7. Please note the included portable antenna may only be used in areas where

signal is very strong. There may be difficulties in receiving signal with the

portable antenna in some regions at present, this is due to the fact that

Freeview (www.freeview.co.uk) is yet to operate in full power in the UK.

The government aims to achieve a full switchover by 2012, which will

occur in stages, region by region between 2008 and 2012, at present the

quality of Freeview reception varies in different regions across the UK.

As mentioned on the Freeview website, only 73% of the UK population is

able to receive Freeview at present and only a small number of households

might be able to use a set top aerial at present. This only applies if you live

in an area with coverage close to a transmitter, but reception would still be

unreliable and they strongly recommend that you use a roof top aerial for

good reception.

The reception will be improving along with the progress of the Digital

Switchover Program. Reception may also be affected by various factors

such as how close you are to transmitters, tall buildings, thick walls,

ceilings and weather etc.

common phenomenon of active matrix display technology, and does

24-bit/192KHz D/A Converter

This is the latest converting technology which can apply for 192KHz sampling
rate and 24-bit data soft. The dynamic range of 48 decibel is better than the
traditional 16-bit CD code.

Laser Lens Power Protection System

The laser lens is the most important part of the DVD Player which affects the
unit life and error correction. When reading scratched or non-standard discs,
the laser strength will be up to 24 times as powerful. This dramatically
decreased the life of the laser lens. The laser lens protection system of this unit
ensures the stability of the laser power and increases the life of the laser lens.
