Introduction  
G
In cabinet, allow about 2.5cm (1 inch) of free  
space all around the player for adequate  
ventilation.  
Do not expose your player to extreme of  
temperature or humidity.  
If the DVD player is brought directly from a cold  
to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp  
room, moisture may condense on the lens of the  
disc unit inside the DVD player. Should this occur,  
the DVD player would not operate normally.  
Leave the power on for about one hour with no  
disc in the DVD player until normal playback is  
possible.  
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-  
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or  
lubricated.  
When the DVD player is switched to  
Standby mode, it is still consuming some  
power. To disconnect the system from  
the power supply completely, remove the  
AC power plug from the wall socket.

Equipment  
G

A digital component with a built-in MPEG 2 or  
Dolby Digitaldecoder allows you to enjoy the  
surround sound while producing the effect of  
being in a movie theater or a concert hall.  
The player outputs the surround sound signals  
from the DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL or  
OPTICAL connectors.  
Cinemalink interconnection plug & playback will  
enable the AV system to recognise the users  
intention and automatically switch the necessary  
controls or input source accordingly.This will  
reduce the necessity of having multiple control  
inputs for all AV equipments (eg.TV and  
Amplifier).  
If your receiver has a MPEG 2 or Dolby  
Digitaldecoder,
