Notes on the Discs You Can Use with this Unit

Discs You can Use

Your DVD Changer can play back the following discs:

• You cannot play back discs other than those listed above.
• You cannot play back discs such as CD-R, CD-RW, CD-

ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, etc., even though they may
be labelled with one of the above logos.

U.S. & Canadian models:
This DVD Changer uses the NTSC color system, and
cannot play back DVD videos recorded in any other color
system (PAL, SECAM, etc.).

Other area models:
This DVD Changer uses the PAL/NTSC color system, and
cannot play back DVD videos recorded in any other color
system (SECAM, etc.).

• Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing

irregularly shaped discs may damage the DVD Changer’s
internal mechanism.

• Do not use discs that contain adhesive tape or a disc label

(on rental discs). Otherwise, you may not be able to eject
the discs, or the DVD Changer may become inoperative.

Handling Discs

• Never touch the playback side (the “blank” side) of the

disc.

• Never attach paper or tape to discs.

Cleaning Discs

• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause a deterioration of

the picture and sound quality. Wipe the disc from the center
outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the discs clean.

• Stubborn dust or dirt can be removed by wiping the disc

lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finishing
with a dry cloth.

• Never use solvents such as thinner, benzine, commer-

cially available cleaners, or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs.
They may damage the disc.

Storing Discs

• Do not store discs in places subject to direct sunlight or

near heat sources.

• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust,

such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.

• Store discs vertically in their case. Stacking or placing objects

on unprotected discs may cause warping and scratches.

About VIDEO CDs

Your DVD Changer can play back version 1.1 and 2.0 Video
CDs. Version 2.0 discs support PBC functionality. (PBC is
the abbreviation of Playback Control.)
• VIDEO CDs not equipped with PBC functionality (Version 1.1)

Sound and pictures are played back in the same way as
an audio CD.

• VIDEO CDs equipped with PBC functionality (Version 2.0)

In addition to the functions available for version 1.1 Video
CDs, you can use interactive software and search functions.
These are accessible via a menu displayed on the TV screen
(Menu Playback). However, not all functions described in this
Instruction Manual are supported by all Video CDs.
