Read these operating instructions careful- ly before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings.

Install in accordance with the manu- facturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of

the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding- type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being

walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories

specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during light-

ning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power- supply cord or plug is damaged, liq- uid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the appara- tus has been exposed to rain or mois- ture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. To prevent damage Avoid the following; ≥Spraying flammable insecticides near the unit. ≥Pressing the LCD. ≥Touching the lens and other parts of the laser pickup. Do not use the unit in the following places; ≥Where the temperature is below 5 oC (41 oF) or above 35 oC (95 oF). (Operating the unit beyond this range can cause the protection circuitry to function and render the unit inoperable.) ≥Sandy places such as beaches. ≥On top of cushions, sofas, or hot equipment such as amplifiers. Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot and cause burns.7 RQT6077 Getting Started Batteries

1. ≥Do not use the battery pack with

equipment other than the speci- fied player.

1. ≥Do not use the player outside if it

is snowing or raining. (The bat- tery pack is not waterproof.)

Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other foreign matter on the terminals.

1. ≥Do not touch the plug terminals

(i and j) with metal objects.

1. ≥Do not disassemble, remodel,

heat or throw into fire.

Button-type battery (Lithium battery)

1. ≥Insert with poles aligned.

1. ≥Do not touch the terminals (i and

j) with metal objects.

1. ≥Do not disassemble, remodel,

heat or throw into fire.

1. ≥Keep out of reach of children.

If any electrolyte should come into contact with your hands or clothes, wash it off thoroughly with water. If any electrolyte should come into con- tact with your eyes, never rub the eyes. Rinse eyes thoroughly with water, and then consult a doctor.

3. Disposing of the batteries

1. Check and follow your local regula-

tions before disposal. Do not play your headphones or ear- phones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use. Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. You should use extreme caution or tem- porarily discontinue use in potentially haz- ardous situations. Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the vol- ume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equip- ment at a safe level BEFORE your hear- ing adapts. To establish a safe level: ≥Start your volume control at a low setting. ≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and with- out distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥Set the dial and leave it there. EST. 1924 CAUTION: The batteries used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.

Chapter This is the smallest division on DVDs and is roughly equivalent to a track. Dolby Digital This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these sig- nals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on the disc using this method. Dolby Pro Logic A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Digital Theater Systems. The signals are compressed at a low ratio to maintain sound quality. Dynamic range Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before dis- tortion occurs. Field One frame is made up of 2 fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. Frame Frames are the still pictures that go to- gether to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. Frame still and field still A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of 2 alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so pic- ture quality is lower. I/P/B MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDs, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture (I-picture) This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture) This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded pic- ture (B-picture) This picture is calculated by compar- ing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of infor- mation. Linear PCM (pulse code modulation) PCM is the usual digital method used for music CDs. DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a high- er sampling rate. Playback control (PBC) This method of controlling disc play is included on version 2.0 Video CDs. You are able to interact with the disc through menus. Title This is the largest division on DVDs. Track This is the smallest division on Video CDs and CDs and usually equates to a single song.
