Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventitation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. _fthey are blocked,
heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures that
may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to
casseftes or discs.
For protection, foitow these ru_es:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in

2 KEEPANTENNACLEAROF HIGHVOLTAGEPOWERLINESORCIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located welt away from
power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never
come into contact with these power sources if it should happen
to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should
be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power
sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved,
antenna installation should be left to a professional.

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes
on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be
marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since
the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a non-abrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.

Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple
channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier and speakers.
There are two types of connection, digital and analog.
A. Digital connection (DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector)

bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector. When DECK
is connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality
audio in your home. [An optical digital audio cable (optional) is required when an optional
Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used.]
B.Analog connection (5.1 ch Analog Audio Output Connector)
Connect an amplifier with multi-channel audio input terminals. This DECK can decode
Dolby Digital and DTS. There are no limitations on sampling frequency with this kind of
connection.

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
•When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does not
contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select "PCM" at "Dolby Digital"
and "PCM" at "dts" of the Settings for DVD Operation "Audio Output" (see p. 50).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may
be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
•When a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder is connected, please select "Bitstream" at "dts" or
"Dolby Digital" of the Settings for DVD Operation "Audio Output".
If "PCM" is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 50.)
•Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
