Precautions
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by
qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 3, 5 or 13 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replace-
ment fuse has a rating of 3, 5 or 13 amperes and that it is
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the
ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE
FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME
THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND
THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL
SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED
INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
For European Models
1. Region Numbers
The DVD standard uses region numbers to control how
discs can be played around the world, the world being
divided into six regions. This unit will only play DVD
discs that match its region number, which can be found
on its rear panel (e.g.,
).
2. About this Manual
This manual explains how to use all of this unit's func-
tions. Although the DVD standard offers many special
features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the
disc being played, this unit may not respond to certain
functions. See the disc's sleeve notes for supported fea-
tures.
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,
indicating that the feature is not supported by
the current disc or this unit.
3. Recording Copyright
Unless it's for personal use only, recording copyrighted
material is illegal without the permission of the copy-
right holder.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make
sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage
requirements printed on this unit's rear panel (e.g., AC
100­240 V, 50/60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does
not fully shutdown the DV-L55. If you do not intend to
use the DV-L55 for an extended period, remove the
power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands

this unit, especially if it's installed in an audio rack. If
the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat,
leading to malfunction.
· Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat
sources, because its internal temperature may rise,
shortening the life of the optical pickup.

Precautions--Continued
· Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or
on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc-
tion.
· If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
picture and sound quality may be affected. If this
occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
7. Care
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth damp-
ened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water.
Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth.
Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other
chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish
or remove the panel lettering.
8. Handling Notes
· If you need to transport this unit, use the original pack-
aging to pack it how it was when you originally bought
it.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near
this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this
unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on
the case.
· This unit's top and rear panels may get warm after pro-
longed use. This is normal.
· When you've finished using this unit, remove all discs
and turn off the power.
· If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not
work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure
to use it occasionally.
9. To Obtain a Clear Picture
This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on
the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism
becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be
affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recom-
mend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. Contact your
Onkyo dealer for details.
10. Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside
on a summer's day, drops of water, called condensation,
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of
the most important parts inside this unit.
· Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit-
uations:
-- The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
--A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-
ditioner is hitting the unit.
-- In the summer, when this unit is moved from an
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
-- The unit is used in a humid place.
· Do not use this unit when there's the possibility of
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam-
age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con-
densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of
condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out-
let.
