Chapter 1: Setup and Connections  
Things to consider before you connect  
Protect components from overheating  
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.  
Don’t stack components.  
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.  
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the  
middle of the back of the TV.  
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from  
audio/video cables.  
Connection Pictures  
Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable  
separately (audio left, audio right, and video).  
Types of discs your DVD player can play  
DVD discs – contian picture and sound (DVD-R, DVD+RW are compatible with this player) .  
CDs (CD-R, CD-RW) – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. MP3 discs are CDs that  
contain MP3 files. This player is also capable of playing CDs that contain JPEG files.  
Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The  
difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower  
picture and sound quality than DVD discs.  
Some discs may not be  
compatible due to laser  
pickup and disc design.

Connection: DVD + TV + Audio Receiver  
Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats  
used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the  
digital track of film (while the film is being made).  
Both of these formats provide up to six separate  
channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear,  
and common subwoofer. The disc will play 5.1-  
channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or  
Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc is

This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a  
Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Older digital  
equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital  
bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that  
may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or  
speakers. It is important to change the setting in the DVD Player’s  
menu. For more information, go to page 42.

Chapter 1: Setup and Connections  
Install Batteries in the Remote  
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.  
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram inside the  
battery compartment.  
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.  
Important Battery Information  
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.  
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.  
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same  
time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.  
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.  
Point the Remote in the Right Direction and Put it in DVD Mode  
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the  
TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in  
order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure  
there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate, so the  
signal isn’t blocked.  
Make sure the remote is in DVD mode — press the DVD button.  
Turn on the TV and DVD Player  
1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know which  
channel is your the Video Input channel, go to page 59 for help).  
2. Press the ON•OFF button on the remote to turn on the DVD Player. If the player doesn’t turn on,  
press the DVD button and then press ON•OFF.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs  
Regional Coding  
Both the DVD Player and the discs are coded by region. These regional  
codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match,  
the disc won’t play. This player’s code is region 1.  
This DVD Player is capable of playing the following types  
of discs: DVDs, audio CDs, Video CDs, MP3 CDs. Before  
you put a disc in the player, make sure it is compatible.  
Using Different Menus  
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three  
separate types of menus that you can use to access features:  
You can’t play the following types of discs:, Laserdiscs,  
CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), DVD-ROM, or  
discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL  
or SECAM).  
The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate  
from the DVD player’s menu. The contents of each Disc menu vary  
according to how the disc was authored and what features are  
included.  
Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and  
disc design.  
The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with  
the MENU button on the remote.  
The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons  
across the top of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be  
accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the  
INFO button on the remote.  
The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed  
only when a disc isn’t playing. It appears automatically when you press  
the STOP button on the remote.  
Chapter Contents  
The beginning of this chapter pertains to DVD discs. Many of  
the player’s features work the same way with other types of  
discs. Video CDs, Audio CDs, and MP3 CDs are explained later  
in the chapter.  
Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if  
you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with  
subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.

Turn on the TV and your DVD Player (press ON•OFF on the remote or press the STANDBY/ON  
button on the front of the DVD Player).  
1. If necessary, tune the TV to its Video Input channel (if you need more information, go to page  
59).  
This is an example of a  
one-sided disc.  
2. Press and hold the OPEN•CLOSE button (the disc tray opens).  
3. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have content  
on both sides, so you can place either side up).  
4. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes. The DVD Player reads the disc’s  
table of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was  
programmed:  
• The disc starts playing.  
This is an example of a  
two-sided disc — the title  
is usually in the center of  
the disc.  
• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc play. Highlight that  
option and press OK.  
• The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the  
option and press OK.  
When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the  
disc again, the DVD Player picks up where you left off unless the disc is removed or the player is  
unplugged, or if you press the STOP button twice.

angle unless the disc was created with different camera angles). Also, if one of the icons is “grayed out,” the Info Display  
feature isn’t available for the disc you’re playing.  
The invalid symbol appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t have any function. To make the Info  
Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote control.

Video CDs (VCDs)  
Video CDs contain audio and video content just like DVD discs, but they are created in a different  
format and don’t hold as much information as DVD discs. The picture quality on a VCD isn’t as  
high as the picture quality on a DVD disc.  
VCDs are divided into tracks and titles. Because VCDs contain less information than a DVD disc,  
some of the features of your DVD Player might not work with some VCDs.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (MP3s)  
Playing MP3 Discs  
MP3 (MPEG-3, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group-Layer 3, meaning the third layer of  
information) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the audio is compressed, it takes up  
less space.  
Obtaining MP3 Files  
There are two ways to obtain MP3 files:  
Use your computer software to encode MP3 files from an audio CD — you can download the  
software from some internet sites such as MusicMatch.  
Download MP3 files from the internet. Some internet sites allow you to download MP3 files for  
free, and some charge a fee.  
Creating an MP3 Disc on Your Computer  
Your DVD player handles MPEG-1, layer III audio. If you encode your own MP3 files from an audio  
CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2,such as the 22kHz sampling frequency.  
Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD,you will lose the  
extra features and compression of the MP3 format.  
When you burn a CD, take the following steps to get optimal use of the CD for playing in your  
DVD player. In your CD burning software, select ISO-9660 for the file system.  
Notes:  
The Joliet file system is not recommended. Using the Joliet file system may result in shortened file names.  
Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for MP3 CDs.

different folders. The contents of a folder can either be songs or more  
folders (subdirectories)  
Selecting Folders and Songs  
When you load the MP3 disc into the player, the player reads the  
contents and the MP3 menu appears. The MP3 files (and folders) are  
displayed in the order you placed them on the disc.

the folder and press OK (the songs in the folder appear).  
2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight the song you want to  
play, and press OK.

Setting Ratings Limits  
The Rating Limits feature lets you determine what types of discs can be played in the player, and what types of discs will  
require a password to override the rating limit that you’ve set. In the U.S., the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by  
the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) such as R, PG, G, etc.  
The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accomodate ratings systems used in other countries (1 is considered  
material that is least offensive and 8 is considered the most offensive).  
Note: In order for the Ratings to be enforced, the DVD Player must be locked.  
To set Ratings Limits for Rated Titles:

format can’t be cropped in this fashion. This means the black bars might  
appear on the left and right sides of the screen.  
This is an example of 4 x 3.

Maintenance of Cabinet  
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.  
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.  
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.  
Formation of Condensation  
• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the  
player.  
• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature  
until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.  
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.  
Handling Discs  
• Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.  
• Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.  
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.  
Cleaning Discs  
• Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the  
inner edge toward the outer perimeter.  
• If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove any water drops with a dry  
cloth.  
• Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile  
solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

How to find your TVs Video Input Channel  
In order to see what’s playing on your DVD Player, you need to tune the TV to the Video Input Channel that corresponds to  
the jacks you used to hook up the recorder to the TV. The Video Input Channel(s) varies for different brands and different  
models of TVs. Below are some things to try.  
Consult the Owner’s Manual that came with your TV.  
If you can’t find the information in the manual, or can’t find the manual, review the following list of ways to access Video  
Input Channels on TVs.  
There might be a button on the TV’s remote control that accesses the Video Input Channel (see table below for examples).  
You might select the Video Input Channel from the TV’s menu system.  
You might tune to it by pressing a specific channel number (see table below)  
Press the Channel up and/or down buttons on the TV’s remote control (sometimes the Video Input Channel is stored in  
the channel list).
