This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
· Reorient or relocate the equipment and/or the receiving
antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications to this equipments not expressly
approved by TEAC CORPORATION for compliance will void the
user's warranty.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
<
Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
<
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the apparatus.
<
Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a
book case or similar unit.
<
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the
AC outlet with its STANDBY switch in the standby position.

The UZ-1 player uses six DACs with high-quality 14-bit
216MHz processing for video output. This type of DAC, the
ADV7314, employs new Noise shaping Video (NSV)
technology from Analog Devices, Inc. of the USA.
NSV technology uses multi-bit delta-sigma conversion,
removing video noise and providing low noise and high
linearity, without the loss of information that is often
associated with analog filtering systems.
Noise Shaped Video and NSV are registered trademarks of
Analog Devices, Inc.
To eliminate "jaggies" and produce clear natural images, the
UZ-1 uses DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing)
technology. The circuits employed are from the Faroudja
business devision of Genesis Microchip, and enable hardware
based diagonal line detection and smoothing from a pixel
based image. As a result, smoother progressive-scan images
can be produced, with "jaggie" noise reduced by interpolation
techniques.
Changing the Color System (NTSC/PAL)
If you experience picture distortion or are unable to view the
monitor image, you may need to change the color setting to
match your TV.
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. While holding down the y/ J button of the main unit, plug
the power cord into the outlet.
3. While "V Set NTSC" (or "V Set PAL") is displayed on the front
panel display, press the / button.
The display changes to "V Set PAL" (or "V Set NTSC").
Select "V Set PAL" when a PAL TV (European standard) is
connected. Select "V Set NTSC" when a NTSC TV (American
standard) is connected.
4. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Note that you have to unplug the power cord before each
change.
About MOD.(Modulation) PAL:
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV
system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically
switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not
be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the
TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops
rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving
black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC-PAL conversion.
