the S-Video Out setting (page 58).
• This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard.
Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of
disc is played back, stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the
picture depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction.
• Due to the player's copy protection circuits, connection of this
device through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent recording or
cause picture problems. This is not a malfunction.

System on page 81.

damaged (page 70).

phono (turntable) inputs.

speaker settings, etc.).
