They will be helpful if you ever need to move your unit and may be required if you ever need to return it for service. Your unit is designed to be placed in a horizontal position and it is important to allow at least two inches of space behind your unit for adequate ventilation and cabling convenience. To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in front of heating vents, in direct sunlight, in excessively humid, dusty locations or near sources of strong magnetic fields. Connect your complementary components as illustrated in the following section. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN 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. This symbol 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. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. PRECAUTIONS Moisture condensation Moisture may form on the lens in the following conditions. Immediately after a heater has been turned on. In a steamy or very humid room. When this unit is moved from a cold place to a warm one. If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate. If there is noise interference on the TV while a broadcast is being received. Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference may appear on the TV screen while you are watching a TV broadcast and this unit is left on. This is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV. To watch a TV broadcast, turn off this unit. Do not transport this unit with discs left in it.

Do not stare into beam. CAUTION : USE OF ANY CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE. 2 READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING FOR U.S.A AND CANADA............................... 120 V FOR YOUR SAFETY Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed for operation on 120 V AC only. Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug. However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug. CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert. ATTENTION : Pour eviter les choc electriques, introduire la lame la plug large de la borne correspondante de la prise et poussre jusqu'au fond. FOR YOUR SAFETY The available power supply voltage differs according to country or region. However, this unit is equipped with an Automatic Voltage Selector. The power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used automatically meets the required voltage within the range of AC 100 - 240 V, without any manual voltage adjustment. To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

Green S-VIDEO IN Red Blue 1. Connecting AUDIO OUTs Connect these jacks to the AUDIO INs of DVD(, AUX, CD, etc.) of your amplifier or receiver. Note : · While playing a multi channel (5.1 channel) program source recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, etc., the 5 discrete channels(front L/R, center and surround L/R) are mixed down to these front and headphone channels. In this case, you can hear sound from the front speakers and headphones. 2. Connecting VIDEO OUTs The COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs of this unit are capable of outputting either conventional interlacing video signal or progressively scanned video signal(that can reproduce highdensity pictures with less flicker). · According to VIDEO OUTs, the excellence in picture quality is as follows: Progressive "COMPONENT" > Interlaced "COMPONENT" > "S-VIDEO" > "COMPOSITE" · When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect "Y/PY" to "Y", "Cb/Pb" to "Cb"(, "Pb", "B-Y"), "Cr/Pr" to "Cr"(, "Pr", "R-Y"). · Depending on the type of the COMPONENT VIDEO INs of TV, be sure to set the COMPONENT OUT to the corresponding setting.(Refer to "When selecting the COMPONENT OUT" on page 33 or "CHANGING THE COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL" on page 26.) · If there are both VIDEO INs and (MONITOR) VIDEO OUTs on your amplifier or receiver, connect these jacks to the corresponding VIDEO IN jacks of your amplifier or receiver and (MONITOR) VIDEO OUT jacks of that to the corresponding VIDEO IN jacks of the TV respectively. · If there are no VIDEO jacks, connect these jacks to the TV directly. (Refer to "CONNECTING TO TV WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO INS" on the next page.) · You can connect the COMPOSITE VIDEO 2 jack to an additional monitor TV. Notes: · When the COMPONENT OUT is set to PROGRESSIVE, the S-VIDEO and COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTs can not output the normal video signals. Therefore, it causes the picture to break up and shake. · When the progressive video signals are input into the nonprogressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of your TV, the picture may not be shown normally, too. Therefore, when the progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of TV are not connected to, you should set the COMPONENT OUT to INTERLACED. · Do not connect the unit to the TV through a VCR. Otherwise the picture may be disturbed due to the copy protection function. 3. Connecting DIGITAL OUTs You can enhance the sound quality by connecting these COAXIAL and OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTs to the corresponding DIGITAL INs of an amplifier, MD recorder, etc. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect to a DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG-II decoder or an amplifier with built-in decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. Notes : · When you connect the audio equipment with a digital input, before using, set the AUDIO SETUP correctly according to the connected audio equipment with a digital input. When the AUDIO SETUP is not set correctly, loud noise or no sound may be heard from the speakers, and it may be harmful to your ears and damages the speakers.(Refer to "SETTING THE AUDIO SETUP" on page 35.) · When you connect the MD or CD recorder with a digital input for digital recording, the LPCM SELECT should be set to LPCM 48K. If not, the digital recording do not perform properly.
