DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc.  
DivX media files contain highly compressed video with  
high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file  
size.  
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct  
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive  
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and  
other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service  
life. Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Film and video  
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This  
unit can determine which type has been used, then uses  
the most suitable method of progressive output.  
Voltage  
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can  
overload the unit and cause a fire. Do not use a DC  
power source. Check the source carefully when setting  
the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.  
Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or  
24 frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs  
recorded at 30 frames per second as well).  
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.  
Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL  
discs) or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC  
discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama  
programs or animation.

AC mains lead protection  
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and  
not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can  
cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place  
heavy items on the lead.  
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling  
the AC mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not  
handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric  
shock.

Foreign matter  
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can  
cause electric shock or malfunction.  
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause  
electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately  
disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact  
your dealer.  
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They  
contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into  
the unit.  
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of  
sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods  
into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the  
number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers  
mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
