Transportation

Although this portable player comes with high excellent suspension design, it’s
highly recommended to remove the disc from the device during transportation
to prevent the disc from scratching. The power should be turned off and the
power cord should be unplugged if you’re going to transport the player.

Installation

A stable platform is better for the player reading data from discs; do not settle
the player on top of a TV nor a CRT monitor. Magnetic force is also what you
have to take into consideration when finding a proper portion, any devices with
magnetism may affect the function and operation of the player.

Placement

Do not place any object on the player, the TFT panel is extremely fragile and
any pressure may cause unrecoverable damage to it.

Power

It would be better to turn off the power of player when it’s not in use; it’s
helpful to extend the lifespan of the player and prevent interference to TV
image especially when they are connected.

Safety

It is strongly recommended not using the player while driving.

Some countries and states have laws to prohibit or severely restrict the use of
the player in vehicles, airplanes, and hospitals.

Do not leave the player or the battery pack in places with extremely high (60ºC
and above) or extremely low (-10 ºC and below) temperature. This kind of
extreme environment may seriously damage the quality of the player such as
warping the outer case or reducing the lifespan of battery pack.

Cleaning

Mostly you just need to clean the player with a soft and dry cloth; for tough dirt,
just get some neutral detergent diluted in 5 or 6 parts water to a soft cloth and
wring out thoroughly, wipe out the dirt and then wipe the player again with a
dry cloth immediately.

Note that alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides, etc., may cause failure to the
coating and printing on the surface. Please also avoid leaving rubber or plastic
stuffs in contact with the player for long periods, as this may damage the
cabinet.

Last but not least, always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
cleaning the player.

2. Introduction

2.1.

Thank you for purchasing this Portable DVD Player. This Portable DVD Player
goes with excellent reading capabilities and supports various CD/DVD formats
widely. It allows you to enjoy watching your favorite movies in a much
luxurious way. In this manual, we will explain how to have it work correctly and
properly. Please read this manual carefully before using the player.

2.2.

Excellent Compatibility

This portable player supports almost all major CD/DVD formats you can ever
find. It also offers full compatibility to your former CD discs. What’s more, this
player even supports JPEG CD for you to share your happy memories with your
friends and family.

Rock-solid Reliability

An improved anti-shock design theatrically increases the reliability. Optimum
power control continually monitors signal levels during reading data from discs
and adjusts laser power to compensate for those discs in bad condition. This
improvement ensures a stable data flow read of discs, significantly enhancing
the reliability.

Compact size

Outstanding ID design accomplishes the compact size. And the nice portability
also makes it convenient to enjoy the movies anytime and anywhere. A home
theater or even a personal theater is no longer a dream.

Overview

Main Features

Slot-In Design

This portable player is designed with an outstanding slot-in loading mechanism,
which is more convenient for your usage and take less space during operating.
Unlike classic tray-type DVD player, no any tray or laser will pop-up in front of
you, which also means no part of this device is potentially damaged.

Silent Operation

Most of the time, a DVD-ROM or DVD players generate annoying noise while
reading discs. The special design of this portable player operates in a silent
way during the playback. No more disagreeable noise occurs when you enjoy
the movies in the still of night.
