Follow steps 1 to 6 to hook up and adjust the settings of the player.

• Plug cords securely to prevent unwanted noise.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the components to be connected.
• You cannot connect this player to a TV that does not have a video input jack.
• Be sure to disconnect the mains lead of each component before connecting.

Check that you have the following items:
• Audio/Video cord (phono plug 

×  3 y phono plug ×  3) (1)

• Remote commander (remote) (1)
• R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by 
matching the 

3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When 

using the remote, point it at the remote sensor 

 on the player.

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or a lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a 

malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage 

from battery leakage and corrosion.
