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.

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.
