Important Safety Instructions

17) If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Selection 810-21 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

18) An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead pow er lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can f all into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

19) Unpl u g t h is L CD T V from the w all outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or fray ed. b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV. c. If the LCD TV ha been exposed to rain or water. d. If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the oper ating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may

NOTE:

This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S .A. and other countries where the broadcasting system and

•

AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A.

The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such

is not covered by W arranty. This product is not designed to displa y fix ed image patterns for e xtended periods of time.

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Caption or Other Fixed Image Displays.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD panel. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps: A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level. B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time. C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Installation

Receiver Location

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen. Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range. Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture. To insure optimum picture do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.

Optional External Equipment

The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance, Antenna cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store. Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.

For optimum quality picture

When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.

Handling precautions

Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled with fingerprints.

•

Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and distortion. Do not write on the label side.

•

Do not use record cleaning spramire.

96 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converter

•

This player enables 96 kHz/24 bit linear PCM signals, the highest specifications in DVD standards, to be reproduced faithfully. To support 96 kHz sampling/24 bit sound, the shaping noise of this multilev el digital sigma type D/A con v erter is kept flat up to 44 kHz, thus preventing the audio signals from being affected in any wa y. This means sound is reproduced f aithfully.

Note

• Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts interface may not work properly with the DVD/Video CD/CD player.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

• The digital theater systems (dts) is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theatres around the world. It allows the bit rate to be increased in order to provide good sound quality without excessively compressing the data.

• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolb y Pro Logic Surround decoder , y ou will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

• The digital audio output connector (optical) converts electrical signals into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical signals are immune from electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on other equipment.

Caution for the optional/coaxial digital audio output connector:

• Do not connect to the digital audio input of an amplifier that does not have Dolby Digital/dts/MPEG audio decoder.

• If such an amplifier should be connected to the player with “Bitstream” selected at the “2 Dolby digital”, “3 DTS Digital Surround” (see page 61), any attempt to pla y D VDs (or CDs recorded in dts) may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

• Video CDs and CDs can be pla yed as they would normally be played.

Half of the video information (video signal) in a frame is called a field. With conventional TV systems, a signal frame (a single screen) consists of two fields.

Field still

Only one field (half of the video information) is displayed on the TV screen, so the apparent resolution is low. However, there is no blurring on the screen.

Frame

Individual images in a video or on the TV are called fr ames.

The two fields are displayed, alternately, on the TV screen, so the image is blurry. However, the image quality is better than field images.

The MPEG 2 standard adopted for DVD uses the following 3 picture types for the coding of each picture (frame) on the TV screen.

I:I-Picture (Intra coded picture)

This is the standard picture type, and each picture is coded separately.

P:P-Picture (Predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed on the basis of a past I-Picture or P-Picture.

B:B-Picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed by comparing the previous and subsequent I-Picture or P-Picture. It has the lowest volume of information.
