If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13) Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying par-

ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

14) Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

15) Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18) Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

20) Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

21) Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

22) Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Disc Types

[DVD]

Data on a DVD is divided into sections called "titles", and then into subsections called "chapters", each of which is given a title or chapter number. Playback conditions are preset on some DVD video discs, and these playback conditions take priority over user operations on this player. If a function you selected do not run as desired, refer to the manual accompanying the disc.

Example Title 1 Title 2 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4

[Audio CD]

Data on an audio CD is divided into sections called "tracks", each of which is given a track number.

Example Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6

[MP3]

Data on a MP3 is divided into sections called "groups", and then into subsections called "tracks", each of which is given a group or track number.

Example Group 1 Group 2 Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 1 Track 2

Selecting Progressive Scan (480p or Interlaced 480i) Playback

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Component Video Output jacks of the DVD player and set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR on the back of the DVD player to PROGRESSIVE. Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR to INTERLACE.
• Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

What is Progressive Scanning?

• Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution than that of traditional (480i) television signals.
• When PROGRESSIVE is selected, no video signal will be output from the VIDEO OUT, or S-VIDEO OUT jack.

NOTES:

- The audio source on a disc in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.

- Set Dolby Digital to DPCM and DTS to OFF for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.(See page 14 to set ON for Dolby Digital)

Connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder

By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard such as can be heard in movie theaters.

Use audio coaxial digital cables (commercially available) for the audio connections.

NOTE:

- If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Component Video Output jacks of the DVD player, and make sure INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR is set to PROGRESSIVE.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked "TO TV") to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked "ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE

• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV's antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.
