About This Manual
• The types of functions and operations that can be used for a par-
ticular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some
cases, these functions and operations may differ from the
descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instruc-
tions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc
operations.
• For some operations, the
Ø
icon may appear on the screen. This
indicates that the operation described in this manual is not
available on the disc in the player.
• On-screen and front-panel display illustrations in this manual are
purely for the purposes of explanation. The actual displays may
differ slightly from these illustrations.
Disc Handling Precautions
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch
the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar
substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using
the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot
air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can
be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other writing
utensils.
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
Disc Cleaning Precautions

from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Disc Installing Precautions
• Do not install more than one disc on the disc tray.
• Do not place the disc on the tray upside down.
• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed and
centered properly.
Regional Coding
DVD players and discs are designed with regional restrictions
which dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the
region number on the disc you want to play does not match the
region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the
disc. The message
REGIONER Rwill appear in the front-panel
display. The region code of this player is indicated on the rear
panel and on the external packaging.
