CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment would void the user’s authority to operate
this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (
➜ page 27
, Glossary) of all or part
of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs, or such parts of the
disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio
will not be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected
and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket for more information.

screen.
≥ This unit cannot play files recorded using
packet write.
Naming folders and files
(Files are treated as content and folders
are treated as groups on this unit.)

file names. This should be with numbers
that have an equal number of digits, and
should be done in the order you want to
play them (this may not work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”, “.MP3” or “.mp3”,
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”
