Care and safety information

● Power consumption

– When the system is switched to
Standby mode, it is still consuming power.
To disconnect the system from the power
supply completely, remove the AC power
plug from the wall jack.

● Avoid high temperatures, moisture,

water and dust

– Do not expose the player, batteries or
discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive
heat (caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight).

● Avoid condensation

– The lens may cloud over when the
player is suddenly moved from cold to
warm surroundings, making it impossible
to play a disc. Leave the player in the
warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.

● Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD Player in an
enclosed cabinet. Allow about 10 cm (4
inches) of free space around the player for
adequate ventilation.

● Care of the cabinet

– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use a
solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.

● Finding a suitable location

– Place the player on a flat, hard, and
stable surface.

● Disc handling

–To clean a CD, wipe it in a
straight line from the center
toward the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. A cleaning
agent may damage the disc.
– Write only on the printed
side of a CD-R/CD-RW and only with a
soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge; do not
touch the surface.

Deactivate Progressive Scan
manually

The progressive scan display presents 60
complete frames per second, rather than
30 frames per second of interlaced
scanning (normal TV system). With nearly
double the number of lines, progressive
scan offers higher picture resolution and
eliminates bothersome motion artifacts
jagged edges on moving objects.

To enjoy the quality offered by
progressive scan, a progressive scan TV is
required. To activate progressive scan,
refer to ‘Progressive’ on page 30.

Getting Started

If the progressive function is activated but
your TV does not support progressive
scan or the cables are not connected
accordingly, the TV screen will be blank.
You can deactivate progressive scan as
below.

Closed Captions

Closed captions are data that is hidden in
the video signal on specific discs, invisible
without a special decoder. The difference
between subtitles and closed captions is
that subtitles are intended for hearing
persons, and closed captions are for the
hearing impaired. For example, closed
captions show sound effects (e.g., “phone
ringing” and “footsteps”), while subtitles
don’t.
Before you select this function, please
ensure that the disc contains closed
captions information and your TV also has
this function.
