(e.g., CDs, magazines).  
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and  
where the AC power plug can be reached  
easily  
FM wire antenna  
MW loop antenna  
Space for ventilation  
– Place the apparatus in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent internal  
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”)  
clearance from the rear and the top of  
the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and  
right to prevent overheating.

Cleaning discs  
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning  
cloth and wipe the disc from the center  
to the edge in a straight line.  
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,  
water and dust  
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to

the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects,  
lighted candles).  
CAUTION!  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD

Glossary  
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned  
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while  
digital sound has specific numerical values.  
These sockets send audio through two  
channels, the left and right.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing  
up to six channels of digital audio (front left  
and right, surround left and right, centre and  
subwoofer).  
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.  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an  
improved matrix decoding technology that  
provides better spatiality and directionality  
on Dolby Surround programme material;  
provides a convincing three-dimensional  
soundfield on convertional stereo music  
recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the  
surround experience to automotive sound.  
While conventional surround programming is  
fully campatible with Dolby Surround Pro  
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to  
be encoded specifically to take full advantage  
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate  
left and right surround channels. (Such  
material also compatible with conventional  
Pro Logic decoders).  
AUDIO OUT Sockets: Red and white  
sockets on the back of the DVD System that  
send audio to another system (TV, Stereo,  
etc.).  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold  
a given length of music; measured in kilobits  
per second, 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.  
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  
DTS: DigitalTheatre Systems. This is a  
surround sound system, but it is different  
from Dolby Digital. The formats were  
developed by different companies.  
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.  
JPEG: A very common digital still picture  
format.A still-picture data compression  
system proposed by the Joint Photographic  
Expert Group, which features small decrease  
in image quality in spite of its high  
compression ratio.  
ComponentVideo Out Sockets: Sockets  
on the back of the DVD System that send  
high-quality video to aTV that has  
ComponentVideo In sockets (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr,  
etc.).  
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for  
allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles,  
multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data  
compression system.MP3is the  
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts  
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By  
using the MP3 format. One CD-R or CD-RW  
can contain about 10 times more data then a  
regular CD.  
DivX 3.11/4.x/5.x: The DivX code is a  
patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video  
compression technology, developed by  
DivXNetworks, Inc., that can shrink digital  
video to sizes small enough to be  
transported over the internet, while  
maintaining high visual quality.

Glossary (continued)  
Multichannel: DVDs are formatted to have  
each sound track constitute one sound field.  
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound  
tracks having three or more channels.  
Surround: A system for creating realistic  
three-dimensional sound fields full of realism  
by arranging multiple speakers around the  
listener.  
Parental control: Limits Disc play  
according to the age of the users or the  
limitation level in each country. The  
limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is  
activated, playback will be prohibited if the  
softwares level is higher than the user-set  
level.  
Title:The longest section of a movie or  
music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned  
a title number, enabling you to locate the title  
you want.  
VIDEO OUT socket: Yellow socket on the  
back of the DVD system that sends the DVD  
picture video to aTV.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the  
signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for  
controlling playback. By using menu screens  
recorded on aVideo CD or SVCD that  
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive  
playback and searching.  
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.  
Region code: A system allowing discs to be  
played only in the region designated.This unit  
will only play discs that have compatible  
region codes. You can find the region code of  
your unit by looking on the product label.  
Some discs are compatible with more than  
one region (or ALL regions).  
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by  
sending separate signals for the luminance  
and the colour. You can use S-Video only if  
yourTV has an S-Video In socket.  
Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio  
format is based upon the current CD  
standards but includes a greater amount of  
information that provides higher quality  
sound. There are three types of discs: single  
layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The  
hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD  
and Super Audio CD information.
