideration of copyrights, no digital signals are output
for sources exceeding 48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such
sources, either set to “96k
>
48k”or make analog
connections. (See page 9.)
96k>48k
Linear PCM and packed PCM signals are converted to 44.1
kHz or 48 kHz and output. (The PCM digital audio output
signals are converted to 48 kHz or less in consideration of
copyrights.) When making digital connections to an AV
amplifier that is not compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals,
set to “96k>48k”.
When playing DVDs recorded in linear PCM or packed
PCM and the unit is set to output digital and analog audio
signals simultaneously, the analog audio output signals
are also converted to 48 kHz or below, so we recommend
setting to “96k”and also making analog connections.
eWhen “DOWNMIX”is selected:
Press the ENTER button several times and select the output
format.
LT/RT (Factory default)
