Precautions
7. Location of the unit
Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all
sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio
rack. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and
malfunction.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units
as the unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten
the life of the pickup.
Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected
by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid
placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.
Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may
malfunction.
When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the
TV, radio, or VCR.
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels
and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen
a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water,
wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry
immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the
finish or remove the panel lettering.
9. Notes on Handling
When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. 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
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
The top and rear panels of the unit
may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
unit occasionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical
pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down,
the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture,
we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. For details,
contact your nearest dealer.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
What is moisture condensation?
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
Moisture condensation occurs in 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.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the
power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few 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.
1.This unit is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT and employs

personnel.
1. Regional Restriction Codes (Region Number)
Regional restriction codes are built into DVD Changer
Receivers and DVD-video media for each sales region. If
the regional code of the DVD Changer Receiver does not
match one of the regional codes on the DVD-video media,
playback is not possible.
The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the
DVD Changer Receiver. (e.g.
1
for Region 1)
2. About This Manual
This manual explains the basic procedures for operating
the DVD Changer Receiver. Some DVD-video discs do not
support the full potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD
Changer Receiver may therefore not respond to all
operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on discs.
A
mark may appear on the TV screen during operation.
It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD
Changer Receiver or the disc.

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal
use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.
