Caution for AC mains lead (For United Kingdom)
For your safety please read the following text carefully This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is ap- proved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an ap- propriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below. Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be de- stroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if en- gaged in a live socket outlet.
IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or co- loured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
Under no circumstances should either of these wires be con- nected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug, marked with the letter E or Earth Symbol .
How to replace the Fuse There are two types of the supplied AC Mains Lead: and as shown below.
1 Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver.
2 Replace the fuse and fuse cover.

Connection Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed. Be sure that the colors of the connectors and plugs match up when connecting the cord. Read through the instructions for the equipment to be connected.
Connecting to an AV amplifier containing Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG 1/2 25.1ch audio decoder
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG audio are played, Dolby Digital bitstream or MPEG audio bitstream is output from the players OPTICAL digital audio output connector or COAXIAL digital audio output connector. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG audio decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. [An optical digital cable or coaxial audio cable (both optional) is required when an optional Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG audio decoder is used.]
Notes: During DVD play, the TV volume may be at a lower level
than during TV broadcasts, etc. If this is the case, adjust the volume to the desired level.
If the DVD player is connected to the TV through a video cassette recorder, the picture may not be played back nor- mally with some DVDs. If this is the case, do not connect the player via the VCR.

For your reference: Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression tech-
nique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Cor- poration. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
Lnear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While audio CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are re- corded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD mov- ies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital au- dio output connector: Do not connect an amplifier (with an optical/coaxi-
al digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG audio decoder.
Otherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause to such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
Video CDs and CDs can be played as they would nor- mally be played.

Connection
Connecting to an AV amplifier which does not contain Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG audio decoder
This DVD/VIDEO CD/CD player contains a Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG audio decoder. This enables the playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital Surround, MPEG audio or Linear PCM without the need for an optional decoder with Dolby Digital, MPEG audio or Linear PCM processing. When the DVD player is connected to an AV amplifier with 5.1ch input connectors, you can enjoy theater- quality audio right in your home when playing discs recorded in Dolby Digital Surround, MPEG audio or Linear PCM.
Notes: After connection is made, set the Speaker setting (such as
Yes/No and Large/Small) according to your speaker sys- tem. (See page 39.)
If the surround speakers or the center speaker cant be in- stalled at an equal distance to (or further away from) the front speakers from the listening position, then change the delay time setting at the Speaker setting on page 39, to compensate.
If the surround speakers are set to None at the Speaker setting (see page 39), the discs recorded in MPEG 2 audio or Linear PCM will be played back only in 2 channels even when the center speaker is connected as well as the front speakers.
DVDs recorded in Linear PCM/96 kHz sampling in which Center Speaker is contained will also be played back only in 2ch.

Remote control preparation
Battery installation
Insert the batteries while observing the correct () and () polarities as illustrated at right.
Service life of batteries The batteries normally last for about one year although this
depends on how often and for what operations the remote control is used.
If the remote control unit fails to work even when it is oper- ated near the player, replace the batteries.
Use size AA (R6P) batteries.
Remote control operation range
Point the remote control unit no more than about 7 m from the remote control sensor and within about 60 of the front of the unit. The operating distance may vary according to the bright-
ness of the room.
Notes: Do not point bright lights at the remote control sensor. Do not place objects between the remote control unit and
the remote control sensor. Do not use this remote control unit while simultaneously op-
erating the remote control unit of any other equipment.
Remote control signal sensor
Notes: Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries. Do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassem-
ble, heat or throw the batteries into the fire. Do not drop, step on or otherwise impact the remote
control unit. This may damage the parts or lead to malfunction.
Do not mix old and new batteries. If the remote control unit is not going to be used for a
long time, remove the batteries. Otherwise, electrolyte may leak which may lead not only to malfunctioning but also to burns if contact is made with the electro- lyte.
Wipe away any electrolyte leaking inside the remote control unit, and install new batteries.
If any electrolyte should come into contact with parts of your body, wash it off thoroughly with water.
