INTRODUCTION
Before Use (Cont’d)
Precautions
Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
When setting the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
To keep the surface clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn down, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not
get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl.

Digital Audio Output
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according to the
type of audio system you use.
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”
if you connected the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to
a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).
Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connected
the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or
other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital
decoder or MPEG decoder.
PCM: Select when connected to a 2 channel digital
stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1 or MPEG2
recording system.
Sample Frequency
To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select
the desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 48KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will automatically convert any 96KHz
signals to 48KHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will pass each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Others
The DRC and Vocal settings can be changed.
Press 33/44to select the desired item and press
SELECT/ENTER. The setting of the selected item is
changed between On and Off.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into a normal stereo sound.

Notes on MP3 Discs
About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using
MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a
file extension “.mp3”.
MP3 disc compatible with this player is limited
as follows:
1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz
2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps
3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
therefore recommend that you use “Easy-CD
Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please
use finished CD-R discs only.
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.
8. Do not use special letters such as “_?!><+*}{`[@
]:;\/.,” etc.
9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than
200.

set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 files).
Customers should also note that permission is required
in order to download MP3 files and music from the
Internet. Our company has no right to grant such per-
mission. Permission should always be sought from the
