•
• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when
removing them from their cases.
• Do not bend discs.
• Do not heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the center hole.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball-
point pen or a pencil.
• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc
is moved suddenly from a cold place to a warm one.
Do not use a hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.
Cautions on Storing Discs
• Always eject discs after playing them.
• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches and warping.
• Do not put discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
of time
2. Humid or dusty places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.
Cautions on Loading Discs
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on
top of another may result in damage or scratch the
discs.
• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without
using an adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded,
it may slip out of the guide and block the disc tray.
• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when
the disc tray is closing.
• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.
• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that
have been fixed with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of
cellophane tape or glue used to attach the label is
exposed, or discs with traces of tape or labels that
have been peeled off. Such discs may get stuck
inside the player, resulting in damage.

order of quality of picture from the best possible first. Additional information on each connection type is
provided below:

using a component video cable, and press the "PROGRESSIVE SCAN" button on the front panel so that
"P.SCAN" lights on the display. This results in a high quality picture with little flickering.

Connecting the RGB SCART output(AV CONNECTOR) using an RGB-ready SCART cable, or connecting the
COMPONENT VIDEO using a component video cable is next to it.
S-VIDEO is your third choice.
Composite video output (SCART-COMPOSITE or VIDEO OUT) would be your last choice.
• For better picture quality, do not connect more than one video cable.
• Please connect this unit to a TV directly. If the TV is connected through a video cassette recorder, playback
of a copy protected DVD disc could result in distorted picture quality.
