Introduction
Your DVDR313 design combines the function a quality of a DVD player and recorder. As a
DVD player, you will be able to enjoy full length movies with true cinema picture quality, and
stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the disc and your playback system). Unique
features of this player include YUV & S-video outputs for greater picture quality.
What's more, as a DVD Video Recorder, it has some of the key features that allow you to
record programs conveniently such as:
A complete DVD+R/DVD+RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW recorder.
Preset recording
Playback of pre-recorded or user-recorded DVDs and CDs
View, edit and play from a pre-recorded DVD+RW/DVD-RW.
UNPACKING
When shipping the player, the original shipping carton and packing comes in handy. For maximum
protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory. It is normal for your changer tray to
partially open after you have unpacked the unit. This is a feature designed to allow easier access to disc
inside the tray during diagnostics.
First check and identify the contents of your player package, as listed below:
- DVDR313
- Remote control
- RCA cables (3) x 2 (1 yellow, 1 red, 1 white)
- Owner's manual
- Size AAA batteries (2)
If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.
Keep the packaging materials as you may need them to transport your player in the future.
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR DVD RECORDER
1. Place the unit on a firm, flat surface.
2. When you place this player near a radio or VCR the playback picture may become poor and/or
distorted. In this situation, move the DVD video player away from the other units.
3. Keep away from direct sunlight & domestic heating equipment.
4. If placed in a cabinet, please allow at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space around the player for
proper ventilation.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE
This player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (i.e. cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

2. Insert two size AA batteries according to the
"+" and "-" markings.
3. Make sure the batteries have been properly
installed, then close the battery compartment cover.
Notes:
Do not mix different types together, or old
batteries with new batteries.
If the remote control will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent corrosion.
To prevent corrosion resulting in damage,
remove exhausted batteries immediately. When
the remote control appears not to operate
normally, replace both batteries.
Typical life for the batteries provided with this
product is about 6 months. The life expectance
may vary according to the use status.
APP: 5M
Use of the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote
sensor on your DVD home theatre centre. Upon
receipt of the signal from the remote controller, the
equipment will operate accordingly.
The description in this Manual is based on the
buttons on the equipment. You may use the
counterparts on the remote controller to do the same.
Notes:
Do not place this equipment in a place exposed
to direct sunlight or strong light source like inverting
fluorescent light, or else it may interfere with correct
operation of the remote controller.
When other similar remote controller is used in
the same room, or when this product is used near
other equipment using infrared ray, interference with
the operation of this remote controller may occur.
Do not place any object on the remote controller,
or else it may cause unintentional depression of the
buttons and waste the batteries unnecessarily.
The front of the chassis should not be glazed
with colour glass, or else it may cause interference
with normal operation of the remote controller.
Any barrier between the remote controller and
remote sensor will inactivate any operation of the
remote controller.
The operating range between the remote
controller and the equipment shall be no more than
5 meters (16 inches). When the operating range
becomes shorter, replace the batteries with new
ones.
