INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchaseing this DVD Home Theatre System. This deluxe theatre system includes everything you need to
experience movie theatre quality digital video and audio plus AM/FM radio reception in the comfort of your own home. The only
thing you need to add is your own TV. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, but please, review this manual before
you operate your system. Please have it handy while you are setting the system up; and keep it available for future reference, or
in the unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected questions or problems. We have tried to keep this manual as simple as
possible. It begins with how to connect the speakers, your TV, and other optional devices. It also includes instructions on how to
position the speakers for the most natural surround sound, and finally how to operate the DVD/CD player. If you follow the
instructions carefully you can have the system set up and start playing in less than an hour.
DVD players (and discs) have many features which are not available on any other movie playback medium (such as VHS or even
original films themselves).
In addition to the software on a disc being physically much smaller and easier to store than the older VHS format, the life span of a DVD
disc is much longer than a VHS tape and able to retain the movie for many more years. Additionally, the main point of DVDs is to allow
you to view the movies in your own customised way. The options are almost limitless for customised viewing from languages to angles
to scenes to speeds to sounds and track mixes, etc.
This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every
component in your system was perfect when it left our factory. If you experience any problem with the set up or operation of this
system, please review the Trouble Shooting Guide at the end of this manual.
All of the optional adjustable system settings have been pre-set at our factory for correct operation of the system. All you have to
do is to insert a disc, sit back, and enjoy a great home theatre experience.
Eventually you may want to change some of the optional settings like speaker balance or equaliser settings. A description of all
the optional settings, and instructions for changeing them, are found later in this manual.
Features & Benefits of DVD movies and players:
1.
Sharper, clearer pictures with greatly enhanced digital sound.
You will immediately notice the improvement over the older
VHS movie format.
2. Dolby Digital
This DVD player (and most discs) is Dolby Digital compatible,
which allows very sharp and crisp sound reproduction in your
home, especially useful, is the surround sound feature.
3. DTS
Digital Theatre System. Your home can become a virtual
cinema theatre with this system.
4. Multi-language compatible
Setup and subtitles can be displayed in many different
languages.
5. Parental Controls
Parents can lock out movies (by rateings) from being viewed by
children even if the parents are not at home.
6. Freeze Frame and frame by frame play
This is very useful for sporting events. Also slow motion play is
possible with this set.
7. Zoom feature allows you to zoom into a scene and still maintain
reasonable picture clarity (depending on the disc).
10. Directors Cuts
View special directors cuts and comments on some discs.
Many of these discs give a narration of what the director was
thinking about when he was filming a scene, as well as the
scene itself.
11. Scene Repeat
You can easily program your player to see a scene over and
over again without damageing the movie media.
12. Fast Play
This DVD Player can play at very high speeds (backwards
or forwards). This is very useful for quickly locateing
your favourite scenes.
13. MP-3 compatibility
This DVD Player can also play MP-3 encoded discs (most
formats are supported).
14. Audio CD compatibility
This DVD Player can also play audio (music) CDs thereby
saveing the expense of buying a separate CD player.
15. VCD format
Some small local stores may carry a VCD format of foreign
produced videos (this VCD format is not as sharp or versatile
as DVD disc movies). This set can play many of these foreign
VCD disc movies.
8. Time Search
This DVD player can locate an exact scene with a time search,
for example, you can go to a scene which is 15 minutes and 12
seconds into the movie directly.
9. SCART Connector
This set has a SCART output connector which provides the
clearest, sharpest pictures, even sharper than S-Video.
16. Regional Codes
This prevents discs designed for use only in some countries
from being played in other countries. The DVD Forum assigned
region numbers for different countries. Europe is Region 2
(this set can only play Region 2 DVD movies).
17. JPEG Compatibility
This DVD HOME THEATRE system also allows you to view
JPEG files or picture CDs.
