Precautions

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your
player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation
slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may
become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD
player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power sup­ply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fire­place) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speak­ers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player mal­functions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.

Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold

temperatures.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours

until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the
wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.

This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

The battery used with this product contain chemicals that
are harmful to the environment.
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household
trash.

Rear Speakers

•

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to face each other.

•

Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing
slightly downward.

*

Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used
to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from
them all the time.

Subwoofer

•

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.
Place it anywhere you like.

•

Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers.

Front Speakers

•

Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

•

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at
the same height as your ear.

•

Align the front face of the front speakers with the
front face of the center speaker or place them
slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker

•

It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers.

•

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Position of the DVD Player

•

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under
the TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3
times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the
TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Press STOP button.

•

When disc is played back, press the STOP button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.

Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote control for over 5 seconds.

•

Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "Progressive Scan" and "Interlace Scan"
repetitively.

•

When you select P.SCAN, "P.SCAN" will appear on the display

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two inter­laced fields (odd and even), where each field contains
every other horizontal line in the frame.
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are dis­played every 1/60th of a second.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the
interlaced scanning process by which a video image is
drawn in a series of passes.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects.

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

•

This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support
Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive
scan TVs.)

•

Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

Note

2

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire
picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines
displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.
