IMPORTANT
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of suffi-
cient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock
to persons.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO
USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING
TO
QUALIFIED
SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert the user to the presence of im-
portant operating and maintenance (servicing) in-
structions in the literature accompanying the appli-
ance.
VENTILATION -- Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been
adhered to.
POWER SOURCES -- This product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your product dealer or local
power company.
LOCATION ­ The appliance should be installed in
a stable location.
NONUSE PERIODS ­ The power cord of the
appliance should be unplugged from the outlet
when left unused for a long period of time.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
·
If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
·
If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION -- Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING -- For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES -- An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

to its normal operation.
·
If the product has been dropped or damaged
in any way.
·
When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance -- this indicates a need for

Barcode/Command stack
This player, when segment commands and barcodes that
control are input in advance, enables images to be
switched and played back one after the other. This is
very convenient when used in demonstrations, presen-
tations, etc. Furthermore, the RS-232C connection al-
lows uploading/downloading of the set content.
(See page 53)
÷ Uploading/downloading can be easily performed when
dedicated applications are being used.
9.
Interface with external signals
(RS-232C, external option switch)
The device is fitted with an RS-232C connection so that
commands can be given to support DVD, Video CD and
CD. The control protocol is, for the most part, compat-
ible with that of LD (Laser Disc) equipment, and LD sig-
nals can also be easily transferred.
Other than the RS-232C interface connector, a terminal
for the external option switch is provided. By simply con-
necting a switch to this terminal, operation is possible for
DVD-VIDEO menu selection and barcode/command
stack calls as well as operation of the remote control
unit.
÷ Consult the User's Manual for detailed information re-
garding this terminal and RS-232C control commands.
(See your dealer for more information about the User's
manual.)

Graphics and characters recorded in advance at desired
positions on the DVD picture screen will appear during
playback.
This function enables demonstrations and presentations
to be more effectively performed. (See page 71)
11. Laser barcode compatibility
The laser barcode system previously used with LD (La-
ser Disc) players has been extended unchanged to DVD
applications. Existing barcode scanners and barcode
readers can be used. (See page 59)
12. Video Text Retrieval
With this function, you can use the mouse to click on
buttons shown on-screen during playback for display of
indications of the text file corresponding to the selected
button.This is possible only with Video Text Retrieval com-
patible discs. (See page 77)
13. External Synchronizing Function
