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.

PREPARATION

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

Phones

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.

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.

Notes on Discs

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital

surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these
realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.

DVD players and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order
for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play.
The Region Number for this player is given on the rear panel of the player.

(Your DVD player will only play DVDs that are labeled with identical region codes.)

•

If possible, do not use CD-RW (Rewritable) media, as they may not be playable.

•

Only CD-Rs that are properly "closed" can be fully played. If the session is closed but the disc is left open,

•

you may not be able to fully play the disc.

CD-R MP3 Discs

Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:(+) to (+)and (–)to (–).

•

Use the correct type of batteries.Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

•

Always replace both batteries at the same time.

•

Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

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

Position of the DVD Player

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under

•

the TV stand.

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.

•

11

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)

Rear Speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they 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

*

mainly handle 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.

Composite Video (Good Quality)

Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the

S-Video (Better Quality)

If you television is equipped with an S-Video input, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied)
from the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the S-VIDEO IN jack on
your television.

Component Video (Best Quality)

If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video
cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the
corresponding jacks on your television.

When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed

Note

•

any signals. See page 14 to select Progressive Scan.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information are alternated 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.

While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer
than 5 second.

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

•

repetitively.

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

CONNECTIONS

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

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.

This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Pr, Pb, Y,) that support Progressive

Note

•

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.

•

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

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.

Selecting the Video Format

Press and hold NTSC/PAL button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds while the power is turned off.

"NTSC" or "PAL" will appear in the display.

•

At this time, press the NTSC/PAL button shortly to select between "NTSC" and "PAL".
Each country has a different video format standard.

•

For normal playback, the video format of the disc must be the same as the video format of your TV.
