Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player
horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not
covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. 
Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by
mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the main plug from
the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fireplace) or
equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...).
Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions.
Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold
atmosphere.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours until

periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. 
This will prevent damage to the video product 
due to lightning and power-line surges.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Never push objects of any kind into this 
product through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the video
product.
ACCESSORIES
Do not place this video product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. 
The video product may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
•If an outside antenna is connected to the 
antenna terminal, be sure the antenna system 
is grounded so as to provide some protection   
against voltage surges and built-up static 
charges.
•In the U.S.A section 810 of the National   
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 
provides information with respect to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting 
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire 
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 
conductors location of antenna discharge unit, 
connection to grounding electrodes, and 
requirements for the grounding electrode. 
See the figure below.

FM antenna connection
1. Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75
COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.
2. Slowly move the antenna wire around until you
find a location where reception is good, then
fasten it to a wall or other rigid surface.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. 
Before attaching a 75    coaxial cable (with a standard
type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
AM(MW/LW)antenna connection
1. Connect the AM loop antenna supplied
to the AM and       terminals.
2. If reception is poor, connect an outdoor
single vinyl-covered wire to the AM
terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna
connected).

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.For safety, observe the following carefully.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and cause damage.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)
Snap the tabs on the loop into the
slots of the base to assemble the
AM loop antenna.

User instructions may vary depending on the type of disc. Read the instructions
carefully before use.

TV Broadcast System
• This device is designed to work with the NTSC video format. 
• For normal playback, the video format a DVD disc is recorded in must
coincide with your TVs video format. 
15
Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses
one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed
picture without visible scan lines. To enjoy a progressive scan video, connect a TV or
monitor that supports a progressive scan input to this device.
P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function
While the player is in the stop mode, hold the P.SCAN
button down for longer than 1 second.
• The selection switches back and forth between P.SCAN and I.SCAN
each time the button is held down for a minimum of 1 second. 
• The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the
selected mode in about a second. 
Press the Setup/P.
Adj button. (Play mode only)
• Each time theSetup/P.
Adj button is pressed, the following appears on the TV screen: 
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame. 
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. 
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object. 
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a full frame shutter
camera.
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
• This function only works with TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb).
•Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
P.Scan Adj (Progressive Scan Adjusting)
This function allows you to optimize the picture quality when it becomes poor due to screen distortion or
discs containing erroneous data.
Connecting your System to the Power Supply
The AC Cord must be plugged into an appropriate socket.
Before plugging your system into an AC outlet, you must check the voltage.
1. Plug the AC Cord on the rear of the system into an appropriate outlet.
