Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs

INTRODUCTION

Before Use (Cont’d)

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic­ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen­ter out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.

To keep the exterior surfaces clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made,
this unit passes each type of signal through without any
further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its
capabilities.

Press / to adjust the Distance of the selected
speaker.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound­track in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to a
movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound.
Set DRC to On for this effect.

• Bit rate: within 32 - 320kbps (MP3),
40 - 192kbps (WMA)

• The player cannot read an MP3/WMA file that has a
file extension other than “.mp3” / “.wma”.

• CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660

• If you record MP3 / WMA files using software that
cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is
impossible to playback MP3 / WMA files. We rec­ommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which cre­ates an ISO 9660 file system.

• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and
must incorporate an .mp3 or .wma extension.

• They should not contain special letters such as / ?
* : “ < > l etc.

• The total number of files on the disc should be less
than 999.

This DVD player requires discs and recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically set to these standards. There are many
different types of recordable disc formats (including
CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require
certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure
compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.
