Listening for a Lifetime

We want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – one that lets the sound come through clearly and comfortably without annoying blaring or distortion. More importantly, we do not want the sound to affect your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over periods of time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level before your hearing adapts. Take a minute now to do this to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. We want you listening for a lifetime.

Establish a Safe Level

1. Set volume at a low setting.

2. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly – without distortion.

3. Once you have established a comfortable sound

level — set the volume there and leave it there.

LD (Laser Disc)

Laser discs include 8- and 12-inch discs. They can be one-sided or two-sided. There are two video recording systems for laser discs: Standard play (CAV) or extended play (CLV). These types differ in respect to recorded time available on each side of the disc.

• Discs with video recorded in standard play normally indicate “Standard Play Disc CAV” or “Standard Play” on their jackets.

• Discs with video recorded in extended play normally indicate “Extended Play Disc CLV” or “Extended Play” on their jackets.

Laser discs may have digital audio signals in addition to the conventional analog audio system. The jackets and labels of these discs have the digital sound symbol.

Selected laser discs have different audio recorded on the analog and digital systems. Either audio can be selected for playback. The jackets and labels of these discs have the symbol.

CD (Compact Disc) With Audio Only

CD (compact disc) is the standard name for one-sided digital audio 3and 5-inch discs. Information about the disc is provided by a TOC (table of contents).

CDV (Compact Disc With Video)

Compact discs with video (CDVs) are 5-inch digital audio discs which include a video portion.

Of the total 25-minute playback time, up to 20 minutes is conventional CD digital audio. The remaining 5 minutes contains both the digital audio and CLV (extended play) video.

Analog Audio

Analog audio is a standard method of recording audio used on all laser discs.

CAV (Standard Play)

A video recording system is used where signals are recorded on the disc one frame (picture) per disc revolution, and the disc is played at a fixed rotational speed (CAV = Constant Angular Velocity) of 1,800 rpm (revolutions per minute).

This system is well suited for frame-byframe playback and variable-speed playback. One side of a CAV disc can have a playback time of up to 30 minutes (for a 12-inch disc), which is equivalent to 54,000 individual frames. Each frame – from frame 1 to frame 54,000 – is encoded with its frame number. Playback time varies according to the contents of the disc.

CLV (Extended Play)

A video recording system where signals are recorded on the disc at a Constant Linear Velocity (CLV), and the rotational speed during playback varies from 1,800 rpm (revolutions per minute) for the innermost track to 600 rpm for the outermost track. As a result, one side of a CLV disc can have a playback time of up to 60 minutes (for a 12-inch disc), which is twice as long as a standard play (CAV) disc.

CLV discs are encoded with time numbers which correspond to the elapsed playback time from the beginning of the disc. Playback time varies according to the contents of the disc.

Chapter Number

Some discs have chapter numbers used to indicate the boundaries of sections on the disc – similar to the chapters in a book. If chapter numbers are recorded on a disc, it will be indicated on the disc’s jacket. The chapter search feature uses chapter numbers to locate a certain chapter on the disc.

Digital Audio

Digital audio is a method of recording audio that is used on CDs, CDVs, and laser discs in addition to the analog audio. Digital audio provides wider dynamic range and less distortion for a more accurate reproduction of the actual sound.

Frame Number

Frame numbers are the numbers assigned to each picture frame on a CAV (standard play) laser disc. The frame search feature uses numbers to locate a certain frame on the disc.

Time Number

Time numbers indicate the actual time elapsed from the beginning of a CLV (extended play) laser disc. The time search feature uses the time number to locate a certain place on the disc.

Track Number

Track numbers indicate the boundaries of the sections (or tracks) on a compact disc or compact disc with video. Track numbers are assigned consistently throughout the audio and video portions of a disc. The track search feature uses numbers to locate certain tracks on the disc.

TOC (Table of Contents)

Compact discs (CDs), compact discs with video (CDVs), and selected laser discs (LDs) are provided with a section called TOC at the beginning of the disc. The TOC section is similar to the table of contents of a book. It contains information on the contents (number of chapters, tracks, playing time, etc.) of the disc.

Cleaning the Player

Use a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust the exposed surface of the player. Use the vacuum cleaner attachment to remove dust from the ventilation holes on the top, back, sides, and bottom of the cabinet.

Some of the plastic surfaces are easily scratched, and they can be marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet are non-porous and the residue will accumulate more dust.

Handling Discs

When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing surface.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints or other dirt on the discs may affect sound and picture quality.

To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with a diluted neutral detergent solution to remove heavy deposits and oil from fingerprints.

Discs should not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, static prevention sprays, or volatile liquids such as benzine or thinner.

Do Not Play Cracked or Warped Discs

Never play a cracked, scratched, or warped disc. This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.

Storing Discs

After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity.

Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their jackets.

Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car, which may become excessively hot.

Warped Laser Discs

1. Put the warped laser disc into its protective

envelope.

2. Place the envelop between two flat plates of

glass.

3. Place heavy books on top of the plates so that

approximately ten pounds of pressure is applied.

4. Leave the disc like this for a day or two. The

warp may be corrected.

Important information to customers who ship defective equipment to Thomson Consumer Electronics

The Thomson representative who authorized the return of your equipment will give you an RA number over the phone. They will also provide you with instructions on where and how to return your player.

To avoid confusion and misunderstandings, shipments without an RA number clearly visible on the outside of the box will be returned to you at your expense.

Include a brief note describing the problem and any conversations about the problem you have had with Thomson personnel. Include your name, address and model/serial number of your LaserDisc player. These numbers are located on the back of your unit. If your player is within the warranty period, please provide a copy of the bill of sale to verify purchase date. Use the original box and packing material to protect the equipment from damage in shipment.

For your protection, insure all shipments for full replacement value and use a reliable shipper.

Thomson assumes no responsibility for warranty shipments from the customer to the factory if not shipped in the manner prescribed by Thomson.

Thomson provides a toll-free telephone number to help you with any problems you may encounter with your player. Many can be diagnosed over the phone, and if necessary, a replacement unit can be shipped to you. Please have your player model/serial number and date of purchase ready when you call.

Returning equipment to Thomson for repair or exchange

If we are unable to resolve your problem over the phone, we will gladly service your unit or exchange it for a new or refurbished player. Refer to the limited warranty to learn about your specific rights and responsibilities.

Always consult Thomson and get a Return Authorization number before returning anything!
