exposed to direct sunlight or where they are close
to sources of heat.
Do not store the discs where they may be
exposed to moist or dust, for example in a
bathroom or close to a humidifier.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Playing JPEG files

JPEG files contain picture information which can be encoded by micro computer software and transmitted to the
TV screen via a video output interface. This function is useful in many contexts. For example teachers can
change pictures to be shown in the classroom to JPG files by means of a digital camera or a scanner which are
often used within the IT world and transfer the pictures to CD-R discs. This will make things easier for the pupils
when the teachers play the discs via a TV set or other types of equipment in the classroom. It reduces the
repetitive work for the teachers, and the discs are easy to store (information on discs can be stored for more than
100 years). By means of a digital camera or scanner , families can transfer pictures to CD-R discs. If, for example,
a picture requires 100K bytes, one disc will hold about 6000 pictures. Manufacturers can show their customers
pictures of their products one by one.
Note: The actual contents vary from one type of disc to the other .

1. When a JPEG disc is loaded in the DVD-player, an automatic slide show will be launched.
Each picture will be displayed and scaled to fit the screen.

Press STOP to enter the file library.
Use the SCROLL key to navigate the pictures, and press PLAT or ENTER to display a picture.
When the a picture has been chosen, the slide show will resume with the next picture in the library.

2. Press ANGLE to rotate the picture. These operations are allowed only when a picture is being
displayed normally and will be cancelled automatically when a new picture is displayed.

3. Press ZOOM to execute the zoom function and select the zoom enlarging scale.
In zoom mode, press the SCROLL buttons to move the picture on the screen. With zoom mode off,
the next picture will be scaled to fit the screen.
Press PLAY to cancel the zoom mode and resume the slide show.

DVD CHARACTERISTICS

The DVD player is your ticket to a home cinema. Every single technical detail in this technology is better than in
any other previous AV equipment. This brand new digital technology compresses the A/V effect from the cinema
down on a disc with a diameter of 12 cm, i.e. the size of a CD. Particularly by means of Dolby Digital and DTS, it
is possible to achieve excellent digital surround sound. The DVD player can also be used with the existing CDs,
CD-Rs and CD-RWs (however, it cannot be used with all CD-RW discs).
