Preventing static electricity

Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs. 1.5.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as DVD players. Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed. (1) Ground the workbench Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it. (2) Ground yourself Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.

(3) Handling the optical pickup · In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition. (Refer to the text.) · Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can easily destroy the laser diode. 1.6 Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup) (1) Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit. (2) Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific details, refer to the replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too long a time when attaching it to the connector. (3) Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force. (4) I t is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it. 1.7 Precautions of the safe use of battery (Only ver. J, C) · Store the battery in a place where children cannot reach.If a child accidentally swallows the battery, consult a doctorimmediately. · Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery or dispose of it in a fire. Doing any of these things may cause the battery to give off heat, crack, or start a fire. · Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials.Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat, crack, or start a fire. · When throwing away or saving the battery, wrap it in tape and insulate; otherwise, the battery may start to give off heat, crack, or start a fire. · Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools.Doing this may cause the battery to give off heat, crack, or start a fire. · Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

C Connecting to a TV with component jacks For XV-N310B/XV-N312S/XV-N315B/ XV-N316S only
You can enjoy picture of high-quality color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.

About the scanning mode
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). When the player plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

NOTES
· Connect "Y" to "Y," "PB" to "PB" (CB), "PR" to "PR" (CR) correctly. · The video output jack, scart connector and component jacks cannot be used at the same time. · If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Progressive scan video playback available
In the progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.
