DISC COMPATIBILITY / CARE

Optical Disc compatibility

This unit plays DVDs recorded for a particular region.



The region mark on the back of the player must



correspond to that on any DVD discs you wish to play.
Units sold in North America are coded for Region 1,
and marked as shown:

This unit supports CD-R/RW discs recorded with MP3



or JPG files, and in VCD format.
MP3 files must be named with the extension “.MP3”



JPG files must be named with the extension “.JPG”



JPG images must be saved with “standard” encoding,



rather than “progressive” encoding.
Discs created with personal computers may have



problems playing due to differences in recording
software settings, disc formats and other factors.

JPG

Caring for Optical Discs

Hold a disc by the rim or with an index finger in the



central hole. Never touch the signal surface.
Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may



cause signal loss.
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.

Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be



careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface.
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.

Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio



quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These
products may damage the disc surface.

LCD MODE

Change the LCD MODE to match the player’s LCD screen to
the movie you’re watching. For 16:9 or ANAMORPHIC
Widescreen movies, the default setting of 16:9 WIDESCREEN
is used.

However, if you’re watching a 4:3 “Full Screen” movie, change
this setting to 4:3 NORMAL to simulate the aspect ratio of a
normal TV screen. This prevents the movie from appearing
stretched horizontally.

"FULLSCREEN" movies, which are formatted to fill the FULL-
SCREEN of a normal TV, must be viewed with bars on the sides
to obtain the correct aspect ratio and avoid a stretched picture.
Fullscreen movies show less detail than Widescreen movies.
