Caution for AC Mains Lead

Glossary

(For United Kingdom)

(“EB” area code model only)

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

Getting started

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF— KEEP DRY. Before use

Remove the connector cover.

How to replace the fuse

The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the AC mains plug fitted and follow the instructions below. Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.

1 Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.

B, PR) allow you to enjoy

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

[Note]

Speaker

(SB-DP1)

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from

falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.

≥Place speakers on flat secure bases. ≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result

in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you

play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

–When playing distorted sound. –When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,

noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an

oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument. –When adjusting the sound quality. –When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Caution ≥Use the speakers only with the recommended system.

Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/ or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output (➡ page 10) and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (P

B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in

order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P

B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals
