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 the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on the lens.

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 DVD system in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

Care of disc

– To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, as they may damage the disc! – Write only on the printed side of a CD-R/CD-RW and only with a soft felttipped pen. – Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the surface.

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, stable surface.

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

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 the TV or

the DVD system so that 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. – Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.

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: Red and white 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 second, 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 movie 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. Clear voice: It enables the digital sound processor to extract the voice dynamics in movie dialog on all five surround channels without compromizing on the location accuracy and the width of the surround sound. Component Video Out Jacks: Red, blue, and green 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, YUV, 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.)

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround

sound system, but it is 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. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using the MP3 format. One CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data then a regular CD.

Multichannel: DVD are formatted to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Parental control: Limits Disc play according to the age of the users or 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 playback and searching. Plug and Play: After power up, the system will prompt the user to proceed with the automatic installation of radio stations by simply pressing the PLAY button on the main unit. Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD into progressive format when the DVD player is connected to a Progressive Scan TV. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A progressive-scan TV is needed to receive progressive scan output from the player. Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in the region designated. 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 an 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. Seating control: It gives the user a perfect sound and movie experience anywhere in the room, providing maximum flexibility and real total immersion because the user can choose their preferred seat. Surround: A system for creating realistic threedimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener. Title: The longest section of a movie or music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned a title number, enabling you to locate the title you want. VIDEO OUT jack: Yellow jack on the back of the DVD system that sends the DVD picture video to a TV.
