Special features of your DVD player

Your DVD player provides you with perfect digital video playback of 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 the 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.

As well as DVDs, Nero Digital™-CDs, DivX

Video-CDs, MP3 CDs, JPEG coded (photo) CDs, KODAK Picture CDs, Video-CDs, S-Video-CDs and audio-CDs can also be played back.

Scope of delivery

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 happen 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. Make sure the settings of your CD burning program correspond to the

ISO 9660 standard to create a CD R or CD RW. When DivX

Video or Nero Digital™ or MP3 or JPEG CDs are played back, individual tracks/pictures may be skipped or incorrectly played back/displayed. This can be due to the disc configuration, the encoder software or the hardware sued for the recording.

Audio CDs (CDDA) correspond to the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not correspond to this specification and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY

___________________________

Please note the following information when setting up your DVD player: This DVD player is designed to play video and audio signals from compact

discs (DVD and CD). 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 in the open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.

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 articles 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.

Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD player. Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances.

Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper 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.

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 mains plug during an electrical 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.

This DVD player is designed to the highest technological and environmental standards. Only environmentally-friendly, high-quality materials have been used. The batteries included contain no mercury or cadmium. The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. This DVD player is designed so that it can be easily disassembled to aid servicing and recycling.

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.

Note:

Connecting a television or flat screen

You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on your television or flat screen:

– You get the best picture quality by making the connection at the

EURO-AV socket using a fully assigned EURO-AV cable.

– The standard connection for many devices, and one which provi-

des good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets.

– The simplest option which still offers sufficient quality is connecting

to the video socket and the audio sockets with a cinch cable.

Necessary adjustments to the television or the flat screen

After you have made the connections at the selected output sockets, you must activate them. The setting procedure is described in the ”Selecting the video output socket (EURO AV/RGB or S-video)” section on page 16.

If the DVD player is connected to a television set or a flat screen with a 16:9 format, observe the settings described in the ”Selecting the television format” section on page 17.

The colour standard of the DVD player must be matched to the colour standard of your television or flat screen. The setting procedure is described in the section ”Setting the TV system (TV norm)” on page 16.

Connect the »EURO AV

➞

TV« socket directly to the television or

the flat screen, and not indirectly via a video recorder. This can cause difficulties when playing back copy-protected DVDs/CDs.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

Connection using a EURO-AV (Scart) cable

1 Plug the EURO-AV cable supplied into the »EURO AV ➞TV«

socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket of the television or flat screen.

Connection using a Y/C (S-VIDEO) cable or a cinch cable (picture signal) and a cinch cable (audio signal)

1 Plug a standard Y/C cable into the »S VIDEO OUT« socket

of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (S VIDEO IN) of the television or flat screen;

plug a standard cinch cable into the »VIDEO OUT« socket on the DVD player and the corresponding socket (VIDEO IN) on the television or flat screen.

2 Plug standard cinch cables into the »AUDIO OUT L R« sockets

of the DVD player and the appropriate sockets (AUDIO IN) on the television or flat screen.

Connecting a 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 cinch cable into the »DIGITAL AUDIO

OUT« socket on the DVD player and into the appropriate

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 output »DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT« 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 put it back in place 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 no signal can be output via the »DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT« socket (For the connection, see page 14).

Connecting an audio system with analogue two-channel stereo sound

As an alternative to using the television’s speakers, the sound can also be played back through an audio system. This can improve audio playback.

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »AUDIO OUT L R«

socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket on the audio system.

Caution:

Do not connect the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket on the DVD player to the PHONO (record player) input socket on the audio system.

Connecting the power cord

1 Plug the power cord into the wall socket.

Note:

Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices.

Inserting batteries in the remote control

1 Open the battery compartment by pressing the snap-catch, and

remove the lid.

2 When inserting the batteries (Micro type, e.g. R06 or AA,

2 x1.5 V), observe the polarity marked on the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment.

Note:

If the DVD player no longer reacts properly to remote control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to remove used batteries. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from used batteries.

Environmental note:

Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.
