Safety information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

FCC Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this product. This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC

20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-

00345-4 when ordering copies. This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture.

For your safety

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

Main plug is used as the disconnect device, it shall remain operable and should not be obstructed during intended used.To be completely disconnected the apparatus from supply mains, the main plug of the apparatus shall be disconnected from the mains socket outlet completely.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

For your records

In the event that service should be required, you may need both the model number and the serial number. In the space below, record the date and place of purchase, and the serial number: Model No. Remote Control No. Date of Purchase Place of Purchase Serial No.

Things to consider before you connect

Protect components from overheating

• Do not block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Do not stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place the unit on the top shelf.

Position cables properly to avoid audio interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

Connections

Connecting a TV

1. If you intend to use your Small Wonder Memory Maker for watching DVD or recording other external sources (e.g. TV, digital camcorder), you MUST connect the unit to the TV with the supplied audio video cables (color-coded red, white and yellow).

• These are the audio/video cables. The yellow cable carries the video signal, and the red and white cables carry the audio signal.

Connecting Small Wonder camcorder

Turn on the unit and place the Small Wonder camcorder to the connector on the top of the unit. To do so, you have to put the camcorder upside down for connection. The Camcorder Docked indicator lights when the camcorder is connected.

Whenever the camcorder is connected to the unit, the unit will automatically switch to view input from the camcorder even if you are watching images from other sources (e.g. INPUT1 or DV).

Power supply

Audio/video cables

2. Turn on the TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel. To do so, you usually press the AV button on the TV remote control until you get to the video input channel that matches how the Small Wonder Memory Maker is connected to the TV. When you are on the right channel, you can see the unit’s player menu. Since access to a TV’s video input channel varies from one manufacturer to the next, it is difficult to provide specific instructions for your particular brand. Please refer to the user manual of your TV.

Other connection options

There are several ways in which you can incorporate your unit into an Audio-Video system. This depends on the sockets and other appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent on the types of connections used.

Input options

1. DV IN

• For connection with external source (e.g digital camcorder) with an IEEE1394 cable (not provided).

2. AV input

• These jacks receive audio and video from a compatible component, such as a satellite receiver.

• An additional set of audio/video cables (not provided) is required for this connection.

Output options

3. Coaxial out (digital sound)

• The digital sound of a DVD video disc when played is permanently available on the coaxial socket of your unit. Use this socket by connecting it to a decoder or Dolby Digital amplifier.

•A digital coaxial cable (not provided) is required for this connection.

4. Component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr) (YUV)

• The Y, Pb, Pr sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components.

•To obtain the best image quality possible, use very high quality cables for connections. Your dealer can provide YUV cables that are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables.

• If you use the Component sockets Y, Pb, Pr (also called YUV), you must configure the output video signal so that these sockets deliver either an interlaced YUV signal (component interlaced) or a progressive PS signal (component progressive) by pressing VIDEO OUT on the remote control.

• Do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound.

This indicator blinks during communication and lights when the camcorder docked
