General Information/Maintenance
Environmental information
Any unnecessary packaging has been omitted.
We have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene
(bags, protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep disc trays closed to avoid dust buildup on
the lens.
● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
Avoid condensation problem
● 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 system in an enclosed
cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers table-cloths, curtains, etc.
Cleaning the cabinet
● Use soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning discs
● To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the
center towards the edge using soft and lint-free
cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc.
● Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
● Handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the
surface.

Finding a suitable location
● Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.
Cleaning the head and the tape paths
● To ensure good recording and playback quality,
clean the head A, the capstan(s) B, and
pressure roller(s) C after every 50 hours of tape
operation.
● Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with
cleaning fluid or alcohol.
● You also can clean the head by playing a cleaning
tape once.

Glossary
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound
has specific numerical values. These jacks send
audio through two channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV set, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a
given length of music; measured in kilobits per
second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate better
the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use
more space on a Disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A
title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling
you to locate the chapter you want.
Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the
back of the DVD System that sends high-quality
video to a TV set that has Component Video In
jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the
selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles,
etc recorded on a DVD.
Digital: Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL
or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio
through multiple channels, instead of just two
channels as analog does.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up
to six channels of digital audio (front left and
right, surround left and right and center).
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround
sound system, but different from Dolby Digital.
The formats were developed by different
companies.
JPEG: A still-picture data compression system
proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert
Group, which features small decrease in image
quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system, “MPE” is the abbreviation of
Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one
CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all
sound tracks constitute one sound field.
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound
tracks having three or more channels.
Parental control: A function of the DVD to
limit playback of the disc by the age of the users
according to the limitation level in each country.
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback will be prohibited if the
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system
for converting analog sound signal to digital
signal for later processing without data
compression.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
reproduction control. By using screen menus
recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that suppor ts
PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as
well as software having a search function.
Region code: A system allowing discs to be
played only in preset regions. This unit will only
play discs that have compatible region codes. You
can find the region code of your unit from the
product label. Some discs are compatible with
more than one region (or ALL regions).
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending
separate signals for luminance and the color. You
can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video
In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data
sampling when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically
represents how many times the original analog
signal is sampled per second.
Surround: A system for users to create
realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around
the listener.
Title: The longest section of a picture or music
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or
