Features
Your DVD MicroTheatre with 2.0 channel full
digital amplifier creates the same dynamic sound
qualities that you find in full-fledged cinemas and
incorporates some of the best features in home
theater technology.
Other features include:
Built-in Dolby Digital decoder, supporting

Environmental information
Night mode
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Lets you compress the dynamic range, reducing
the difference in loudness between different
sounds in Dolby Digital mode.
Parental Control (Rating Level)
Lets you set a ratings level so that your children
cannot watch a DVD that has a rating higher
than you set.
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Sleep/Wake-upTimer
Enables the system to switch on/off automatically
at a preset time.
Installation
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
Progressive Scan
Provides high quality flicker-free images for film
based sources.When a picture refreshes, its
vertical resolution can double to 525 lines.
● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
Note:
To fully enjoy the progressive scan feature, you
need a progressive scanTV.
