Safety
1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power supply only
of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the
AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet,
and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

setting must be changed to PCM or Off. If not, signals the equipment
cannot process will be output by this unit, causing high levels of
noise which can damage your hearing and the speakers.

Glossary
R
Bitstream
Frame still and field still
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
before it is decoded into its various channels.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields
one after the other to create frames.
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.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.
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
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.
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.
P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
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-pictures
so it has the lowest volume of information.
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.
Dynamic range
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
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.
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).
