Care and Safety Information  
DANGER!  
Cleaning discs  
High voltage! Do not open the  
device. You run the risk of getting  
an electric shock.  
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).

has specific numerical values. These jacks send  
audio through two channels, the left and right.  
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.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and  
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. 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.  
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

This system can convert the interlaced video from  
DVD into progressive format for connection to a

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

features small decrease in image quality in spite of  
its high compression ratio.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data
