NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostat-
ic break-down because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused
on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical
pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher
than ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350 °C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges
occur such as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.
RELEASING THE DISC SLOT LOCK
The disc slot lock function for the antitheft of an demonstration
disc in the store is equipped.
Releasing Procedure:
1. Press [`/1] button to turn the power on.
2. Touch the [DVD] sensor to select the “DVD”
3. Touch the [x] sensor and press the [Z] button simultaneously
and hold down until “UNLOCKED” displayed on the fluores-
cent indicator tube (around 5 seconds).
Note: When “LOCKED”is displayed, the slot lock is not released by
turning power on/off with the [`/1]button.
NOTE THE IC103 ON THE DMB17 BOARD REPLAC-
ING
When IC103 on the DMB17 board is damaged, exchange the new
DMB17 board for the DMB17 board which IC103 damaged.

Region code of DVD VIDEOs you
can play back on this system
Your system has a region code printed
on the back of the unit and will only
play back DVD VIDEOs labeled with
identical region code.
DVD VIDEOs labeled will also be
played back on this system.
If you try to play back any other region
code DVD VIDEO, the message
“Playback prohibited by area limitations.”
will appear on the TV screen. Depending
on the DVD VIDEO, no region code
indication may be labeled even though
playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by
area restrictions.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product
which mates DVD recorded material on
one side with digital audio material on
the other side. However, since the audio
material side does not conform to the
Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback
on this product is not guaranteed.
Notes on CD-R/-RW and
DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW
In some cases, CD-Rs/-RWs and
DVD-Rs/-RWs/+Rs/+RWs cannot be
played back on this system due to the
recording quality or physical condition
of the disc, or the characteristics of
the recording device and authoring
soware. e disc will not be played
back if it has not been correctly
nalized. For more information, see
the operating instructions for the
recording device.
Note that some playback functions
may not work with some DVD+Rs/
+RWs, even if they have been correctly
nalized. In this case, view the disc by
normal playback.
A disc created in Packet Write format
cannot be played back.
Note on playback operations of
DVD VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVD
VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs may be
intentionally set by soware producers.
Since this system play back DVD
VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs according to
the disc contents the soware producers
designed, some playback features may
not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVD
VIDEOs or VIDEO CDs.
Music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies
is product is designed to play back
discs that conform to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard. Recently, various music
discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies are marketed by some
record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that
do not conform to the CD standard and
may not be playable by this product.
Notes on Multi Session disc
If the rst session is recorded in
AUDIO CD or VIDEO CD format,
only the rst session will be played
back.
e system will recognize a Multi
Session disc as an AUDIO CD if there
is a session recorded in AUDIO CD
format on the disc. However, the
system will only play back the disc if
the rst session is recorded in AUDIO
CD format.
is system can play back Multi
Session discs when an MP3 audio
track, a JPEG image le or a DivX
video le is contained in the rst
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio
tracks, JPEG image les or DivX video
les recorded in later sessions can also
be played back.
With DATA CD or DATA DVD, the
system will only play back DivX video
les even if it contains MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image les.
