Conventions about this manual

• The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this Owner's Manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This Owner's Manual only covers basic disc operations.
• For some operations, the PROHIBIT icon “ ” may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this Operations Manual is not permitted for the current disc.

CAUTION:

• Turn off the power of all the equipment before making connections.
• Read instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.
• Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the connection cords with the power cord or speaker cables.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station. Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.

• Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna.

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals.

Press the lever, insert the end of the cord, then release the lever. Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly. Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is inserted in the jack and that no plastic insulation is preventing contact between the antenna wire and terminal.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.

• If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
  Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.
  The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

Caution:

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers.

Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 4 ohms or more.

The black speaker terminals are - (negative).

Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the - side of the cable. Connect this marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the black - terminal.

Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm or less of the outer insulation. (Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact with each other.) Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together:

Caution:

The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.

How to connect speakers:

1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.
2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it:

Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire.

1. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.

How to remove the disc

How to hold the disc

• Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
• Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
• Printable discs aren't recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
• Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.
• Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
• Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
• Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this sort can damage the unit:

• If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

TV Display

Because the shape of the television or monitor may not match the shape of the movie frame, you may need to change the way in which the image is displayed to avoid distortion on older televisions, which use a 4:3 aspect ratio; high-definition televisions use 16:9 (as do movies).

Note that 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.

4:3 PAN SCAN

This mode is used with 4:3 televisions. 4:3 images are displayed normally. When showing 16:9 programs, the full height of the screen is used, but the left and right part of the image are cut off.

Reload the disc with the label side UP.
Use a playable disc (see page 16).
If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.
A blank disc has been loaded. Load a prerecorded disc.
Check the region code of the DVD (see page 16).
If the unit is condensed, leave the unit for one or two hours with the power turned on (see page 45).

PROHIBIT icon "O" appears on the screen.

The operation is not permitted by the disc or the unit.
Note that during playback of a title part (cautions, software maker's logo, etc.), most operations are prohibited by the disc.
If another operation is still in process, wait a moment and try again.

Cannot access some setup menu items.

Although it is possible to enter the setup screen while playback is continuing (or in resume mode), not all menu functions will be available. Expand the number of available functions by pressing the STOP button twice (see page 32).

Scanning stops.

Scanning does not work within menus.

Sound skips.

Place the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock.
If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.
Don't use scratched, damaged or warped discs.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard.

Copy-prohibit material cannot be copied digitally.

No picture/distorted picture

Check the connection to the television (monitor)
Check the operating instructions for the television (monitor) to make sure that you have the right input selected, etc.
If you are using a HDMI connection, make sure it is configured correctly (see page 36).
When your television/monitor isn't compatible with Progressive scan, never set the TV MODE setting to "P-SCAN (Progressive scan)" (see page 35).

Picture noise.

If video from this system has to go through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-protection applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. Please connect the unit directly to your TV.

The image is distorted or monochromatic.

Make sure that the PAL-NTSC setting matches the television/monitor (see page 36).
Adjust the aspect ratio to correspond to the television/monitor in use (see page 33).

The aspect ratio of the screen cannot be changed.

The aspect ratio might be fixed by the disc.

Picture and sound don't match up.

With some TV sets there may be a short pause from when the video signal is received until the image appears. If the sound from the speaker does not match the TV image, minimize the volume level of the DR-H300 and output the sound from the TV.

Tuner

Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.

Tune in the station properly.
Rotate the FM or AM antenna for the best reception position.

Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.
Press the STEREO/MONO button.

If normal operation cannot be obtained, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it again. This resets the internal micro-computer which can be disturbed during electrical storms, power interruptions, et cetera.

If unplugging the power cord does not solve the probe, try the following procedure to reset the internal micro-computer.

1. Turn the unit on.
2. Press the STOP button while holding down the PLAY/PAUSE button.

1. Release the STOP button when "DR-H300V**" appears on the display.
2. Release the PLAY/PAUSE button.
3. Press the STOP button.

Beware of condensation

When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit turned on for one or two hours. Then the unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit.
