Precautions for Battery Pack Operation (PDV-LC10)
Operation of the battery pack
Charge the battery pack fully before using it for the first time. When the surrounding temperature is high, the battery pack may sometimes be unusable due to activation of protection circuitry. When the portable DVD player is powered from the battery pack and if the player has not been operated for about 5 minutes with the power switched on, the player will turn off automatically. (Auto power OFF) During battery pack operation, the display of the portable DVD player may become dim. This is to save power and is not a malfunction. The battery pack becomes hot after use and the portable DVD player also becomes hot during use. This is not malfunction. When the battery pack is not to be used for a long period, be sure to remove it from the portable DVD player. If the battery pack is left attached, continual flow of weak current renders it overdischarged and eventually unusable even when you try to charge it later. If the portable DVD player is switched on while the battery pack is not fully charged, the operation may sometimes be unstable. Be sure to charge the battery pack fully before use.

Storage

The battery pack should be stored under an surrounding temperature between 15 and 25C. Avoid storing it under extremely low temperatures, in a place with high temperature and high humidity or in a place subject to soot, etc. When the battery pack is stored for a long period, at least once an year it is recommended to discharge it fully on the portable DVD player, recharge it fully and store it again.
Service life and disposal
When the charging time or available operation time becomes extremely short, the battery may be reaching the end of its life. The battery pack can be used for about 300 cycles of recharging and operations. To dispose of a used battery pack, wrap a piece of tape around the terminal section and treat it in compliance with your local regulations.
To extend the service life of the battery pack
The battery pack incorporates nickelhydrogen cells. To extend its service life, it is recommended to discharge it fully before every recharging.
Types of Discs Playable on this Player
The discs listed on the table below can be played on this player without an adapter. Discs other than the ones listed below cannot be played on this player. The marks shown on the table below are indicated on the discs label, package or jacket. To prevent malfunction, etc., do not use 8 cm adapters (for CDs).

Using These Operating Instructions
Be sure to read these operating instructions before using the player to ensure you take maximum advantage of all the functions this player offers. Note that these operating instructions describe the operation of two players, the PDVLC10 portable DVD player with liquid crystal display and the PDV-10 portable DVD player. Some descriptions use illustrations of the type equipped with a liquid crystal display. When this player is connected to a TV or AV amplifier, the setup screen must be displayed and the various settings must be switched according to the connected equipment. This player is equipped with an extremely convenient function called the Setup Navigator in which the disc language setting and connection settings are set automatically when the user answers questions in interactive fashion. (Page 42) INTRODUCTION With DVDs it is possible to switch the subtitle and audio languages and to select the desired sound mode from among multiple sound tracks (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.). The setup screen is where these settings are stored temporarily. This player is equipped with two levels of setup screens, Basic and Expert, which can be selected as necessary according to the viewing environment and the frequency of use of the different setting items. (Page 57) In order to take full advantage of the many functions this player has to offer, be sure to store these operating instructions in a readily accessible place.
