Care and Safety Information

DANGER!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to quali ed
personnel.

Setup

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, hard and stable

surface. Do not place the set on a
carpet.

– Do not put any equipment or heavy

objects on top of the set.

– Do not position the set on top of

other equipment that might heat it up
(such as receiver or ampli er).
Do not put anything under the set

–

(such as CDs, magazines).

– Install this unit near the AC outlet and

where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with

5cm (2.0")

10cm (4.0")

10cm (4.0")

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc
inside the player is dirty (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions).
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro  bre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog
discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the
DVD player operates at a higher power
than regular DVD or CD players,
cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD
players may damage the optical unit
(laser). Therefore, refrain from using a
cleaning CD.

5cm (2.0")

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,

water and dust

– Apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

– Do not place any sources of danger

on the apparatus (such as liquid  lled

Frequently Asked Questions (USB)

Why does it take so long to display the
contents on my USB device?

– This could be due to the large numbers

of  les (>500  les/folders) or size of the
 les (>1MB.)

– There could be other non-supported  les

in the device that the system is trying to
read/display.

What if un-supported devices (e.g. USB
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into
the player?

– The device may cause the player to be

unstable. Remove the unsupported
device and unplug the mains cord. Wait
for a few minutes before reconnecting
the mains cord and power on the player
again.

What happens when I plug in a USB
HDD?

– HDD is not supported as the large

storage capacity makes navigation very
dif cult. Transfer the music  les (mp3)
and photos (jpg) into a  ash drive.

Why does the system fail to detect my
USB portable music player?

– The portable music player may require

propriety software that is bundled with
our player in order to access the
contents (eg. playlist.)

Why can’t some devices be playback
from USB Port on my player?

– USB Port only offer 500mA current,

could not power up HDD players which
require more current.

– Device which shows USB Mass Storage

Device might actually be USB Hub when
detect in USB analyser.

– Devices in NTFS format can’t be

supported.

– Devices require drivers to be installed

will not supported by this player. They
are not UMS or MTP devices, which does
not require any driver installation or start
up disc. When in UMS or MTP mode, the
device is treated as an external HDD or
portable device.

50

What types of  le does the player
support?

– We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not

NTFS.

Why does the  le name appear to be
different from what was displayed on my
computer (e.g. from “Good Bye. jpg” to
“Good_B~1.jpg”)?

– The length of the  le name is restricted

by the  le system of the device (FAT16),
which only supports eight (8) characters.

– The computer may be able to display the

full  le name as the operating system can
convert the  le system.

Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback
possible?

– This is not possible due to memory

limitation. In addition, a different user
interface will be needed in order to
function and in order to be simple
enough to use.

Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my
device?

– In order to rotate the pictures in the

USB device, the picture must contain
EXIF information, stored by most digital
cameras. This EXIF information may
have been removed when you edit or
copy the picture from other devices using
editing programs.

Why can’t the player play some of my
music  les, photos or movies?

– The music  les may not be playable

because of different formats and encoding
bit-rates. Similarly, the photos may be of
low resolution or too high resolution for
the player to support.
