However, it should be noted that on power-up the DVD-DSYN6 will wait for the unconnected port(s) to time-out for a period of one (1) minute before any PLAY instruction is issued. · All connected players should be powered-up within a period of thirty (30) seconds to ensure that player(s) are not locked out. If a player becomes locked out the DVD-DSYN6 will not wait for this port to complete its title before issuing a global play.
