NOTE
Copy Guard Protection:
When the DVD player audio/video output is plugged into
the A/V input jacks of a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)
using the audio/video cables, (red, white and yellow
RCA jacks) poor picture quality may result (i.e. screen
on TV getting brighter and dimmer) due to Macrovision
copy guard protection contained on some DVD discs.
NOTE
When the DVD player is used with the battery as a
power source, ensure that the battery has been charged
for at least eight hours prior to connecting it to the DVD
player. In certain situations connecting a low charged
battery to the DVD player can result in a lock up of the
DVD player Controls. If this occurs, unplug the battery
from the DVD player and let the unit sit for 10 minutes
before plugging into the AC Adapter or connecting a
fully charged battery.
NTSC/P AL Viewing Area Standards
This player was configured to meet the
broadcasting standard used in your country or area while in the factory . Under normal conditions, you need not adjust the
P AL / NTSC setting. Most of Asia (excluding China) and the Americas use the
NTSC broadcasting standard. Europe, Japan, and China / Hong Kong use the P AL
broadcasting standard. If you use this
product in an area using a standard different from your own, simply turn off the
power, select the appropriate NTSC/PAL
setting on the back of the player, then turn
back on the power. V iewing disc programs
on hook up TVs with different broadcasting standard will yield
poor image quality.
