PRECAUTIONS
Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care-
fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit
itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.
Safety
1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply
to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will
fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or
cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when
connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the
power off. When left unused for a long time, the unit should be
unplugged from the household AC outlet.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the
unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Installation
Environment
1. Water and Moisture—Do not use this unit near water—for ex-
ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
Damp basements should also be avoided.
2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in the following
conditions…
³immediately after a heater has been turned on.
³in a steamy or very humid room.
³when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a
warm one.
If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To
correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one hour
for the moisture to evaporate.
3. Heat—The unit should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in tempera-
tures less than 5oC (41oF) or greater than 35oC (95oF).
Placement
1. Ventilation—The unit should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow
10 cm (4q) clearance from the rear of the unit.
2. Foreign Material—Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this
unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
3. Carts and Stands—The unit should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
The unit and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un-
even surfaces may cause the unit and cart combi-
nation to overturn.
4. Mounting—Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Maintenance
Disconnect this unit from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moist-
ened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
Service
1. Damage Requiring Service—The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
(b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to water; or
(d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
2. Servicing—The user should not attempt to service the unit be-
yond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic-
ing should be referred to an authorized service personnel.
For the address of an authorized servicenter:
In the U.S.A., call 1-800-211-7262,
e-mail [email protected],
or visit www.panasonic.com
In Canada, call 905-624-5505
or visit www.panasonic.ca
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing, ensure the
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to
perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working
condition.

contact flame or water.
³Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.
³Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.
³Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
³Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can

If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any
part of your body.
Correct method of use

Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound
come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distor-
tion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
ÁStart your volume control at a low setting.
ÁSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
ÁSet the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

³Ensure that this player and other equipment to be connected are switched to the standby mode or off and disconnect the AC power supply cord
before commencing connection.
³Do not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.
³Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.
³Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables.
³See page 32 for information about how to upgrade your system with other audio/visual equipment.
Note
³Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.
³TV volume may be lower when playing DVDs than during television broadcasts. Turn the volume up while playing DVDs and reduce it to the
previous level before switching the source back to television to avoid sudden changes in volume.
³When you have finished connection, select the appropriate screen type at the initial setting “6 TV Aspect” according to your television (4:3/16:9)
(ápage 10). No changes are needed if you connect the player to a conventional television (4:3).
Conserving power
³The unit consumes approximately 2.0 W (for U.S.A. and Canada) or 4.0 W (for others) even when it is turned off with [POWER ê/I]. To save
power when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
Connect Your Player Directly To Your
Television.
If the player is connected to the television through a video cas-
sette recorder, the picture may not be played back correctly due
to the copy guard. So we strongly recommend you do not con-
nect the player to your video cassette recorder when setting up
your home entertainment system.
³Connect to the television section if you connect the player to a
combined television-video player.
Do not place the
player on amplifiers or
other equipment
which may become
hot.
The heat can damage the player.
Connecting to a television with video input terminal
AC 110–240V, 50/60 Hz

³If your television is monaural, use a stereo-monaural audio cable instead of the supplied audio/video cable. The video part of the cable (yellow)
can still be used if required. To player audio output terminal (white, “L”)

plug adaptor (included).
³Confirm the voltage in each country before using this player.
³For connection, use a power plug adaptor of the proper configuration for the household AC outlet.
