Precautions
Introduction
Notes on handling
Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the recorder is turned on, unless it is in an
emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
When shipping the recorder, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the recorder for a long time.They will
leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the recorder may become
warm after a long time of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When not in use
For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder and turn
off the power.
Prolonged absence
Unplug the recorder from a wall outlet.
Notes on locating
Place the recorder on a level surface. Do not use it on
a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or
inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its
proper position and cause damage to the recorder.
Before placing the recorder, make sure that the
surface can stand the weight of the recorder. Never
place the recorder in a high location to avoid an
accidental fall of the recorder.
When you place this recorder near a TV, radio, or VTR,
the playback picture may become poor and the sound
may be distorted depending on the condition and
location of said equipment. In such an event, place the
recorder away as much as possible from the TV, radio,
or VTR.
To avoid damage to this product, never place or store
the unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas
subject to excessive dust, oily smoke, cigarette smoke
or vibration.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
recorder.
Notes on aerials
Image and sound quality depend very much on signal
reception.
Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this
event, consult your dealer, or purchase a commercially
available aerial booster. Refer to the booster’s
instruction manual for installation details.

moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
When you use the unit in a room where you just
turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind
from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air
conditioned room.
When you use the unit in a humid place.
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur in the situations above.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Connect the power cord of
the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, remove the
disc, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or
three hours, the unit will have warmed up and
evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.

Connecting to a TV equipped with component video inputs
If your TV has component video inputs, you can obtain pictures in better quality.
Component video outputs/inputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component
video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to
enjoy higher quality picture playback.
Actual labels for component video inputs may vary
depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex.Y, R-Y, R-B or
Y, C B, CR)
In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the
playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint
may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor
for optimum performance.
To switch the output signal (Progressive/Interlaced)
Press PROGRESSIVE on the remote
control.
The output signal alternates between
component progressive and component
interlaced.
•When “PSO”is displayed on the front panel
display, the output signal is progressive. When
“PSO”is not displayed, the output signal is
interlace.
Notes
•Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected TV as well.
•When you connect the recorder to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before any connections.
•If you place the recorder near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this event, place the recorder
away from the tuner and radio.
•The output sound of the recorder has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening
level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
•Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the recorder’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
•Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause
artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 625 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user
switch the connection to the “Standard Definition”output. If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this
model 625p DVD player, please contact our Customer Service Center.

Connections
•For connection to your TV, see pages 14 to 17.
•For details of output sound, see page 112 in “OPERATIONS GUIDE”.
Notes
•DO NOT connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack of the recorder to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver.
This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
COAXIAL jack of the recorder.
•Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack of the recorder to the “COAXIAL”input of a receiver or processor.
•Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.
•When you connect the recorder to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before any connections.
•The output sound of the recorder has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the audio amplifier’s volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
•Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the recorder’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
CAUTION
•When you are connecting (via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby
Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio out select”to “PCM”from the
on-screen displays ( page 40). Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.
•When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog
stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the AV OUT
AUDIO (L/R) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround®playback,
an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround®decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
COAXIAL jack of the recorder.
