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 MP4 video CDs, Nero Digital™ CDs,
MP3 CDs, JPEG encoded (photo) CDs, KODAK picture CDs, video
CDs, S-Video CDs and audio CDs.
The file formats can also be played via the USB input – from a memory stick or a digital camera.

HDMI transmission
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) transfers digital audio
and video data via a cable without additional file compression. This
means there is no loss in quality.
The bandwidth for video data is up to 165 MHz.
Audio data is transmitted at frequencies of up to 192 kHz with word
widths of up to 24 bits on up to 8 channels.
The data is transferred at a speed of up to 5 gigabytes per second.
Even with complex pictures and fast movements, there are no artefacts
caused by transmission.
If your television has a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) input, this is not a
problem. This is because HDMI is based on DVI and is downwards
compatible with it.
This means that DVI signals can be transferred via the HDMI interface
(using a DVI-HDMI adapter cable), albeit without audio signals. You
can feed the audio signal to the television using the »
DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT
« (digital audio signal) socket.
Compatibility is also ensured by HDMI using the same copy protection method as DVI.
Digital copies cannot be made using HDMI.
This is prevented by the HDCP system (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection).
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 MP4 video, Nero Digital
™, 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 (CD-DA) 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 play back 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 absolutely sure it and the power supply unit are 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 DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as
this will impair cooling.
When setting up the DVD player, note that furniture is often coated with
various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain chemical additives.
These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave
stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to
remove.
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.
Note:
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
