opened and the unit should be positioned so that it can see the remote control.  
Do not expose your unit to extremes of temperature or humidity. Avoid standing it on a hot surface such as on  
top of other hot running equipment and ensure that there is adequate ventilation to the unit.

DVD discs have Titles and Chapters. There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain several  
Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered, e.g. Title 1, Title 2 etc. & Chapter 1,2,3 etc.  
Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio  
logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles contain  
trailers for other films, production notes, or alternative  
endings for the film. There are many possibilities with  
Digital Versatile Disc. Chapters within the main Title allow  
you to search quickly for a specific point on the disc.  
Many discs have a Chapter Menu sometimes called Scene  
Index or Scene Menu that displays the first shot from  
each Chapter, which allows you to select a shot and play  
the disc from that point onwards. DVD discs can be PAL  
or NTSC. This player can play both types (if the player  
zone is correct).  
DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a single disc. You can select and change the language  
and subtitle to suit yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different angles.  
Cleaning DVD Discs  
Picture freezing & sound skipping or repeating can occur if the disc inside the player is dirty.  
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can cause picture distortion or render the disc  
unplayable.  
CAUTION - Do not use solvents, commercially viable cleaners, or antistatic  
spray intended for analog discs.

DISC YOU CAN PLAY  
While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs  
possible, however it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with  
audio CD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the  
DVD writer, the right software and the disc used.  
MP3 Files  
DVD-Video  
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3  
format. As for CD-R MP3 discs, please follow all the  
recommendations for CD-R above, along with the  
comments below:  
Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or double  
sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density  
optical discs on which high quality picture and audio  
are recorded by means of digital signals.  
Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET  
format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are  
compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows,  
as well as with Apple Mac. These two formats are  
the most widely used.  
DVD-R, DVD-RW  
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-  
RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable). Depending on  
the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using  
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video  
DVD mode. Recordings using DVD+RW discs must  
be made in accordance with the specifications for  
DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.  
• MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters,  
and should end with the “.MP3” extension.  
General name format: “Title.MP3”. When  
composing your title ensure that you use 8  
characters or less, have no spaces in the name,  
and avoid the use of special characters including (  
. , / , \ , = ,+).  
Video CD(VCD)  
VCD stands for Video Compact Disc on which con-  
tains video associates with still images, audio tracks  
and interactive menus.  
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least  
128kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording  
MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically  
depends on the rate of compression /  
Audio CDs  
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).  
decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD  
quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling  
rate, that is converted to MP3 format, of at least  
128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher  
rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely  
produce better sound quality. Conversely, files  
with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play  
properly.  
CD-R & CD-RW  
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs  
(rewritable). This player can play most CD-R discs.  
CD-Rs written during a multi-session recording can  
also be played, provided that the session has ended  
before the disc is played (depending on the write  
software). However, depending on the condition of the  
CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find  
that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a  
CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take  
up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before start-  
ing to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period  
of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it  
again.  
• Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3  
files.  
“Secured” files are encrypted and code-protected  
to prevent illegal copying. You must not copy such  
files.  
Important:  
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a  
guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings,  
or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note  
that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file  
recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these  
files on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality  
and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read  
the file).  
• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of  
the CD-R, do not use its full capacity.  
• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-  
RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-  
RW playback may be faulty.  
• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.  
• Close all other applications on the computer to  
ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.  
JPEG Files  
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG  
files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read  
by this player.
