ABOUT YOUR

DVD PLAYER

The following will help you get the most enjoyment from your DVD receiver system.

BEST LOCATION

The unit should be placed on a firm, flat surface, away from VCRs, stereos, radios, or large speakers, as the magnetic flux from these devices may cause distortion in the sound and a poor picture. If placed in a cabinet, be sure there is at least 1 of free space completely around the unit for proper ventilation.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE

A DVD receiver is a precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts become dirty or worn down, picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, regular inspection and maintenance are recommended every 1,000 hours of use, depending on the operating environment. Contact dealer for details.

PLAYABLE DISCS

This ELTAX DVD receiver system will play the following types of discs: DVD, MP3, CD, CD-R, and CD-RW with super-error correction ability. It is also capable of displaying picture CDs and digital photo albums. It supports eight languages, up to 32 subtitles, and multi-angle viewing. It features easy setup and operation with on-screen menus. It has full function CPU up grade able capability.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

The unit's coaxial output capability enables you to connect an external six-channel AV amplifier and processor with built-in Dolby Digital code and MPEG modulating capacity with just one cord. This enables you to conveniently enjoy different DVD, CD, and Mp3 discs.

ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT

Speaker system plug-and-play convenience through the built-in six-channel power amplifier eliminates the use of an external power amplifier.

LASER-HEAD OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION SYSTEM

To extend the service life of the laser head, the unit includes a unique laser-head over-current

protection system, ensuring a constant laser current.

USE OF DISCS

This page contains valuable information regarding the handling, cleaning, and storage of discs

played in this unit.

Handling

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Do not attach paper or tape to discs. Do not stick or write anything on the surface. Protect against fingerprints. Always hold a disc by the center and edge portions.

Cleaning

Fingerprints and dirt on the disc may cause picture and/or sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean. If you cannot wipe the dirt off, lightly use a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of solvent such as: Paint thinner, benzene, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs.

Storing

Do not store discs in places subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources. Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust. Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping.

NOTE:

ELTAX A/S is not responsible for damage that may occur to any disc that is operated in this unit or not handled, cleaned, or stored as suggested above.

OPERATING THE

REMOTE CONTROL

Battery Installation

1. Push down and out on the battery Compartment cover to remove it.

2. Insert the two AAA batteries into the battery compartment of the remote control, making sure the + and - signs on the batteries and inside the battery compartment match up.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Notes:

Do not mix batteries from different manufacturers, nor old ones with new. If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage-causing corrosion. Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent damage-causing corrosion. If battery leakage occurs, wipe the battery liquid from the battery compartment, then replace both batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time, using new, fully charged batteries. Life expectancy of batt eries m ay vary depending on amount of use.

Notes:

Do not direct the remote sensor toward any light source, such as direct sunlight or a strong fluorescent light, as it may cause the unit to not operate correctly. When other remote contr ols are u sed nearby or when the remote is used near

equipment using infrared rays, interference

may occur. Placing an object on the remote control may cause it to inadvertently depress a

button, changing a function and shortening

battery life. Do not glaze the front of the DVD receiver with colored glass, as it may cause interference with normal operation of the controller. Make sure there is no barrier between the remote control and remo te sens or, as it could prevent the unit from receiving the signal. Do not spill water or put wet items on the remote control. Never disassemble remote control.

Using the Remote Control

Point the remote control at the remote sensor

on the DVD receiver. When the signal is received from the remote, the unit will function accordingly. The remote will operate to approximately 16' from the remote sensor at an angle of around 30 each direction.

BATTERIES

INCORRECT USE OF BATTERIES MAY CAUSE THEM TO LEAK, CORRODE OR EXP LODE.
