sounds abnormal in this case.
• DVD Video Disc
The digital connection illustrated above shows connection to audio equipment
that is not equipped with a decoder. Because of this, it cannot produce 5.1
channel sound when playing a DVD whose audio track is recorded in Dolby
Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio. To play
the audio on such a DVD, you must configure a digital connection with an audio
processor or amplifier equipped with a decoder for the type of audio on the
DVD you are attempting to play. (See page 34.) If you do not have an audio
processor or amplifier equipped with the proper decoder, use a 2-channel
analogue (Down Mix) connection. (See pages 32 and 58.) Note that discs
recorded with Linear PCM audio should play normally using the digital
connection illustrated above.

Parental level
Certain discs come preset with country codes and parental level settings that
are defined for particular countries. Discs equipped with the parental lock
function are rated according to their content. The rated content allowed by a
parental lock level and the way a DVD can be controlled may vary from disc to
disc. Some discs, for example, may let you edit out violent scenes and replace
them with scenes more suitable for viewing by children. You can also use the
parental lock to disable playback of the DVD entirely.
This Player supports the following parental level settings.
PARENTAL LEVEL .... Defines the parental level, which controls the types of
scenes that are played back from a disc.
CODE ....................... Allows selection of a country code available on a disc.
• You can use the parental lock function only with DVDs that are equipped with the
parental lock feature.
• The parental level depends on countries. If you do not set the country code
correctly, it fails to work correctly.
Player parental level settings
Level 1: for general viewing (highly restricted level that can be viewed by
anyone. Sensational scenes are cut or replaced with other scenes.) → Level 8:
for adults only (a level to be viewed by adults only. Unrestricted view of any
scene)
(The smaller the number, the greater the level of restriction.)
• When “PARENTAL LEVEL” is set to “OFF”, DVD discs can be played back
regardless of the parental level.
• On some DVDs, the parental level setting is fixed and cannot be modified.

DIGITAL/MPEG .... Use these settings for specifying the type of digital
output when playing a disc recorded using Dolby
Digital/MPEG Audio.
Setting the COMPRESSION (Dolby Digital output level)
When Dolby Digital is used to record the audio on a DVD, the average overall
volume level of the audio is relatively lower than that produced by a VIDEO CD/
Audio CD. This is to provide the widest possible dynamic range. To counteract
this, your Player automatically raises the overall average volume level of a disc
recorded using Dolby Digital to a level that is similar to that of a VIDEO CD/
Audio CD.
• OFF ....... Audio level recorded on disc is played back without modification.
• ON ........ Dolby Digital average audio level is increased so it sounds similar
to that of a VIDEO CD/Audio CD.
• Use of the “OFF” setting is recommended when the Player is connected to
audio equipment or, depending on the disc, the sound is abnormal.
• VIRTUAL DOLBY (QSURROUND) is disabled when “COMPRESSION” is set

This Player is able to play CD-R or CD-RW discs recorded in MP3 format.
Regarding MP3 discs
• MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio layer 3 file format.
“MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.
• Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded
in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.
• Some discs cannot be played depending on the actual CD-R/CD-RW disc
condition, the recording equipment and the disc’s recording.
• Data on the CD-R or CD-RW disc, which has not been recorded in MP3
format, audio tracks or has been recorded in other file formats except MP3,
cannot be played.
Playing MP3 discs
• Discs that have more than 1000 folders and files in total cannot be played.
• Some MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.
• The number of layers, which can be recognized, including files and folders,
is maximum 8.
• Only the first session of a multi-session disc can be played.
• When both audio tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, audio tracks
will be played.
• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.
(The more files there are, the longer the reading time. Therefore it is
recommended to lower the number of folders before recording.)
• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters. The folder / file
names are displayed in half-size, capital letters or half-size numbers. Folder
or track (file) names that go over 8 characters will be abbreviated, and some
names may not be displayed depending on the characters or symbols used.
• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.
• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at fast
speed can produce noise and may not be able to be played.
CAUTION
• It is impossible to make a digital copy by using a digital audio recording
device which outputs sound from discs in MP3 format through the optical
digital output jack of this Player.

Precautions
Use & Care
• Avoid magnetic sources.
Using the Player near strong fluorescent lights, motors,
televisions, or other magnetic sources may adversely affect
recorded images.
• Remember to remove the disc, turn off the power when the
Player is not in use.
• Using the Player near a broadcasting station or other powerful transmission
source may cause buzzing or picture deterioration.
• Avoid shocks and dropping.
Do not drop or otherwise subject the Player to hard shocks or
strong vibrations.
• Avoid placing the Player in close proximity to lighting
equipment.
The heat from incandescent lights may deform the Player, or cause it
to malfunction.
• Always respect prohibitions or restrictions on the use of
electronic equipment on commercial flights or in other
sensitive areas.
• Be aware of the temperature and humidity.
You can use your Player at 0°C to 40°C and at 30% to 80%
relative humidity. Do not store the Player in an unventilated car in
the summer, in direct sunlight, or near strong heat sources; this
can result in severe damage to the unit’s casing and circuitry or
in burning yourself.
• Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or other foreign matter could get on
or inside the Player, and do not use or leave your Player in
areas with excessive smoke, steam or moisture.
Such environments can cause malfunctions or cause mildew to
form on the lenses. Be sure to keep the Player in a well-ventilated
location.
•
When using your Player in a cold environment, the colour LCD
screen often appears less bright immediately after the power is turned on.
This is not a malfunction. To prevent the Player from becoming too cold, wrap it in
a thick cloth (a blanket, etc.).
• Never touch the pickup lens when installing or cleaning discs.
This will cause the Player to malfunction.

GB
OTHER
INFORMATION
• Do not leave the Player on your lap for a long time during use.
Heat generated by the Player can cause low-temperature burning of the skin over
time.
Moving and shipment
• Remove the disc before packing the Player for moving or shipment.
It is also a good idea to remove the disc and turn off power whenever you are not
using the Player.
Saving power
• Help save power by turning off the Player when you are not using it. If you do
not plan to use the Player for a long time (such as when leaving on a trip),
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Care of the LCD
• To clean off the screen, turn off power and wipe the display with a soft cloth.
About the LCD Panel
• The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that provides
a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that less than 0.01% of the total number of pixels
are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).
• The fluorescent tube that provides backlighting of the screen requires periodic
replacement. As a general rule, the life of the fluorescent tube is about 10,000
hours of continuous use under normal temperatures. If the display appears dark, if
it flickers, or if it fails to light, contact your original retailer or your nearest Sharp
service centre for replacement.

OTHER
INFORMATION
Warning!
1. Never drop the battery pack or otherwise subject it to strong impact.
2. Use and store the battery pack in areas that is out of the reach of small children.
3. Never place the battery pack inside a microwave oven or a washing machine.
4. Fluid from inside the battery pack getting into the eyes can cause loss of eyesight.
Wash out the eyes thoroughly with plain water and then contact a doctor
immediately. Battery pack fluid on clothing or skin can cause skin irritation. Wash off
fluid immediately with plain water.
Caution!
1. Charge the battery pack in an area where the temperature is within the range of
10°C to 30°C. Charging outside this temperature range creates the danger of battery
pack leakage, overheating, smoke emission, fire, or rupture.
2. When not in use, remove the battery pack and store it in a cool place.
3. Avoid prolonged contact with the AC adapter or battery pack while charging.
Prolonged contact while charging creates the danger of low-temperature burns.
4. Keep the battery pack out of areas subject to large amounts of oil smoke, steam,
moisture, dust, etc.
• Never leave the battery pack in food preparation areas, near heaters, or in any
other location where it can be exposed to oil smoke or steam. Doing so creates the
danger of fire and electric shock.
• Do not use or store the battery pack where it is exposed to direct sunlight, sources
of heat, or any other location subject to high temperatures. Doing so creates the
danger of battery pack leakage, overheating, smoke emission, fire, or rupture.
Battery Pack Charging Precautions
• Charge the battery pack in an area where the temperature is in the range of
10°C to 30°C.
Low temperature can inhibit charging and cause deterioration of the battery
pack. The battery pack also cannot charge fully under high temperatures.
• Charging of a battery pack may become disabled (and the Indicator lamp may
fail to light orange) whenever heat from the Player caused the internal
temperature of an installed battery pack to rise above certain level. When this
happens, remove the battery pack from the Player. Charging will start
automatically when battery pack internal temperature drops to a safe level.
Storage Precautions
• Before storing a battery pack, first fully discharge it by using it to power Player
operation. Store the battery pack in a cool place.
Storing a battery while it is charged or in a hot location promotes deterioration.

Recommended Action
• If the battery pack is installed in the Player, try
disconnecting the AC adapter DC cord from the
Player and then reconnecting it.
• Try charging another battery pack. The same
symptom occurring with another battery pack
may indicate a problem with the AC adapter. If
the other battery pack charges normally, it can
indicate a problem with the first battery pack or
that the first battery pack has reached the end
of its normal service life.
• Make sure the connected audio equipment is
turned on.
• Make sure the “
DIGITAL” setting in “AUDIO
SETUP” is set to “D-PCM”.
• When the space between tracks of some discs
is very short, two tracks can be recorded as a
single track, which causes a mismatch of track
numbers.
