Portable DVD Player

Important notes for users in the UK

This set complies with the radio interference requirements of the
European Union.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this
type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral
(N), brown = live (L).As these colours may not correspond with the colour
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e)
or coloured green (or green and yellow).

• Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Digital video

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to
register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate
compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most
complex pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500
lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is more
than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with
digital masters made in recording studios.

Your portable DVD player

Your portable DVD player plays digital video discs conforming to the
universal DVD Video standard.With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length
movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multichannel sound
(depending on the disc and on your playback set-up).

The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of soundtrack and
subtitle languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the
disc), are all included.

What’s more, parental lock lets you decide which discs your children will be
able to see.You will find your player remarkably easy to use with the On­Screen Display and player display in combination with the remote control.
