11. Polarization - If the appliance is provided with a polarized plug having
one blade wider than the other, please read the following information:
The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The polarized plug will
only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
try reversing it. If there is still trouble, the user should seek the services
of a qualified electrician. Under no circumstances should the user
attempt to defeat the polarization of the plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords (mains leads) should

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
19. Outdoor Antenna (Aerial) Grounding - If an outside antenna (aerial)
is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna (aerial) system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna- (aerial-) discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna- (aerial-) discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Precautions
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 (mains
lead) of the unit to the wall outlet (the mains), 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 (the mains) and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
1. Regional Restriction Codes (Region Number)
Regional restriction codes are built into DVD players and DVD
videos for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD
Receiver does not match one of the regional codes on the DVD
video, playback is not possible.
The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD
Receiver. (e.g. 3 for Region 3)
2. About This Manual
This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the DVD
Receiver. Some DVD videos do not support the full potential of the
DVD technology. Your DVD 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 Receiver or
the disc.
3. Warranty Claim
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of the unit. In
case of warranty claim, please report this number.

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the
area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage
(AC220-230V 50/60Hz or AC120V 60Hz) written on the rear panel.
7.
Do not touch the unit with wet hands
Do not handle the unit or power cord (mains lead) when your hands
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take
the unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
8. 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.
9. 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.
