PRECAUTIONS

Notes on handling

• Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet while the player is turned on, unless it is in an

emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.

• When shipping the player, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum

protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products

in contact with the player for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the player may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

When not in use

• For usual absence

Be sure to remove the disc from the player and turn off the power.

• Prolonged absence

Unplug the player from a wall outlet. (This will stop the clock. Display “SETUP MENU” by pressing SETUP,

and reset the clock.)

Notes on locating

• Place the player on a level surface. Do not use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table

or inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its proper position and cause damage to the player.

Before placing the player, make sure that the surface can stand the weight of the player. Never place

the player in a high location to avoid damage to the product or person by an accidental fall of the player.

• When you place this player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the

sound may be distorted depending on the condition and location of said equipment. In such an event,

place the player as far away as practical from the TV, radio, or VCR.

• To avoid damage to this product, never place or store the unit in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas

subject to excessive dust, oily smoke, cigarette smoke or vibration.

About the volume level

The volume level of some commercial HD DVD and DVD discs may seem lower than that of audio CDs,

other software, etc. If you turn up the volume of the TV or amplifier to play such discs, be sure to turn it

back down after playback finishes.

About software

Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of HD DVD, DVD and CD software and/

or the manufacture of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs, Manufacturer cannot assure that this player will

successfully play every disc bearing the HD DVD, DVD or CD logos. If you happen to experience any

difficulty playing an HD DVD, DVD or CD disc on this player, please contact Customer Service.

Some differences

The HD DVD player operates more like a computer and differently than a standard DVD player. In addition

to containing a microprocessor, it contains an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and an

HD DVD drive. The operating system includes software that is transferred to the RAM when the machine

is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Therefore, when you turn the

HD DVD player on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be

performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. Please take these factors into consideration

as you use the HD DVD player.

Why HDMI connection is most recommended?

HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs

that prohibit the output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p, 1080i or up-converted

480i or 480p) from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc

you are playing, you must use the HDMI OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.

Connecting to a TV

Via HDMI Input

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital

video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t need to be connected separately

to a device.

Notes:

• Refer to the owner’s manual to the connected

TV as well.

• When the HDMI connection is not verified,

an error message appears on the front panel

display. In this case, disconnect the HDMI

cable then connect it again, or turn off the

connected HDMI device then turn it on.

• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination,

video selector or AV amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.

• Be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any

connections.

SETUP

• HDMI output is digital only. DVI analog is not supported.

• HDMI is an evolving technology, so some devices may not operate properly with this player.

• To get the most possible benefit from Dolby Digital Plus, you should connect your HD DVD player to

your AV receiver using its HDMI input. If your AV receiver has this type of input, make sure it is

connected to your HD DVD player and that the input is set to use audio from HDMI (and not the SPDIF

coaxial or optical input). If your AV receiver does not have an HDMI input, then the next best choice is

to use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) input on your AV receiver.

• If you use the SPDIF optical output or analog outputs to connect your audio system and have the

“Digital Out HDMI” set to “Auto” or “PCM”, the audio output level from these jacks will be reduced when

listening to a multi-channel disc. To restore the audio output level, set “Digital Out HDMI” to “Downmixed

PCM”.

Via Component Video Input

Some discs may be down converted or require HDMI connection.

Using a component video cable (not supplied), connect the Y VIDEO OUT jack (green plug) on your unit

to the Y VIDEO IN jack on your TV, the PB VIDEO OUT jack (blue plug) on your unit to the PB VIDEO IN

jack on your TV and the PR VIDEO OUT jack (red plug) on your unit to the PR VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

To use the optical digital output, use an

optical cable to connect this jack to an

optical audio input on a device capable of

processing a DTS bitstream or PCM audio

(see “Connecting to an Audio System”).

To use the analog sound output, connect

these ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to

audio input jacks on your TV using the audio

cable.

RCA Audio/Video Cable

Use the Audio/Video cable (not supplied).

Connect the VIDEO OUT and left/right AUDIO

OUT jacks on the unit to the VIDEO IN and left/

SETUP

Note:

This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However,

some discs may restrict output of video on the component video ports when viewing high definition

content or up-converted DVD content. The resolution on the HDMI output will be the same as the

resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change

automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI

output and component output, the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI output

auto-adjusts.

You can listen to down-converted Dolby Digital

Plus and Dolby TrueHD as well as Dolby

Digital and DTS using a receiver with Dolby

Digital and DTS decoding capabilities and an

optical digital input.

Connecting to an Audio System

Via Optical Digital Output

To use the optical digital output, use an optical

cable to connect this jack to an optical audio

input on a device capable of processing a DTS

bitstream or PCM audio.

Via Analog Audio Output
