Types of Discs the Player Can Play  
DO NOT Use CD-R Discs!  
The wavelength of the pickup of this  
DVD Player may cause CD-R discs to be  
erased. DO NOT play CD-R discs in this  
player!  
This DVD Player is capable of playing the following types of discs  
with the corresponding logos.  
Divx discs  
DVDs  
Audio CDs  
Consider the Location of Your Player  
You must connect your DVD Player to a telephone jack in order to  
play Divx discs. The telephone line cord packed with your player is  
approximately 25 feet long. Consider this when deciding where to  
hook up your DVD Player.  
Protect Components from Pow er Surges  
Connect all components before plugging any power cords into  
the wall outlet.  
Always turn off the DVD Player, TV, and other components  
before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio  
Hum or Interference  
CAUTION  
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.  
Protect your components from  
overheating.  
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel  
instead of straight down the middle after you connect your  
components.  
Do not stack electronic components  
or other objects on top of the DVD  
Player.  
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the  
audio/video cables as much as possible.  
Do not block ventilation holes in any  
of the components. Arrange the  
components so that air can circulate  
freely.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.  
Allow adequate ventilation when  
placing your components in a stand.

1. Connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video  
receiver and to the AUDIO OUT L (left – white) and R (right – red)  
jacks on the back of your DVD Player.  
This players digital output jack is  
designed for a connection to a Dolby  
Digital or DTS receiver or decoder.  
2. If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, insert an optical digital  
cable (not provided) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the  
DVD Player and to the Digital Input jack on the back of the  
receiver. You must also set the Audio Equipment setting in the  
Setup menu to the correct setting (Dolby Digital or DTS – see p. 60  
for more information).  
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.  
3. Connect the video cable to the VIDEO OUT jack on your DVD  
Player and to the Video Input jack on your TV.  
It is important to choose the correct

AUDIO OUT jack.  
If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable to the S-  
VIDEO jack on your DVD Player and to the S-Video jack on your  
DVD Player. If your TV doesnt have an S-VIDEO jack, dont  
connect the S-Video cable.  
If you are connecting your DVD Player  
to a Dolby Digital receiver, choose the  
Dolby Digital setting in the Audio  
Equipment menu (within the Setup  
menu). If youre connecting your DVD  
Player to a DTS receiver or decoder,  
choose the DTS setting in the Audio  
Equipment menu. For more information,  
see Audio Equipment menu information  
on p. 60.  
4. If the telephone line cord packed with your DVD Player has a filter  
attached to one end of the cord, insert that end of the telephone  
line cord into the PHONE JACK on the back of your DVD Player.  
Plug the other end into the telephone line splitter (provided), and  
insert the telephone line splitter into a phone jack.  
If the telephone line cord doesnt have a filter attached to it, just  
insert one end into the DVD Players PHONE JACK and insert the  
other end into the telephone line splitter. Insert the telephone line  
splitter into a phone jack.  
5. Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN jack on the back of your  
DVD Player, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.  
6. Turn on your TV.  
7. Turn your TV to the Video Input Channel. (If you dont know what  
channel is the Video Input Channel, please see p. 14).  
Remove the Plastic Covers  
8. Turn on your DVD Player.  
If youre using the DIGITAL AUDIO  
OUT jack, check to see if there is a  
protective cover inside of the jack and  
on the ends of the optical digital cable.  
You must remove these protective  
covers before inserting the optical  
digital cable into the jack.  
Dolby Digital and DTS  
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record  
5.1-channel, audio signals onto the digital track of film. Both of these  
formats provide six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right  
rear, and common subwoofer.  
Remember, the disc will only play 5.1-channel sound if youve connected a  
DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc was recorded in the  
Dolby Digital or DTS format.

A New Way of Looking At Things  
In this section you’ll learn how to use your DVD  
Player to play Digital Video Discs. Detailed  
information about Divx discs in the next section.  
Youll use the on-screen Info Display while you’re  
playing a disc to use the different playback features  
of each disc. Please remember, an Info Display  
option will only work if the disc was programmed  
to support that option when it was made. For  
example, if you choose subtitles on the Info display,  
the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created  
with subtitles.  
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 dont match, the  
disc wont play. This player’s code is Region No. 1.

How to Play Divx Discs  
Connect the Telephone Line Cord  
1. Turn on your DVD Player.  
You must connect the telephone line  
cord to the back of your DVD Player  
and to a working phone jack in order to  
use all of the Divx features. (See p. 4).  
2. Press OPEN• CLOSE on your DVD Player.  
3. Place the Divx disc into the tray (Divx logo facing up and make  
sure the disc lays flat).  
4. Press PLAY on your remote (the disc tray closes).  
If YOUR PLAYER HAS NEVER PLAYED th is disc before, it will  
display the authorization screen illustrated at right. This screen lets you  
know what options you have BEFORE you go ahead and play the  
movie.  
If th e Divx disc is “bran d n ew” an d it h as n ever been played on  
an y player, just highlight Play Movie on your TV screen and press OK.  
The initial 2-day viewing period will begin and no charges will be  
billed to your Divx account.  
– – OR – –  
If th e disc h as been played on your player an d th ere is still tim e  
rem ain in g in th e viewin g period, the Divx disc will begin playing  
the movie automatically when the disc tray closes and it will not show  
you the authorization screen.  
If th e origin al viewin g period on th e Divx disc HAS BEEN USED  
(i.e., the Divx discs 2-day viewing period has been played on your  
player or on someone elses player before), then the authorization  
screen advises you that your account will be charged the amount  
which appears on your TV screen. If you agree to the price, highlight  
Play Movie and press the OK button on your remote control.  
Notes:  
If the time remaining on any viewing period is less than the total playing  
time of the movie, your player will play the entire movie without  
additional charges. Once the viewing period expires, you may not be  
able to use certain features such as stop or pause.  
If th e origin al viewin g period on th e Divx  
disc h as been used, an auth orization  
screen sim ilar to th e on e above will  
appear.  
The charge for additional viewing periods and the charge for purchasing  
unlimited play (DivxSilver) may vary from title to title.  
Note:  
If you have more than one Divx enhanced DVD Player registered to  
your account, you may play a Divx disc on any or all of those  
players during the viewing period without incurring additional  
charges. Remember that only the player which was used to begin  
the viewing period will accurately track the elapsed time of the  
viewing period. Therefore, the 2nd player will repeat the  
authorization screen. Once the players call the Divx transaction  
processing system, your account information will be updated to  
correctly reflect the use of a single viewing period and no additional  
charges will appear on your statement.

4. Press OK (the rating limit appears next to the Rated Titles path  
menu).  
5. Press CLEAR to return to the main menu or press GO BACK to  
return to the previous menu screen.  
Example: If you set PG as the highest rating for Free Access (green),  
then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (thats the players number  
for PG in its 8-level system) and PG for the movie studios rating. This  
means when the player is locked, it will require you to enter the  
password to play any discs that are rated higher than PG (i.e., PG13  
or R).  
Note: If th e Ratin g Lim it Feature Doesn t Work  
In order for the Rating level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with  
the proper rating information. If the author of the disc did not encode rating  
information, then this feature will not work for that disc.  
What if a movies rating exceeds  
the players rating limit?  
The DVD Player must be locked in order for it to enforce the settings in the  
DVD Limits part of the Lock menu.  
The player alerts you when you try to  
play a movie with a rating that exceeds  
the limit youve set.  
Some discs are authored with a rating  
override feature included. When you  
play a disc with this feature, the  
message, Override Limit or Cancel  
Selection appears on the screen. If you  
choose to override the rating limit, you  
will need to enter your password to  
begin playback.

Handling Cautions  
Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn them all off.  
Do not move the player while a disc is being played, or the disc may be scratched or broken, and the players  
internal parts may be damaged.  
Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any small metal objects on the player.  
Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.  
Do not place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.  
Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this occurs,  
turn the player off and on again with the POWER button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to  
the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.  
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.  
Maintenance of Cabinet  
For safety reasons, 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 and dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole  
toward the outer edge.  
Handling Discs  
Do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.  
Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.  
Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. 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 them  
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.

Programming the Remote  
The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of  
remote controllable TVs, VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes.  
The remote is already programmed to control most RCA, PROSCAN,  
and GE TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers.  
Testing the remote  
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,  
turn a device ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and  
press the VCR1 button. Then press POWER or CH ^ (channel up) or  
CH v (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote  
commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.  
Programming the remote  
There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code  
search and direct entry.  
Using Automatic Code Search  
ON OFF  
VCR1  
DVD  
TV  
VCR2  
AUX SAT  
CABLE  
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to  
operate each of the components connected to your DVD Player. If  
you want to exit the automatic code search without programming any  
of your components, press CLEAR until the red light on the remote  
turns off.  
Red ligh t  
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, TV, etc.)  
2. Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, VCR2,  
etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold  
ON• OFF until the red light on the remote turns on, then release  
both buttons.  
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then  
wait 5 seconds or until the red light on the remote stops flashing.  
REVERSE  
PLAY  
STOP  
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to  
program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate  
does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search  
the next set of codes.  
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you  
have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of  
codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20  
times, then the remote cannot cant be programmed to operate  
that component.  
Youll use th ese button s wh en you  
program th e rem ote to operate a  
com pon en t.  
Th e rem ote m ay n ot operate all m odels  
of all bran ds.  
If the component you want to control does turn off:  
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this  
step until the device turns back ON.  
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the red light on the remote  
turns off.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.  
Modes of Operation  
Because this universal remote can control several different components  
(DVD player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered  
by the component buttons. For example if you want the remote to  
control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into  
TV mode before you could control the TV.  
This Is Important!  
You must continue pressing the  
component button while you enter the  
code.  
Note:  
This remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of  
components.  
Lets say you have a Zenith TV. To  
program the remote to operate the TV  
you would:  
Press and hold the TV button while you  
enter the first code listed for Zenith in  
the TV Codes column.  
Release the TV button. Press ON• OFF  
to see if the TV responds. If it doesnt,  
follow the same steps, but enter the  
second code instead of the first.

FCC Registration Information  
Your DVD Player is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15B and 68, FCC  
Rules and Regulations.  
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company/REN Number  
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating among other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer  
Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone  
company.  
The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all these  
devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected  
to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the  
REN, you should contact your local telephone company.  
Notes: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.  
Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are  
on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.  
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your equipment from your line.  
2. Rights of the Telephone Company/telephone netw ork information  
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall,  
where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not  
practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service  
immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such  
temporary discontinuance (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation and (3) inform you of your right to bring  
a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.  
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where  
such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these  
changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give  
you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service  
Industry Canada Information  
NOTICE: the Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain  
telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal  
Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the  
users satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local  
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The  
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some  
situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or  
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company  
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines  
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in  
rural areas.  
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric  
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
