PRECAUTIONS
if it becomes necessary to transport or ship this unit
in the future, be sure to first remove the disc (if
loaded), and retract the disc table to its closed position.
Then turn the power off, and, after the “OFF” display
goes out on the display, disconnect the power cord.
INSTALLING THE PLAYER
® Place the player on a stable platform next to the television
and stereo system to be used with the player.
@ VWhen using the player with a stereo system, your
speakers should be placed away from your television (or
TV monitor).
@ Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the player.
@ Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV
monitor. Also, keep the player away from devices such
as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise
may be generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the
player when not in use. Also, if there is signal noise when
receiving radio stations with an indoor antenna, adjust the
position or direction of the antenna.
INSTALL THE PLAYER IN A WELL VENTILATED
PLACE AWAY FROM HEAT AND HUMIDITY
Do not install the player in a location subject to direct
sunlight, or near a stove or radiator etc. This could adversely
affect the cabinet and internal components. Also avoid
installing the player in a humid or dusty location. This could
result in a malfunction or accident. Do not install near a
cookstove where the player could be affected by smoke,
steam, or heat.
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an
amplifier. When installing with audio cornponents on a rack,
avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player
below such components where there is adequate ventilation
and not much dust. Avoid placing the player on surfaces
such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block
ventilation under the player and cause damage.

Frame numbers are the numbers assigned to each picture
frame on a CAV (standard play) disc. Frame numbers can
be used to search for desired frames (Frame Search).
Time number
Time numbers indicate the time elapsed from the beginning
of a CLV (extended play) disc. Time numbers can be used
to search for desired scenes (Time Search}.

The CD VIDEO SYSTEM is the standard name for the
“optical video disc with digital audio” system that
encompasses both LDs and CDV discs.
The following mark is the standard mark for the CD VIDEO
SYSTEM and is found on all players and discs which conform
to the CD VIDEO SYSTEM format.
The following systems are included in the CD VIDEO
SYSTEM:
<_ >
CD VIDEO
@ CDV (CD VIDEO CDV) dises
@ LaserVision Discs (CD VIDEO LDs) containing digital
sound with sub-codes
@ Compatible players which can play CDs and CDV discs
@ Compatible players which can play CDs, CDV discs, and
LDs
CD VIDEO LDs (*4)
ACD VIDEO LD is an LD with digital audio which is encoded
with sub-codes (data such as TOC and track number data,
excluding audio and video signals).
LDs (LASERDISCS)
With this unit, only play LaserDiscs which bear the following
mark.
cf oy LE
LASER DISC tasertivian
This mark is the standard mark for LaserDiscs.
Players and discs which bear the LaserVision mark are
mutually compatible as long as they conform to the same
television system.
Two types of standard LaserDisc are available — standard
play (CAV) (*5) discs and extended play (CLV) (*3) discs —
which differ with respect to their signal recording systems
CAV (*5) DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a
“Standard Play Disc CAV” or “Standard Play” indication.
Frames are recorded on these discs at a ratio of one frame
per disc revolution, and the discs are played at a fixed
rotational speed (CAV = Constant Angular Velocity) of 1,800
rpm. This system is well suited to special playback modes
such as stil frame playback and multi-speed playback. One
side of a CAV disc can have a playback time of up to 30
minutes (for a 12-inch disc), which is equivalent to 54,000
frames. Each frame — from frame 1 to frame 54,000 — is
encoded with its own frame number.
* Playback time varies according to the contents of the
disc.
NOTE:
This unit cannot perform multi-speed playback even with
Standard Play Discs.

<VRB1089>
CLV (*3) DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a
“Extended Play Disc CLV” or “Extended Play” indication
Signals are recorded on these discs at a constant linear
velocity {CLV}, and the rotational speed during playback
varies from 1,800 rpm for the innermost track to 600 rpm
for the outermost track. As a result, one side of a CLV disc
can have a playback time of up to 60 minutes (for a 12-inch
disc), which is twice as long as a standard play (CAV) disc
CLV discs are encoded with tire numbers which correspond
io the elapsed play time from the beginning of the disc
* Playback time varies according to the contents of the
disc.
LASERVISION DISCS WITH DIGITAL AUDIO (*6)
The jackets and labels of these discs bear the following
mark.
iGi disital
digitnl OF SOUND
These are LaserDiscs which contain digital audio signals in
addition to conventional analog audio signals. This feature
allows the high image quality of LaserDiscs to be enjoyed
together with the superior quality of digital audio. The
digital and analog audio signals are recorded on the disc
using different frequency bands.
LASERVISION MULTI AUDIO DISCS WITH DIGITAL
AUDIO
The jackets and labels of these discs bear the following
mark.
gita|UTLAUDIO or site and ~MULTI AUDIO
These are LaserDiscs in which the recorded digital and
analog audio signals differ in content. This allows the user
to enjoy two different audio soundtracks by switching
between the digital and analog audio
CDV (COMPACT DISC WITH VIDEO)
DISCS
These are compact discs which also contain video signals
Of the total 25-minute playback tirne of a CDV disc, 20
minutes is encoded with conventional CD digital audio
signals (the “audio part"). The remaining 5 minutes is
encoded with both video and digital audio signals (the “video
part").

_ CARE OF DISCS
How to hold discs
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their
playing surfaces.
Cleaning
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and
picture quality.
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral
detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.
Gently wipe from the
inside toward the outer
direction edge.
Do not wipe in a circular
Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or
static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids
such as benzine, or thinner, etc.
NEVER PLAY CRACKED OR WARPED DISCS.
@ The disc revolves on the player at a high speed when it
is played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped
dise. This may damages the player or cause it to
malfunction.
After using discs, store them upright
After playing a di ays remove it from the player and
return it to its jac Then store it standing upright away
from heat and humidity
S If you store Ss at an angle, or
stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped
even when in their jackets.

@ if there is any obstacle between the remote contro/ unit
and the player, or if the unit is held at too large an angle
relative to the front panel of the player, the signal from
the remote control unit will fail to reach the remote
sensor
@ /f the player is operating in the vicinity of other appliances
generating infrared rays, or if other remote control devices
using infrared rays are used near the player, the player
may operate improperly. Conversely, if the player's
remote control unit is operated in the vicinity of other
appliances which use an infrared remote control device,
the other appliance may operate improperly. If this should
happen, change the place of installation so that improper
operation does not occur.
e /f the range of operation of the remote controf unit
becomes too short, replace the batteries
@ When the unit is not to be used for a long period of time
(more than one month), remove the batteries to prevent
them from leaking inside the compartment. ff leakage
occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the campartment and
before inserting new batteries.
e@ Do not place books or other objects on the remote coritrol
unit, since they might depress the buttons and run down
the batteries.
