PRECAUTIONS
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 DVD PLAYER:
• When you place this player near another TV, radio or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, move the player
away from the TV, radio or VCR.
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 MOISTURE CONDENSATION:
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player. Please
read the following carefully.
•Moisturecondensationoccurs,forexample,whenyou
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 DVD
player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases:
•WhenyoubringtheDVDplayerdirectlyfromacoldplace
to a warm place.
•When you use the DVD player 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 the DVD player in a hot and
humid place just after you moved the unit from an air
conditioned room.
•When you use the DVD player in a humid place.
Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation
may occur.
•IfyouusetheDVDplayerinsuchasituation,itmay
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall
outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it “ON” for two
or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player
will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD player 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.

RECEIVING ATSC CHANNELS
You can connect to an outdoor antenna to receive the free ATSC digital channels. The size of the antenna you will need will depend on
how far away the television station broadcast antennas are from you. The further the distance, the larger the antenna you need. If you’re
unsure of how far you are, you can go to http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code to search their database for your distance
and the direction of the broadcast antennas. If you’re fairly close you may be able to get away with just a small antenna that will sit on top
of your TV set. If you need a larger antenna, you can either put one in the attic or outside on an antenna mast.

11
CABLE (CATV)/SATELLITE CONNECTIONS
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some
Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the
rear of the TV.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect
the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of
the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the
