Note
≥Close the LCD to conserve power when you have connected this unit to another monitor and speak-
ers. The LCD and speakers are off while the LCD is closed.
≥Ensure “Dolby Digital” and “MPEG” are set to “PCM”, and “DTS Digital Surround” is set to “Off” (➡
page 39) if you connect this unit to a digital amplifier without a decoder. If the signals are output as bit-
stream, “noise” will be output which can cause harm to your ears and speakers and the signal will not
be correctly recorded onto MDs.
Preparations

Ensure that this unit and other equipment to be connected are set to the standby mode or are off, and
disconnect the AC mains lead, before commencing connection.
≥Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.
Selecting the type of disc for the type of
connected TV
Video is recorded onto DVDs and Video CDs using either PAL or NTSC. Read your tele-
vision’s manual and refer to this table to select suitable discs.
Note
When an NTSC DVD/Video CD is played, the picture may roll up or down on some tele-
visions; adjust this using the vertical hold control on the television. Televisions not equipped
with a vertical hold control cannot correct this condition. The playback picture may shrink
vertically and black bars may appear both on the top and bottom of the screen, or the pic-
ture may be in black and white. This does not indicate a malfunction.
