Set-Up and Safety

! SERVICE !! SERVICE !

Please note the following information when setting up your television set.

This television set is designed to receive and display video and audio
signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.

The ideal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal.
External light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.

Ensure sufficient clearance between the TV and the wall cabinet.

The television set is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the
open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or
splashing water. Do not expose the television set to any moisture.

If the television is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example
if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains
supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a disc.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may spill
liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Place the television set on a solid, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the television set or cloth or similar items beneath
it.

Do not place the television set close to heating units or in direct sunlight,
as this will impair cooling.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the operating life of the
television set. For reasons of safety, have a specialist remove any dirt
deposits in the set from time to time.
Keep the television set away from magnetic fields (loudspeaker boxes, for
example).

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. No warranty claims
are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged.

! SERVICE !

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the television
set is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or
the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during
a
storm.

Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment.

If the device is unable to scan discs perfectly, use a standard, commercially
available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods
may damage the laser optics.

Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting
on the laser optics.

Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Only use plain water.

Due to the difference in quality of the recording
media and the quality of the recording itself, it
can occasionally happen that a home-made
DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not
indicate a malfunction of the DVD
player.

You have to finalize your own CD-R and CD­RW recordings.

Note that the settings of your CD burning
program must meet the ISO 9660 standard in
order to create a CD-R or CD-RW.

When MP3 or JPEG CDs are played back,
individual tracks/pictures may be skipped or
incorrectly played back and displayed. This can
be due to the disc configuration, the encoder
software or the hardware
used for the recording.

Audio Discs (CDDA) correspond to the
specification and bear the corresponding
logo. Copy-protected Discs do not meet this
specification and do not bear the corresponding
logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

DVD features

You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the
label.
Depending on the content of the DVD, the
discs contain one or more titles.

Each title may contain one or more chapters.
Titles and chapters can be selected easily and
conveniently.

You can control the direct playback of a DVD
using the menu of the
DVD player on the television screen.

Special DVD features

DVDs have a title menu which provides an
overview of the available titles and the
passages they contain.

Some of the DVD player’s functions, such as
slow motion, freezeframe and auto-play, can
also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is
therefore possible that the freeze-frame
function, for example, cannot
be selected during certain scenes.

Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up
to eight languages. This enables you to select
the language you prefer.

Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer
with subtitles in several languages. You can
select subtitles from up to 32 different
languages.

Since films are released in different parts of
the world at different times, all DVD players
world-wide are given a regional code. The
regional code for your DVD player is 2.

DVDs may also be given a supplementary
regional code. If you insert a DVD with a code
different to that of the DVD player, a reference
to the regional code appears on the television
screen.
The DVD player will not be able to play back
the DVD.

S-VCD/VCD features

You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video Discs)
by the logo on the label.

Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD
(films, music videos
etc.), the discs may carry one or more tracks.

Like audio Discs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track
structure.

S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC
(playback control) system
for track navigation. This depends on the
processing and burning software used.

You can control the direct playback of the S­VCD/VCD using the menu on the television
screen.

You cannot select some of the functions (slow
motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when
you are playing an S-VCD/VCD. This depends
on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.

Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs
can have various
subtitles and dubbed languages.

DVD Mode

MP3 DISC features

MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
and arises from the Motion Picture Expert
Group (MPEG) Standard which was
developed for compressing film data.

The MP3 format enables audio files to be
saved on a computer with a sound quality
similar to that of a CD. This only requires
approx. 10% of the original data quantity.
The standard encoding bit rate
for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the
higher the bit rate of a an MP3 file, the
better the sound quality.

Most MP3 files on the Internet are
encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is
considered Discs quality.

MP3 files can be downloaded from the
Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM
disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3
tag from the file header, which contains
information on title and artist, and
display this in the info menu/status display.

MP3 Discs contain sound recordings.
They can be played in the normal manner
on an audio system. The digital signals
transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM
coded, regardless of the audio
output setting. The signals are output with
the same data rate as the music source
(possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps,
ideal: 128 kbps).

MP3 files can be organised into folders
and subfolders, similar to
files within a PC.

DivX CD Features

The Divx format enables video files to be
saved on a computer with a quality similar
to that of a DVD. DivX’s may contain
serevel subtitle files and you can select
one of those before starting playback from
a subtitle selection menu.

DivX files can be organised in to folders
and subfolders, similar to files within a
PC.

JPEG DISC features

JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts
Group. This process was designed to
compress picture files.

JPEG files can be burned onto a Discs
along with other file types. Such CDs are
known as file Discs or mixed mode Discs.
For example, the Discs could contain MP3
files (audio) and JPEG files (for example
to display album covers).

The files on a JPEG Discs can be
organised in directories. This structure is
similar to that of an MP3 Discs.

JPEG Discs only contain data in from of
the compressed JPEG format. This is
mostly data from digital cameras or from
imaging programs. The data (images) can
be displayed individually or in sequence
in a slide show.

Audio Disc features

An audio Discs is identified by this logo.
Audio Discs contain only sound
recordings. They can be played in the
normal manner on an audio system.
The individual tracks are stored in a
sequence. There are no folders.
