Setup menu
• When the language you have selected is not recorded
on a file, the original language is automatically
used as the initial language. In addition, the initial
language settings will not work as you had set due to
the internal programming.
• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect
ratio is 4:3, the picture changes slightly due to the
process for converting the picture width.
• Even if “4:3 AN SCAN” is selected, the screen size
may become “4:3 LETTERBOX” for some files.
When using the cigarette lighter adapter...
• When you turn the ignition switch off, the power of
the unit also turns off. Next time you turn the power

ignition switch.
• If the unit does not work correctly, turn off the power
then on again.

About sounds reproduced through the
rear terminals
• Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/
LINE OUT): A 2-channel signal is emitted. When
playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-
channel signals are downmixed. (AUDIO—DOWN
MIX: see page 16.)
• Through the DIGITAL OUT (optical):
Digital signals (Linear CM, Dolby Digital, M EG
Audio) are emitted through this terminal. (For
more details, see table on page 19.)
To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby
Digital, and M EG Audio, connect an amplifier or
a decoder compatible with these multi-channel
sources to this terminal, and set “DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT UT” accordingly. (See page 16.)
