PRECAUTIONS
POWER SOURCE
AC CONNECTION
Insert the small end of the AC adapter into the jack on the rear of the unit. Insert the other
end (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V AC, 60Hz.
AC ADAPTER SPECIFICATIONS:
DC 12V Z
NOTES:
• To disconnect the AC adapter, remove it from the DC IN jack as well as from the AC
outlet.
• Use the enclosed AC adapter for this product only.
NOTES ON HANDLING:
• When shipping this unit, always use the original
shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed
at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the DVD player for a long time. They will
leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the player may become
warm after a long period of use. This is normal and
not a malfunction.
• When the player is not in use, be sure to remove the
disc and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the player for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and
use the player occasionally.
NOTES ON LOCATING THE UNIT:
• When you place this unit near another TV or a radio,
the playback picture may become poor and the sound
may be distorted. In this case, move the player away
from the other TV or the radio.
NOTES ON CLEANING:
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it
dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and
benzene, as they may damage the surface of
the player.
• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product’s instructions.
Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other
components of playback mechanism should be performed
by a qualified service technician.
NOTES ON OISTURE CONDENSATION:
oisture condensation damages this unit. Please read
the following carefully.
• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens
inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of
the player.
oisture condensation occurs during the following
cases:
• When you bring this unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
• When you use this unit in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the
air conditioner directly hits the unit.
• In summer, when you use this unit in a hot and humid
place just after you moved this unit from an air
conditioned room.
• When you use this unit in a humid place.
Do not use this unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
• If you use this unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of this unit to the wall outlet, turn on this unit
and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or
three hours, this unit will have warmed up and
evaporated any moisture. Keep this unit connected to
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will
seldom occur.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:
The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If
the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a
clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000
hours of use depending on the operating environment.
For details, contact your nearest dealer.

INSTALLING THE UNIT UNDER A CABINET
The suggested mounting position of the unit is under a wall cabinet, but it can be installed under many areas. There should
be at least 2-1/2” distance between the unit and the wall to allow for connections and ventilation.
6
INSTALLATION
Cut the template and place inside the cabinet with the
template border marked “FRONT” along the front edge of
the cabinet, then use adhesive tape to fix the template. Drill
four 1/4” diameter holes as shown on the template. Remove
template when finished.
1
Measure the height of the cabinet bottom and overhang.
If the cabinet bottom is 1” thick, then the spacers are not
necessary, use screws only as shown.
2a
If the cabinet bottom is 3/4” thick, then use the spacers
turned upwards as shown.
3
If the cabinet bottom is 3/8” to 1/2” thick, then use the
spacers turned downwards as shown.
4
With a screwdriver (not an electric screwdriver or drill), fasten the
four screws into the spacer holder holes (or fasten the screw to
your set if spacers were not needed). Start screwing at two
opposite corners of the unit for better support.
5
Push the release latch, pull down the screen to a maximum
of 180° and rotate.
6
IPORTANT NOTES:
• Since the unit is rather heavy, be careful while mounting.
