Precautions

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your

player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation

slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may

become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD

player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power sup-

ply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the

wall outlet.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat

sources.

Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

Phones

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fire-

place) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speak-

ers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player mal-

functions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.

The battery used with this product contain chemicals that

are harmful to the environment.

Do not dispose of batteries in the general household

trash.

Use of this product is for personal use only.

Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold

temperatures.

If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours

until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

Connecting the Speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Position of the DVD Player

Selecting the Listening Position

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3

times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the

position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at

the same height as your ear.

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to face each other.

P.SCAN^{(Progressive Scan)}Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the

entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of

information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without

visible scan lines.

Press STOP button.

When disc is played back, press the STOP button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.

•

Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote control for over 5 seconds.

Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "Progressive Scan" and "Interlace Scan"

repetitively.

•

When you select P.SCAN, "P.SCAN" will appear on the display

•

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two inter-

laced fields (odd and even), where each field contains

every other horizontal line in the frame.

The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and

then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating

gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.

One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains

two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are dis-

played every 1/60th of a second.

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of

video consecutively down the screen, line by line.

An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the

interlaced scanning process by which a video image is

drawn in a series of passes.

The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing

with moving objects.

The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing

a still object.

Note

This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support

Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive

scan TVs.)

•

Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

Selecting the Video Format

Press and hold NTSC/PAL button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds while the power is turned off.

"NTSC" or "PAL" will appear in the display.

•

At this time, press the NTSC/PAL button shortly to select between "NTSC" and "PAL".

Each country has a different video format standard.

•

For normal playback, the video format of the disc must be the same as the video format of your TV.

Adjusting the TV Aspect Ratio (Screen Size)

The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of wide screen and high

definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different

screen sizes, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor.

✱ For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to

personal preference. Select "16:9" if you have a wide screen TV.

: Select this to view a 16:9 picture in the full-screen

mode on your wide screen TV.

• If a DVD is in the 4:3 ratio, you cannot view it in wide screen.

• Since DVD discs are recorded in various image formats, they will look different depending on

the software, the type of TV, and the TV aspect ratio setting.
