Caring for Optical Discs

Handling of Discs:

Please hold the disc by gripping the rim or by placing the index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface, which is shiny. This applies to both sides of double sided discs.

Cleaning of Discs:

Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss. Depending on the degree of the stain, the reflected luminosity from the signal surface may be weakened, resulting in degraded picture quality. Therefore, please use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.

If the surface of your disc is very dirty, please wipe the disc with a moist cloth, followed by a dry soft cloth to remove all water stains.

Labeling Side

Surface

Labels

Never use electrostatic prevention products or solutions which contain benzene, thinner or any other vaporizing substances, as they may damage the disc surface.

Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface.

Tapes

Storage of Discs:

To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.

Please thoroughly read the "Instruction Points for Attention" on the discs.

Cleaning the DVD Player:

The control panel and the case of the player will only require occasional wiping with a soft cloth. Areas with stubborn stains can be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent. To prevent damaging the player, never use vaporizing solutions.

Disc Accessories:

Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may cause problems.

Preparing and Using the Remote Control

Installing the Batteries

If the remote control only operates when you get closer to the DVD Player, it may mean the batteries are weak. Please replace the two batteries simultaneously with two new batteries (Size AAA, R03, 1.5V) of the same type. Please note the positive (+) and negative (-) polarity shown inside the battery compartment on the remote.

1. Push down and then outwards to remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert Batteries following polarity marked inside compartment.

3. Slide Cover back into place.

R03 1.5V

Important Note about Batteries



Connecting the DVD Player to your TV / Receiver

Determining the Video & Audio Connections You Will Use

The first step to using your new DVD Player is to make the cable connections that will allow you to see the video and hear the audio on your TV and optional Stereo or Digital Receiver. Your DVD Player has multiple Video and Audio outputs. Generally, you will only use one Video and one Audio output and any one time. The type of outputs you use will be determined by the capabilities of your Television or receiver. It is recommended that you use the highest quality output that your TV or receiver will support.

Television Connections (One Required)

In order to use your DVD Player, your TV must support at least one of the Video Input types shown below. To get started, identify the best Video Connection shown below that your TV offers and proceed to that section. If you are using your TV’s speakers for audio, rather than a separate receiver or amplifier, you will use the Stereo Audio In, outlined in sections 1 and 2.
