Special features of your DVD player
Your DVD player provides you with perfect digital video playback in
studio quality.
It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback — in stereo or
with digital multi-channel sound — depending on the type of DVD and
audio system or stereo television.
Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and
language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording
angles. Your DVD player is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.
In addition to DVDs it can play MP3 CDs, JPEG encoded (photo) CDs,
KODAK picture CDs, video CDs, S-Video CDs and audio CDs.

4 Operating manual
Disc formats
Your DVD player can play back CD-R, CD-RW, VCD 2,0, Super VCD,
DVD R, DVD RW discs.
Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality
of the recording itself, it can occasionally occur that a home-made DVD
or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction of the DVD
player.
You have to finalise your own CD-R/-RW recordings.
Please remember that to create CD-Rs or CD-RWs the settings in your
burning program must conform to the ISO 9660 standard.
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 CDs (CDDA) meet the appropriate specification and bear the
corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not bear the logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY
___________________________
This DVD player is designed to playback video and audio signals from
compact discs (DVDs and CDs).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change 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 DVD.
The DVD player is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors,
make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing water.
Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the DVD player, or any cloth or similar items underneath it.
Do not place the DVD player directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.
Do not place the digital player close to heating units or in direct sunlight,
as this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD player.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage caused by incorrect handling.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player,
as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the DVD player.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player
is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the power plug during a thunder storm.
If the DVD player cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a 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.
Observe the local guidelines for disposing of packaging materials and recycling devices.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch
off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices.
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.

Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices.
Connecting the television
You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on
your television:
– For the best picture quality, connect the EURO-AV socket using a
fully assigned EURO-AV (SCART) cable.
– The standard connection for many devices, and one which pro-
vides good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the
AUDIO OUT RCA sockets.
– The simplest option which still offers sufficient quality is to connect
the VIDEO OUT socket and AUDIO OUT sockets using RCA cables.
Required adjustments to the television
After connecting up to the output sockets, they must be activated.
The setting procedure is described in the section ”Selecting the
video output (EURO AV/RGB or S-video)“ on page 16.
If the DVD player is connected to a television with a 16:9 screen
format, follow the setting procedures in the “Selecting the television screen format” section on page 17.
The colour standard of the DVD player must be matched to the colour standard of your television. The setting procedure is described
in the section “Setting the TV system (TV norm)“ on page 15.
Connect the socket »
EURO AV ©TV« directly to the television,
and not indirectly via a video recorder. This can cause difficulties
when playing back copy-protected CDs.

Connecting a digital multi-channel amplifier or
digital two-channel audio system
The digital multi-channel sound of a DVD can best be decoded and
played back with a multi-channel audio/video amplifier (Dolby*
digital decoder or DTS**).
1 Plug a standard RCA cable into the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT«
of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket on the
digital multi-channel amplifier;
or
remove the protective cap of the optical digital output and plug
an optical digital cable into the »
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« so-
cket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket of
the digital multi-channel amplifier.
Notes:
Keep the protective cap in a safe place and replace it on the
device if it is not to be used for a longer period of time.
Even if you are using a digital connection, you should still make
an analogue audio connection as it is possible, depending on
the disc type, that the signal cannot be output via the »
DIGI-
TAL AUDIO OUT
« socket (see page 14 for connection).
