SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be

taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are

properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing

connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off,

withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has

a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to

watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved

stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal

electrical shock.;

—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Introduction

7 Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Notes on handling

7 Important cautions

Installation of the system

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;

between 5°C and 35°C.

Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near

a heating device.

When you are away

When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of

time, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.

• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.

Power cord

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the system.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• A small amount of power is always consumed while the power

cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always

pull on the plug, not the power cord.

Care of the cabinet

When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant

instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use

benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.

These may cause deformation or discoloring.

To prevent malfunctions of the system

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes

wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.

• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or

credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage

the system.

If water gets inside the system

Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.

Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical

shock.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it

may damage the system.

About discs

Region code of DVD VIDEO

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own

Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO

discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region

Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following discs:

DVD VIDEO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio

CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.

Example of playable DVD:

• This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play

discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video

signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

• This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in

DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played

because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,

“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and

playback cannot start.

Discs you can play:

DVD VIDEO

Audio CD

SVCD

Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM

• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs

recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs

recorded in DVD VR format.

• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if DivX, MP3

and JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.

This system does not support “multi-border” disc.

VCD

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if DivX, MP3 and

JPEG files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

• The following discs cannot be played back:

CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

speakers.

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the

“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of

Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be

recommended.

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

• On some DVD VIDEOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual

operation may be different from what is explained in this

manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc

structure, not a malfunction of this system.

About discs

For all playable files

Notes on MP3 files

• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the

following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper

and lower case;

• Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can

be shown on the TV. (See page 24.)

• The system can play back the MP3 files recorded at 32 kbps to

320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,

44.1 kHz and 48 kHz as a sampling frequency.

MP3:

JPEG:

DivX:

“.MP3”, “.mp3”

“.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

“.DIVX”, “.DIV”, “.divx”, “.div”, and “.AVI”, “.avi”

• We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a

sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.

• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99

groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the

system can play is 4000.

• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc

characteristics or recording conditions.

• MP3/JPEG/DivX discs require a longer readout time. (It differs

due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

• If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE

TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting

for the data to be read (“AUDIO”, “STILL PICTURE” or

“VIDEO”). (See page 32.)

Notes on JPEG files

• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file

has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will

take a longer time to be displayed.)

• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

Notes on DivX files

• The system supports DivX 5.x, 4.x and 3.11.

• The system supports the DivX files whose resolution is 720 x

480 pixels or less (30 fps), and 720 x 576 pixels or less (25 fps).

• Audio stream should conform to MPEG 1 Audio Layer-2 or

MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3).

• The system does not support GMC (Global Motion

Compression).

• The file encoded in the interlaced scanning mode may not be

played back correctly.

• The system has its own Registration Code for DivX playback.

can receive the Alarm signal correctly

Switching to broadcast program of your

choice temporarily

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the

Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system

automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.

While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display

window.

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other

Network”.

This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast

program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different

station except in the following cases:

function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS/FL
