On handing the LCD screen
The LCD is manufactured using high precision technology.
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 from the player for a long time,
turn off power.
The screen becomes warm during operation. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a malfunction.
On headphones
Preventing hearing damaged
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discon-
tinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to
hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people
around you.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. 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.

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D
Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-
channel audio playback from two conventional stereo
speakers instead of the five or more speakers nor-
mally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a
home theater. This feature works with DVD discs
encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital
audio tracks.

some DVD discs, such as those recorded with a
mono audio soundtrack.

effects when using this 3D surround effect.
For best 3D Surround effect using only two speak-
ers, it is recommended that the two speakers be
positioned approximately 2 m to 2.5 m apart, and
that the listening position be 2 m to 2.5 m away
from the speakers.
3D Surround Effect works only when you
connect a PHONES connector or an AUDIO

About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)
With the DVD format you have the opportunity to
hear a programs soundtrack in the most accurate
and realistic presentation possible, thanks to the use
of digital audio technology. However, in certain
instances you may wish to slightly compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference
between the loudest sounds and the
quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a
lower volume without losing dialogue intelligibility.
NOTES:
The DRC function works only during playback of
Dolby Digital recorded discs.
The level of Dynamic Range Compression may dif-
fer depending on the DVD disc.
When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio
equipment (such as an amplifier) to the DVD video
player.
