introduction
This introduction explains the organization of this manual and the principles of operation of the Multi Disc Player (MDP).
About These Instructions
Consumer electronics manuals have been notorious for being hard to comprehend.
Having recognized this fact, we
have made an attempt with this manual! to avoid the usual pitfalls by trying to not pretend that the equipment being
described is as simple as a bread toaster. Most likely this is your first Multi Disc Player and may be the only one you will
own. With that in mind, we have striven to write the instructions in straight-forward English while trying to keep the
procedures simple and systematic.

Because the Multi Disc Player is capable of playing laser discs (LDs), compact discs (CDs), and compact disc videos
(CDVs), these instructions are divided into the equivalent of three "manuals'—one for each type of disc—with a fourth
section providing instructions common to all discs and the fifth section for enjoying Karaoke.
