Environmental information

All 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 specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Installation

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

● There must be sufficient room in front of the player for the

drawer to open.

● In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of free space all

around the player for adequate ventilation.

● Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or

humidity.

Maintenance

● When a disc becomes dirty, clean

it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out, in a straight line.

● Do not expose the player,

batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

● 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.

Setting up the surround sound system

You must connect all the speakers and set up the system properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at home (refer to “Connections - Connecting the speakers and passive subwoofer”.) You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically.

IMPORTANT! Please sit at your usual listening position in order to set up the speaker balance correctly.

Placing the speakers

To obtain the best surround effect, place the speakers as follows.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances

from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2 Place the center speaker above or below the TV so the

center channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level

facing each other or mounted on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Helpful Hints: – To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. – If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will weaken the surround effect. – All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

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. ver tical 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, Stereo, etc.). Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the 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 send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.). Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, 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 capable of delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio (front left and right, surround left and right, center, and LFE.) 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. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using 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 each sound track 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, with no data compression used in conversion.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function. Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a signal frame. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A progressivescan TV is needed to receive progressive scan output from the player. Region code: A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the region designated beforehand. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on 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 the luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV has S-video In jack. Sampling Frequency: Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital data Sampling frequency numerically represents how many time the original analog signal is sampled per second. Surround: A system for creating realistic threedimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
