• If the remote control does not operate within a close proximity of the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less than a year has passed.
• The included batteries serve only for verifying operation. Replace them with new batteries as soon as possible.
• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the proper direction, following the and marks in the remote control's battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

• Do not mix a new battery with an old one.
• Do not mix two different types of batteries such as alkaline and manganese.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.

- Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote control for a long period of time.

- If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

Using a Remote Control

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control:
- Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and infrared sensor window on the unit.
- Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on infrared sensor window of the unit.

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a BD/DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the unit and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.

* HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface

Note

• When using HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI jack, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI jack.
• The audio signals from the HDMI Jack (Including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (e.g., projectors). In connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output jack.
