WARNING
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce
life drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the
mass of the set via a wrist wrap with
resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.

WAARSCHUWING
AVVERTIMENTO
NL
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor elektrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie
kan de levensduur drastisch doen
verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semiconducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges
statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution
n’est prise a leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être
relié au même potentiel que la masse de
l’appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d’une
résistance de sécurité.
Veiller a ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également a ce
potentiel.
Alle IC und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegen elektrostatische
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung bei der Reparatur
kann die Lebensdauer drastisch vermindern.
Sorgen sie dafür, das Sie im Reparaturfall
über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand mit
dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden
sind.
Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls
auf diesem Potential.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition
and that parts which are identical with those specified be used.
NL
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkelijke
toestand wordt terug gebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de
gespecifieerde worden toegepast.
F
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis a l’état d’origine et
que soient utilisées les pièces de rechange identiques à celles spécifiées.
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevita potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della piu
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello
della massa dell’apparecchio tramite un
braccialetto a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli
utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a
questo potenziale.
D
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu beachten.
Der Originalzustand des Gerats darf nicht verandert werden.
Fur Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.

Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso nelle
condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati pezzi di ricambiago idetici a quelli
specificati.
SHOCK, FIRE HAZARD SERVICE TEST:
CAUTION: After servicing this appliance and prior to returning to customer, measure the resistance between
either primary AC cord connector pins (with unit NOT connected to AC mains and its Power switch ON), and the
face or Front Panel of product and controls and chassis bottom,
Any resistance measurement less than 1 Megohms should cause unit to be repaired or corrected before AC
power is applied, and verified before return to user/customer.

Environmental Information
¶ Your system consists of materials which can be recycled
and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please
observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of
packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.
Safety Information
¶ Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand
or heat sources.
¶ Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
¶ Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment
and direct sunlight.
¶ In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
¶ If the DVD Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly,
use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the
lens before taking the DVD Video player to be repaired.
Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep
the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
¶ The lens may cloud over when the DVD Video player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a
CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the power on for
about one hour with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible.
Cleaning Discs
¶ When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre out, in a straight line.
¶ Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.

NTSC/PAL Setting s
You can switch the NTSC/PAL setting of the DVD player to
match the video signal of your TV. This setting only affects
the television’s on-screen display that shows the stop and
setup modes. You may select either NTSC or PAL. To
change the DVD player setting to PAL or NTSC, follow the
steps below.
1
Unplug the DVD player from the mains.
2
Press and hold 9 and T, on the front of the DVD player.
While holding 9 and T, plug in the mains.
3
After PAL or NTSC appears on the display of the DVD
player, release 9 and T at the same time. The PAL or
NTSC indicator that appears on the display indicates the
current setting.
4
To change the setting, press T within three seconds. The
new setting (PAL or NTSC) will appear on the display.

– Slight picture distortions may occur due to this conversion.
This is normal. Thus, the AUTO format is most suitable for the
best picture quality.
General Explanation
About this manual
This manual gives the basic instructions for operating the
DVD player. Some DVDs require specific operation or
allow only limited operation during playback which may not
respond to all operating commands. When this occurs, the
symbol Ä appears on the TV screen, indicating that the
operation is not permitted by the player or the disc.
Remote control operation
¶ Unless stated, all operations can be carried out with the
remote control. Always point the remote control directly at
the player, making sure there are no obstructions in the
path of the infrared beam.
Corresponding keys on the front panel of the player can
also be used.
Menu bar operation
¶ A number of operations can be carried out via the menu
bar on the screen. The menu bar can be accessed by
pressing the cursor keys on the remote control.
¶ Pressing SYSTEM MENU while the menu bar is displayed
will clear the menu bar from the screen.
¶ The selected item will be highlighted and the appropriate
cursor keys to operate will be displayed below the icon.
¶ The symbols < or > indicate more items are available at
the left/right of the menu bar. Press 1 or 2 to select these
items.
