Playing DVDs and VCDs

The producer of the programme material can define the way in which the disc is played.
Consequently, you may sometimes find that, in some cases, you cannot control the
playback the way you wish using all of the functions and operations described in these
operating instructions.
We therefore recommend that you always read the reference material delivered with
the disc.

Never play anything but circular discs with a diameter of 3"(8cm)or5"(12cm).
Discs of other shapes may damage the player hardware.

Cleaning and care: Just use a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol or benzine.

Glossary of technical terms

As opposed to the digital processing method which only knows two states(1or0,onoroff),analogue

Analogue:

processes consist of a multitude of values at any range of infinitely variable steps. This multiplicity is
faced by the limited range of possibilities of storing and reproducing the relevant information.

Bitstream:

Brightness signal Y:

Colour difference signals:

Digital:

Dolby Digital:

42

Multiple-channel digital audio data prior to its decoding and assignment to the different channels.

Analogue video signal which carries the picture's luminance levels ( Y signal or luminance signal )
independent of the chrominance signal(C).Theresult is an improved resolution and higher colour
fidelity. This quality can be deployed only if the entire pathway of the signal is Y/C-separated.

The three signals red, green and blue can be converted into three different signals: luminance signal Y
( luminous density ) and two chrominance signals P /P or C /C ( colour difference signals ).

Digitising is a reduction of analogue states. However, due to their limits of perception human individuals
will not notice the reduction and therefore experience hardly any or no restrictions. The benefit of
digitisation is that digital data can be reproduced in any way but without any loss.

Method of encoding digital signals, developed by Dolby Laboratories. The signals can be either
conventional ( 2-channel ) stereo signals or 5.1-channel audio signals. The signals are very much
compressed in the process to enable recordings of large volumes of data.

WMA:

Sound system used in cinemas or movie theaters all over the world. The system is marked by high­quality sound separation ( 2-channel or 5.1-channel playback ).

MP3 or MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 is a file compression format used for digital audio files.
It provides files of an extremely small size and may cause a consequential loss of quality.

If you connect the player with this cable, the electronic signals will be converted into optical signals
before being output to the amplifier. This method reduces the noise produced by the electronic circuitry.

Red Green Blue: The RGB values allow you to define a hue.
The actual colour results from the intensity of red, green and blue portions of every pixel.
