    To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not 
    expose the unit to rain or moisture.
    Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such 
    as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
    To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the 
    apparatus with news papers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. 
    And don’t place lighted candles on the apparatus.
    To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects 
    filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
    Don’t throw away the battery with 
    general house waste, dispose of it 
    correctly as chemical waste.
    This appliance is 
    classified as a CLASS 1 
    LASER product. This 
    marking is located on the 
    rear of the unit.
    Precautions
    Safety
     If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and 
    have it checked by qualified personnel before 
    operating it any further.
     The unit is not disconnected from the AC power 
    source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall 
    outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been turned 
    off.
     Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not 
    intend to use it for an extended period of time. To 
    disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by 
    the cord.
    Installing
     Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal 
    heat buildup.
     Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) 
    or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block 
    the ventilation slots.
     Do not install the unit near heat sources such as 
    radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct 
    sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or 
    shock.
     Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is 
    designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
     Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with 
    strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large 
    loudspeakers. Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
     If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm 
    location, moisture may condense inside the DVD 
    Home Theatre System and cause damage to the 
    lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you 
    move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 
    30 minutes before operating the unit.

    Music discs encoded with 
    copyright protection 
    technologies
    This product is designed to play back discs that 
    conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
    Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright 
    protection technologies are marketed by some record 
    companies. Please be aware that among those discs, 
    there are some that do not conform to the CD standard 
    and may not be playable by this product.
    Note on DualDisc
    A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates 
    DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio 
    material on the other side.
    However, since the audio material side does not 
    conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback 
    on this product is not guaranteed.
    Note on PBC (Playback 
    Control) (VIDEO CDs)
    This system conforms to Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 2.0 of 
    VIDEO CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds 
    of playback depending on the disc type.
    About Multi Session CD
     This system can play Multi Session CDs when 
    an MP3 audio track is contained in the first 
    session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks 
    recorded in later sessions can also be played 
    back.
     This system can play Multi Session CDs when 
    a JPEG image file is contained in the first 
    session. Any subsequent JPEG image files 
    recorded in later sessions can also be played 
    back. 
     If audio tracks and images in music CD format 
    or video CD format are recorded in the first 
    session, only the first session will be played 
    back.

    About the Super Audio CD
    Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio 
    disc standard where music is recorded in the 
    DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format 
    (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM 
    format). The DSD format, using a sampling 
    frequency 64 times higher than that of a 
    conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, 
    achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide 
    dynamic range across the audible frequency 
    range, and so provides music reproduction 
    extremely faithful to the original sound.
    Types of Super Audio CDs
    There are two types of discs, depending on the 
    Super Audio CD layer and CD layer 
    combination.
     Super Audio CD layer: A high-density 
    signal layer for Super Audio CD
    CD layer*
    1: A layer that is readable by a 
    conventional CD player
    A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2 
    channel area or the multi-channel area.
     2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel 
    stereo tracks are recorded
     Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-
    channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are 
    recorded
    *1 You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD 
    player.
    *2 Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary 
    to turn the disc over.
    *3 To select a layer, see “Selecting a Playback Area for 
    a Super Audio CD” (page 39).
    *4 To select an area, see “Selecting a Playback Area for 
    a Super Audio CD” (page 39). 
    Region code
    Your system has a region code printed on the 
    back of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled 
    with the same region code.
    DVD VIDEOs labeled   will also play on this 
    system.
    If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the 
    message [Playback prohibited by area 
    limitations.] will appear on the TV screen. 
    Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code 
    indication may be given even though playing the 
    DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
    Note on playback operations 
    of DVDs and VIDEO CDs
    Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO 
    CDs may be intentionally set by software 
    producers. Since this system plays DVDs and 
    VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the 
    software producers designed, some playback 
    features may not be available. Also, refer to the 
    instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO 
    CDs.
