IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Explanation of Graphical Symbols
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
1
Read Instructions — All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the product is operated.
2
Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.
3
Heed Warnings — All warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4
Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
5
Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before

cloth for cleaning.
6
Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7
Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water — for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub;
in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8
Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the product.
Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer.
9
A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the product and cart combination
to overturn.
10
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.
11
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. For products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
12
Grounding or Polarization — This product may be equipped with a
polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power 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.
13
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

14
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.
15
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.

Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17
Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
20

Preparation
• There are various ways to connect the player, depending
on the equipment you wish to use. The following
drawings illustrate some possible configurations.
• Please refer to manuals for other equipment as necessary
to ensure that you make the correct connections.
• Do not connect the player via your VCR. The video
quality could be distorted by the copy protection system.
• Do not connect the player’s audio output jack to the
phono input jack on your audio system.
Digital audio connections
This unit features COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital output
jacks. Connect one or both of them to digital input jacks
of an AV receiver. You can also enjoy high-quality stereo
sound at sampling frequencies of 88.2 and 96 kHz,
assuming the material is not copy-protected and the
equipment you connect is compatible with these signals.
Notes:
– If the audio format of the digital output does not match
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce
a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all. Make sure
to select the appropriate audio format on the disc menu
screen. Pressing AUDIO once or more may change not
only the audio language but also the audio format. The
selected format name will be displayed for several
seconds in the status window.
– SA-CD audio signal is not output from DIGITAL OUT
jacks.
– If you wish to enjoy Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG you
must connect this unit to the AV receiver that support
those.
Analog audio (6CH DISCRETE)
connection
Connect a receiver with multi-channel audio input
terminals to enjoy surround sound with no sampling
frequency limitation. We recommend this connection to
obtain maximum performance of SA-CD discs and DVD-
Audio multi-channel sound.
Analog audio (MIXED 2CH)
connection
Use the audio cable supplied with the player to connect
AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right) jacks of the player to
the corresponding input jacks on your audio equipment,
such as an AV receiver.

recommend to change the TV screen’s aspect ratio
settings for progressive signals if you wish to watch the
original aspect ratio images without distortion. You can
also change the aspect ratio settings in the [4:3 Aspect]
parameter in the On-screen menu.
– Some TVs and projectors are not compatible with this
unit. If you notice picture distortion when outputting the
progressive signals, switch the SCAN MODE selector to
INTERLACE.
