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.

Range of Operation of the Remote Control

Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote by pressing down and sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, paying attention to the correct polarities (+ and –).

Replace the battery cover.

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.

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)

Connecting the Speakers

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

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

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.

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

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.
