Copy Protection
This Unit supports Macrovision copy protection.
On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the
DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code prevents the
videotape copy from playing normally.
Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excellence
This Unit is a precision device constructed using extremely accurate technology.
• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.
• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer to the relevant sections and to TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
on page 18, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult a Sharp Authorized Service Center for inspection and clean-
ing of the laser optical pickup unit.
Notice for progressive scan outputs
Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause arti-
facts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch
the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model
525p DVD player, please contact our customer service center.
Warning of Dew Formation
Dew may form on the pickup lens in the following conditions.
• When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.
• Immediately after a heater has been turned on. • In a steamy or very humid room.
If dew forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the dew
to evaporate.
