Before Use (Continued)

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.

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multichannel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than Audio CDs with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz (compared to 44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data (compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multi-channel sound quality that is closer to the artist’s master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.

Note

To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Player). If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to CD-quality sound even though you’re playing a DVD Audio disc.

Moving to another GROUP	DVD-A	1/6

Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player enables you to quickly access different groups during playback via the on-screen display.

1Press OSD during playback on in stop mode.

2Press 3/4 to select Group icon.

3Press 1/2 or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a group number.

Note

Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden content that can only be accessed by entering a password. If the lock icon appears on the TV screen, enter the password (sometimes you’ll find it on the disc’s jacket cover or on a web site). This password control isn’t dictated by your DVD Player — it is a function of the disc. Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.

Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there are various ways to see what’s available on the disc.

1Press OSD during playback.

2Press 3/4 to select Page icon.

3Press 1/2 to select a page number.

What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc because the information available depends upon the way the disc was created.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

About WMA(Window Media Audio)

An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology.

WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in both the United States and other countries

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1.Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3), 22.05 - 44.1kHz (WMA)

2.Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 32 - 128kbps (WMA)

3.CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4.If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “EasyCD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5.A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6.File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” or “.wma” extension e.g. “********.MP3” or “********.WMA”.

7.Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.

8.Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD player requires discs/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). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also 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.

Caution

–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.)

Notes on JPEG Recordings

Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an onscreen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.

Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.

Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc.

When you are using software such as “Easy CD Creator” to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions when copying into the CD layout.

If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please rename them as “.jpg” files.

File names without “.jpg” extension will not be able to be read by this DVD player. Even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.

Caution

–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.)
