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.

shows provide two or three lined Captions placed near the
character who is speaking so the viewer can follow
the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign
languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung
usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions,
look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).
NOTES:
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These
transmissions do not allow time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as Mute, may not be seen or may interfere with
Closed Captions.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
