INSTALLATION

Player Zones

For the purpose of distribution of DVD Discs, the world has been
separated into 6 zones. The zone your unit is intended for is
indicated on the Zone Label. This should be the same as the
label on discs available in your region. If you have any difficulties
in playing a disc, make sure that the disc is for the same zone
as your player.

Anti-Copy Disc Protection

Some DVD discs have anti-copying devices.

With these discs the playback on a Television will give the highest
quality picture, however you will not be able to record this signal
on a VCR.

• Install your unit on a stable flat surface. There must be suffi­cient room in front of the unit for the drawer to be opened and
the unit should be positioned so that it can see the remote
control.

• Do not expose your unit to extremes of temperature or humidity.

• Avoid standing it on a hot surface such as on top of other hot
running equipment and ensure that there is adequate ventilation
to the unit.

Caution:

Do not install this equipment in confined space such
as a book case or similar unit!

DVD Discs

There are several types of DVD Disc:

Single-sided discs plays for approximately 2 Hours
Single-sided disc with 2-layer plays for approximately 4 Hours
Double-sided disc plays for approximately 4 Hours
Double-sided disc with 2-layer on both sides plays for approximately 8 Hours

DVD discs have Titles and Chapters:

* There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can

contain several Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered,
e.g. Title 1, Title 2, Chapter 1 and etc.

* Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio logos.

The next Title will be the film. Other Titles contain trailers for
other films, production notes, or alternative endings for the
film. There are many possibilities with Digital Versatile Disc.

* Chapters within the main Title allow you to search quickly for a

specific point on the disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu
sometimes called Scene Index or Scene Menu that displays
the first shot from each Chapter, which allows you to select a
shot and play the disc from that point onwards.

DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player can play both
types (if the player zone is correct).

DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a single
disc. You can select and change the language and subtitle to
suit yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view
it from different angles.

Cleaning Disc

Picture freezing & sound skipping or repeating can occur if the
disc inside the player is dirty.

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.

• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can cause
picture distortion or render the disc unplayable.

Caution:
