Care and Safety Information  
DANGER!  
High voltage! Do not open the  
device. You run the risk of getting  
an electric shock.  
Cleaning discs  
Some problems occur because the disc  
inside the player is dirty (frozen picture,  
sound disruptions, picture distortions).  
To avoid these problems, discs should be  
cleaned on a regular basis.  
The machine does not contain any  
user-serviceable parts. Please leave  
all maintenance work to qualified  
personnel.  
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning  
cloth and wipe the disc from the center  
to the edge in a straight line.  
Setup  
Finding a suitable location  
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable  
surface. Do not place the set on a  
carpet.  
– Do not put any equipment or heavy  
objects on top of the set.  
– Do not position the set on top of  
other equipment that might heat it up  
(such as receiver or amplifier).  
– Do not put anything under the set  
(such as CDs, magazines).  
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and  
where the AC power plug can be  
reached easily.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for analog  
discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the  
DVD player operates at a higher power  
than regular DVD or CD players,  
cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD  
players may damage the optical unit  
(laser). Therefore, refrain from using a  
cleaning CD.  
Space for ventilation  
– Place the apparatus in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent  
internal heat build up. Allow at least  
10 cm (4.0”) clearance from the rear  
and the top of the set and 5cm (2.0”)  
from the left and right to prevent  
overheating.  
5cm (2.0")  
10cm (4.0")  
10cm (4.0")  
5cm (2.0")  
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,  
water and dust  
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
– Do not place any sources of danger  
on the apparatus (such as liquid filled  
objects, lighted candles).

Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into  
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound  
has specific numerical values. These jacks send  
audio through two channels, the left and right.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data  
compression system. ‘MP3’ is the abbreviation of  
Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)  
Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or  
CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data  
volume as a regular CD can.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and  
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The  
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is  
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.  
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each  
sound track constitute one sound field.  
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks  
having three or more channels.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the  
DVD System that send audio to another system  
(TV, Stereo, etc.).  
Parental Control: A function of the DVD to  
limit playback of the disc by the age of the users  
according to the limitation level in each country.  
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is  
activated, playback will be prohibited if the  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a  
given length of music; measured in kilobits per  
seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you  
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the  
higher the recording speed, the better the sound  
quality. However, higher bit rates use more space  
on a Disc.  
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for  
converting analog sound signal to digital signal for  
later processing, with no data compression used in  
conversion.  
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece  
on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is  
composed of several chapters. Each chapter is  
assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate  
the chapter you want.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal  
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling  
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on  
a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can  
enjoy interactive-type software as well as software  
having a search function.  
Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the  
back of the DVD System that send high-quality  
video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks  
(R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).  
Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal  
lines of a picture at one time, as a signal frame.  
This system can convert the interlaced video from  
DVD into progressive format for connection to a  
progressive display. It dramatically increases the  
vertical resolution.  
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for  
allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles,  
multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into  
numerical values. Digital sound is available when  
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or  
OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through  
multiple channels, instead of just two channels as  
analog does.  
DivX® 3.11/4.x/5.x/6.0: The DivX® codec is a  
patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video compression  
technology, developed by DivX® Networks, Inc.,
