number, which can be found on its rear panel (e.g., ).
2. About this Manual
This manual explains how to use all of this unit’s functions.

notes for supported features.
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is not
available, this logo may appear onscreen, indicating
that the feature is not supported by the current disc or
this unit.

the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed
on this unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
6. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands
Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are
wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit,
have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.
7. Installing this Unit
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around this unit,
especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the ventilation is
inadequate, the unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat sources,
because its internal temperature may rise, shortening the life
of the optical pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to vibrations
from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on top of, or directly
above a loudspeaker.
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or on a
sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunction.
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the picture and
sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit
away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
8. Care
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a soft cloth.
For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately after-
wards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners,
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage
the finish or remove the panel lettering.
9. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to
pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near this
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long
time, because they may leave marks on the case.
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged
use. This is normal.
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs and
turn off the power.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work
properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occa-
sionally.
10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on the opti-
cal pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn,
the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture
quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. Contact your Onkyo
dealer for details.
11. Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside on a sum-
mer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, form on the out-
side of the glass. Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens
of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this
unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air conditioner is
hitting the unit.
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an air condi-
tioned room to a hot and humid place.
— The unit is used in a humid place.
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of moisture
condensation occurring. Doing so may damage your discs and
certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave this
unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time, the unit will
have warmed up and any condensation will have evaporated.
To reduce the risk of condensation, keep this unit connected to
a wall outlet.
