Use of any controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those  
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.  
Any change or modification to the player not expressly approved by  
the manufacturer or its authorized parties could void your authority

2
NS-VDVD1 Vertical DVD player  
may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this  
DVD player plays discs according to the disc contents the  
software producers designed, some playback functions may  
not be available. Also refer to the instructions supplied with the  
discs.  
Regional CodingBoth the DVD player and disc are coded by  
region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc  
to play. If the codes dont match, the disc wont play. This DVD  
players code is Region 1. DVDs with other regional codes  
cannot be played in this DVD player.  
HandlingTake care not to drop the player or subject it to  
strong shocks, which may cause damage or malfunction.  
AttachmentsUse of attachments not recommended by the  
player manufacturer may cause hazards.  
AccessoriesDo not place this player on  
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table. The player may fall, causing serious  
injury to a child or adult, and serious  
damage to the player. Use only with a cart,  
stand, tripod, bracket, or table  
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold  
with the player. Any mounting of the player should follow the  
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting  
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. A player and

Where it is very dusty or sandy.  
In wet or humid places, such as a bathroom.  
Near sources of strong magnetism, such as a television or a  
magnet.  
Where there is a lot of movement or vibration, such as on a  
car dashboard or on an unstable shelf.  
Where it is extremely hot or cold.  
Where the player is exposed to rain or water.

NS-VDVD1 Vertical DVD player  
Grounding or polarizationThis player may be equipped  
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one  
blade wider than the other). This plug will only fit into the power  
outlet one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the  
plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your  
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat this safety feature of the  
polarized plug.  
Power cord protectionPower supply cords should be routed  
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items  
placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at  
plugs, outlets, and the point where they exit from the player.  
Lightning and power surgesFor added protection during a  
lightning storm, or when the player is left unattended and  
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet.  
This will prevent damage to the player due to lightning and  
power-line surges.  
OverloadingDo not overload power outlets, extension cords,  
or integrated outlets as this can result in a risk of fire or electric  
shock.  
Object and liquid entryNever push objects of any kind into  
this player. Doing so could cause a fire or electric shock. Never  
spill liquid of any kind on the player.  
ServicingDo not try to service this player yourself. Service  
must be done by qualified service personnel only.  
Damages requiring serviceUnplug this player from the  
power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel  
under the following conditions:  
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.  
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the  
player.  
If the player has been exposed to rain or water.  
If the player does not operate normally by following the  
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
covered by the operating instructions. The incorrect  
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will  
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to  
restore the player to its normal operation.  
If the player has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
When the player exhibits a distinct change in performance  
which may indicate a need for service.  
Replacement parts—When replacement parts are required,  
make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts  
that are specified by the manufacturer or that have the same  
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions  
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

NS-VDVD1 Vertical DVD player  
Safety check—Upon completion of any service or repair to  
this player, ask the service technician to perform safety checks  
to make sure that the player is in correct operating condition.  
When the player is in use for a long period of time, the surface of  
the player will be hot. This will not affect its operation.

Disc structure  
DVDs are divided into titles, and the titles are sub-divided into  
chapters. Audio CDs are divided into tracks.  
Each title, chapter, or track is assigned a number, called title number,  
chapter number, or track number, respectively.  
• Discs other than those listed above cannot be played.  
• Non-standardized discs, even if they are labeled as above,  
cannot be played.  
Notes  
• The performance of recorded discs depends on the method  
and quality of disc-burning. In some cases, the disc may not  
be playable.  
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near  
heat source.  
• Do not store discs in place subject to moisture and dust such  
as a bathroom or near a humidifier.  
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing object on  
discs outside or their case may cause warping.

4:3 screen TV, horizontal compression of the image will result.
