IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the
player. Should this occur, the system will notoperate
properly. Remove the disc and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it,
and always close the disc tray.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a
clean, dry or slightly damp cloth.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,
always pull directly on the plug, never yank on the
cord.
Depending on the electromagnetic waves used by
a television broadcast, if a TV is turned on near
this unit while it is also on, lines might appear on
the TV screen. Neither this unit nor the TV are
malfunctioning. If you see such lines, keep this unit
well away from the TV set.
 The mains plug is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Do not move the unit during playback
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do
NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so
may damage the disc or the unit.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby and the double-D symbol are trademarks of
Dolby Laboratories.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally
‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when
using your headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods
of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing
adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily discontinue
use in potentially hazardous situations. Do not use
headphones while operating a motorized vehicle,
cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Keep the children away from top “PUSH” panel
operation to avoid his finger being stuck in the panel
gap.
This apparatus includes this label:
When moving this unit
When changing places of installation or packing the
unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return
the disc tray to its closed position in the player. Then,
press the power switch to turn the power off, and
disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the
disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.
Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can, impair
your hearing. This product can produce sounds
in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for
a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for
those that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
‘comfort level’ adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
To guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.

General Setup Page
TV DISPLAY
The shape of the television or monitor may not match
the shape of the movie frame. To avoid distortion on
older televisions, you may need to change the way
in which the image is displayed. Televisions use a
4:3 aspect ratio; high-definition televisions use 16:9
aspect ratio (as do movies).
Note:
You may need to read your television’s manual in
conjunction with this section in order to achieve the
best results. Some discs do not allow the aspect ratio
to be changed and you will therefore have to change
the aspect ratio on the TV.
Make this setting while playback is stopped; you cannot
do this while playing back a disc.
