CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

Conventions about This Manual
<
Instructions in this manual describe the controls on the
remote control. You can also use the buttons on the front
panel if they have the same or similar names as those on the

<
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 (
or
) may
appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation
described in this Operations Manual is not permitted for the
current disc.
<
The drawings about the TV screen and front panel display
used in this Operations Manual are purely for the purposes of
explanation. The actual displays may differ slightly from what
are shown here.
Read this before operation
<
As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
<
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding
this matter, consult an electrician.
<
Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture.
<
Do not place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.
<
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into

cover feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes
them to be firm and secure, and the design effectively damps
and reduces vibration.
<
Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit, on account
of its weight. Get someone to help you if necessary.
<
To protect floors, etc. you may stick the felt supplied with the
unit to the bottom of the cover feet.
