Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service centre. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon.

Notes on discs

Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD Unit may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Unit’s lens.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

This unit 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.

BD-ROM Disc Features

BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.

BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.

Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.

Not all discs will have the features described below.

BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and DVD (or CD) layers on one side. On such discs, BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this player.

Video highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1. HD video resolutions are also available:

1920 x 1080 HD

1280 x 720 HD

Graphic planes

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to videorelated, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus.

For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required.

Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents.

Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

Menu sounds

When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.

Multi-page/PopUp Menus

With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages.

You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the audio and video remain playing in the background.

Interactivity

Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.

User Browsable Slideshows

With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the audio remains playing.

Compatibility Notes

•Because BD-ROM is a new format, certain disc, digital connection and other compatibility issues are possible. If you experience compatibility problems, please contact an authorized Customer Service Centre.

•Viewing high-definition content and up-converting standard DVD content may require a HDMI-capable input or HDCP-capable DVI input on your display device.

•Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict the use of some operation commands or features.

Certain System Requirements

For high definition video playback:

•High definition display that has COMPONENT or HDMI input jacks.

•BD-ROM disc with high definition content.

•HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your display device is required for some content (as specified by disc authors).

•For up-conversion of standard definition DVD, a HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your display device is required for copy protected content.

For Dolby® Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD multi-channel audio playback:

•An amplifier/receiver with a built-in (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS or DTS-HD) decoder.

•Main, center, surround speakers and subwoofer as necessary for chosen format.

Important Notice for TV colour system

The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing discs or video contents (YouTube, etc.).

For example, when the player plays back the disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image is outputted as a NTSC signal.

Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals outputted from the player.

Notes:

•If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images when using discs or video contents recorded in NTSC.

•The multi system colour TV changes the colour system automatically according to input signals. In case that the colour system is not changed automatically, turn it off and then on to see normal images on screen.

•Even if the disc and video contents (Youtube,etc.) recorded in NTSC colour system are well displayed on your TV, these may not be recorded correctly on your recorder.

General about connection

Picture and sound

Digital TV is a transmission technology that replaces the traditional analogue technique.

This means that several TV channels, radio channels and other digital services can be transmitted on the same space as just one channel took up before. As a consumer you get access to many more channels and services than before at the same time as they are received with perfect picture and audio quality.

Coverage

Before buying this product it is anticipated that you have made sure that there are digital transmissions covering your region.

Antenna / Signal source

Depending on the reception your unit may be connected to a simple indoor antenna or to an existing outdoor antenna system. If you live in a flat you should make sure that the digital terrestrial signals are distributed to your wall antenna outlet. If you have your own antenna system you must make sure that it is equipped with antennas, filter and/or amplifier that can handle those frequencies that the digital channels are transmitted on.

Cable-TV

Please observe that this unit is not designed for the reception of regular digital cable-TV signals (QAM-signal). Despite this, operators of smaller cable networks may have chosen to distribute the digital terrestrial signals (COFDM-sig- nal) in the network. In this case this unit may well be used.

Check with your landlord if you are insecure about what type of TV-signal that is provided in the wall antenna outlet.

SCART connection

Connect one end of the scart cable into the AV1 SCART jack (S) on the unit and other end to the corresponding in jack on your TV. You can get

Audio and Video signals together with this connection.

Rear of this unit

Component Video Connection

Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (C) on the player to the corresponding input jacks on the TV using Y PB PR cables.

Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT jacks (A) of the player to the audio left and right IN jacks on the TV using the audio cables.

Rear of this unit

Tip:

When you use COMPONENT VIDEO OUT connection, you can change the resolution for the output. (Refer to “Resolution setting” on page 20-21.)

Connecting a PAY-TV/Canal Plus Decoder

You can watch or record PAY-TV/Canal Plus programmes if you connect a decoder (not supplied) to the unit. Disconnect the unit’s mains lead from the mains when connecting the decoder. You do not need to turn on the unit to view the signals from the connected tuner on your TV.
