IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep

these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Environment

Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type

described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near a

bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators.

Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5 oC (41 oF) or rise above

35 oC (95 oF).

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where

one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the

plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn't

fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact an electri-

cian to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety

purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it

will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it.

Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the

plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be care-

ful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet

from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the

unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time.

Unplug the unit during lightning storms.

(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or

Installation

(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in

performance; or

Placement

(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper ventilation. Do

not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow at

least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit. To prevent

the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure curtains and

other materials do not obstruct the unit's ventilation.

2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit.

Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibra-

tion, and shock.

2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described

in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized

servicing personnel.

3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer

uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same

characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may

result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform

safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.

3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that

generate strong magnetic fields.

4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts

and stands recommended by the manufacturer.

Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive

force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to

Glossary

Bitstream

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.

There are about 30 frames shown each second.

This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)

before it is decoded into its various channels.

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields

one after the other to create frames.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is

called decoding.

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up

of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall

quality is high.

A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still

so picture quality is lower.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laborato-

ries. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-

channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on

one disc using this method.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-

Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture (I-picture)

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 chan-

nels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is

monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This

means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when

adjusting the picture.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.

There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects

are possible.

P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pic-

tures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that

can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of

sound before distortion occurs.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information

with menus (called menu play in these instructions).
