Introduction
Entertainment for the new millennium
Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect
digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital, multi-channel
audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle;
sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles (if
available on disc). Whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or
regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.
Digital Video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology
to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate
compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most
complex pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500
lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line .This resolution is
more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard.
This player can play both PAL and NTSC discs, presenting them in the
best possible way on your multi-standard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal
pictures on any TV screen.

Maintenance
– Do not expose the player or the batteries to humidity, rain and
excessive dust and keep them away from domestic heating equipment
and direct sunlight to prevent over-heating.
/
– In a cabinet, allow about 2.5cm (1 inch) of free space all around the
player for adequate ventilation.
– If the DVD-Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, wash the
CD/DVD lens with water before sending it for repair. Never use
alcohol or other unknown cleaning agents as they may damage 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 DVD-Video player in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
