strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loud-
speakers.
• Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as
a bookshelf or similar unit.
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to warm loca-
tion, or is placed in a very damp place, moisture may con-
dense on the lenses of the player. Should this occur, the

On handling the LCD screen
• The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technolo-
gy. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue, green) that continuously appear on the
LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
• Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could
cause a malfunction.
• Using the player in low temperature conditions may pro-
duce a residual image on the screen. This is not a mal-
function. When the player returns to normal temperature,
the screen returns to normal.
• A residual image may appear on the screen if the same
image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The resid-
ual image disappears in a while.
If you are going to leave the player for a long time, turn
off the power.
• The screen becomes warm during operation.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
On headphones
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud, and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.
Showing consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to
hear outside sounds and still be considerate to the people
around you.
On adjusting the volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with
very low level inputs or no audio signal. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak-level section is
played.
Road safety
Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while driving,
cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume
while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not install the monitor display where viewable by the
driver.
• Some states restrict the use of monitors and televisions in
vehicles. Where use is permitted, the units should not be
installed or operated so as to be viewable by the driver.

• Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz (MP3)
• Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps (MP3)
• The player cannot read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
• CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660.
• If you record MP3 files using software that cannot cre-
ate a file system (eg. Direct-CD), it is impossible to
playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use Easy-
CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system.
• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and
must incorporate an .mp3 extension.
• They should not contain special letters such as / ? * : “
< > l etc.
• The total number of files on the disc should be about
600.
This DVD player requires discs and recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically set to these standards. There are
many different types of recordable disc formats
(including CD-R containing MP3 files) and these
require certain pre-existing conditions (see above)
to ensure compatible playback.
A Multi-session recording is not ensured.
Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 files and
music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.

large — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less
than 2M pixels as 2760 x 2048 pixels.
• The total number of files and folders on the disc should
be about 600.
• Some discs may be incompatible due to a different
recording format or the condition of disc.

AUDIO SET UP
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the player’s AUDIO SET UP options according to
the type of audio system you use.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation possible, thanks to digital audio
technology. However, you may wish to compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference
between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones).
This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower
volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to
On for this effect.
NOTE:
• The DRC function works only during playback of Dolby
Digital recorded discs.
• The Level of Dynamic Range Compression may differ
depending on the DVD disc.
