GENERAL INFORMATION

Care and handling of compact discs
How to handle CDs
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the disc (reflective silver side –– the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc may cause the CD player to malfunction. Care of the label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on top of another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents. CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the Player.
Which compact discs can be used?
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The Video CD Player can play the following compact discs:

• Video CD
  for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.

• Video CD with Playback Control function
  featuring menu-type operation and super-fine still pictures for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.
  PlayBack Control

• CD Graphics (CD-G)
  for audio and video (still picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.

• Digital Audio CD
  including single discs
  for audio reproduction.

CDs you can’t play back
Do not play back CD-ROMs, DVDs, or CD-is on this equipment. Doing so may generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
Using the remote control
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are installed properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the display window of the player and press a button. The operating range of the remote control is up to about seven meters in front of the player and within about 30 degrees to each side –– with nothing between the remote control and the player interrupting the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try again. If it still does not function, check the batteries.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Basic connections

The Video CD Player must be connected directly to a television set or an amplifier that is connected to a television or monitor. The television set or the amplifier must have audio input jacks for right and left channels and a video input jack.
Select a level, dry location free of dust and vibration, having a temperature maintained between 5 and 35°C (41 and 95°F).
Connecting the player to a TV or amplifier using the Audio Video cord
First connect the Audio Video cord — before connecting the AC power cord.
Firmly insert the yellow pin plug of the Audio Video cord in the yellow VIDEO OUT jack on the rear panel of the player; the red pin plug in the red AUDIO OUT (RIGHT) jack; and the white pin plug in the white AUDIO OUT (LEFT) jack. (The RIGHT and LEFT output jacks are for the right and left audio channels.)
Then make sure that the television, amplifier or receiver is turned off, disconnect the AC power cord, and firmly insert the pin plugs at the other end of the Audio Video cord into the matching video and audio INPUT jacks. Video out select
Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to NTSC, PAL, or PAL AUTO mode according to your television system.
NTSC ……………….. for NTSC exclusive TV
PAL ………………….. for PAL exclusive TV
PAL AUTO ………… for Multisystem TV
PAL AUTO detects the formula of the disc (NTSC/ PAL) automatically and plays the image on the screen correctly.
Notes

• When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a PAL exclusive TV, the image may be distorted. If the signal doesn’t synchronize, change the mode to “PAL”.
• Select the mode before you play the disc. If you change the mode during play, images may get distorted. In this situation stop the player and reset the mode.
• When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a Multi system TV, the image may blink for a moment. This symptom is caused by the Player detecting the formula of the disc, not by a malfunction of the Player.

Connecting the power cord
IMPORTANT (not applicable for China)
Check the setting of the * LINE VOLTS switch on the rear panel of the player.
Change the setting if the switch is not set for the main voltage supplied to your home.
After the audio-video connectors had been connected, insert the female end of the power cord firmly into the AC POWER CORD socket located on the rear panel of the player. Then insert the male end of the power cord into the wall outlet.
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY indicator on the left-hand side of the player’s front panel comes on. [See “overview of Controls” for a description of the controls on the player.]

The battery compartment is located on the back of the remote control.

1. Insert a finger in the recess under the battery compartment cover, and pull off the cover.
2. Place the two accessory R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F) batteries in the remote control according to the polarity markings (“+” and “–”) inside the compartment and on the batteries.
3. Insert the two tabs of the cover in their respective slots, and snap the cover in place.

The batteries last about one year with normal use. If function of the remote control become erratic, replace the batteries.
Precautions for the safe use of batteries

• Remove batteries from the remote control if it is not going to be used for a long period of time.
• Remove dead batteries and dispose of them properly.

• High-resolution still image display
  You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.

Example of playback using the Playback Control function A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a video CD disc with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.

Locking a disc
The Read-Protect function restricts viewing of a disc. Only people who know the code can unlock the disc. You can lock only Video CDs (up to a maximum of 10 discs).
Notes

• When you lock a disc using the Read-Protect function, your Player recognizes the number of tracks and the recorded time on that disc. If you try to play another disc which has exactly the same number of tracks and the same recorded time, the Player may mistakenly assume that it is the locked disc.
• You cannot lock a disc while it is playing, or when the VCD light is blinking (i.e., immediately after turning on the player or shutting a disc tray). Stop the disc, then lock it.
•  All Read-Protect functions are performed using buttons on the Player, not on the remote control.

1. Play the disc for a moment, then press the Stop button.
2. Hold down the NEXT button on the Player for at least three seconds. The track and time numbers are no longer displayed.
3. Press the Number key “8” four times. The Display window indicates “Loc.”
