Notes on Discs

V I D E O

1 ~ 6

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.)

Playable Discs

Do not use the following types of disc!

•LD, CD-G, CD-I, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM cannot be played on this player.

If such discs are played, a "WRONG DISC FORMAT" message appears on the TV screen.

•DVD discs purchased abroad may not play on this player.

If such discs are played, a "WRONG DISC FORMAT" message appears on the TV screen.

Copy Protection

•Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected DVD discs.

•This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by methods claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Disc Recording Format

CD-R Discs

•Depending on the disc recording device (CD-Recorder or PC ) and the condition of the disc, some CD-R discs may not be playable.

•Use a 650MB/74 minute CD-R. Avoid CD-R media, as they may not be playable.

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

•Only the 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.

•MP3 file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).

•Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.

•Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.

•Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc, the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

•If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.

•For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g., 32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.

•If more than 500 tracks are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 500 tracks can be played.

•If more than 300 folders are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 300 folders can be played.

What is MP3?

MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is an acronym for Moving Pictures Experts Group. MP3 is a file format with compression ratio of 1:12 (128 Kbps*) That is, you can use MP3 format to record about 12 times the usual amount of data on a regular CD.

CD-R JPEG Discs

•Only files with the ".jpeg" and ".JPEG" extensions can be played.

•If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to start playing and not all of the recorded files may be played.

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

•JPEG file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).

•Only a consecutively written multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the multisession disc, the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

•A maximum of 9,999 images can be stored on a single CD.

Position of the DVD Player

Selecting the Listening Position

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

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)

Front Speakers L R

•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 C

•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

Rear Speakers LS RS

•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 SW

•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.
