Safety Warnings 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.

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.

times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the
TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8 feet)

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

Connecting the Speakers

•

Do not let children play with the speakers.
They could get hurt if a speaker falls.

•

When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers,
make sure that the polarity (+/) is correct.

•

Never touch the speaker terminal while the power is on.
Doing so may result in a risk of electric shock.

Caution

•

If you place a speaker near your TV set,
screen color may be distorted because of
the magnetic field generated by the
speaker. In this case, place the speaker
away from your TV set.

This device transmits DVD video and audio signals digitally without the process of
converting to analog. You can get sharper digital pictures by connecting the video to the
TV using an HDMI connection cable.

Note

• If you connect the HDMI and Component outputs (PR, PB, Y) at the same time, the Component output resolution

changes automatically to the designated HDMI resolution.
Example: If the TV connected to HDMI can only support up to 480p, the HDMI and Component outputs are all

converted to 480p, even if you select the resolution switch to 1080i.

Since this product has an embedded Video Upscaler function with Faroudja DCDi technology, it can enhance a

•

576i(480i) DVD resolution output to 480p/720p/1080i.

• You do not have to make separate adjustments, since the Home Theater and TV will be automatically adjust

themselves to the optimal resolution and aspect ratio if connected to HDMI. (If the TV is an HDTV and has an
HDMI Input jack, output is automatically converted to 1080i resolution.)

• Audio will not be output if decoder is not embedded in TV during 5.1 channel disk playback.

• Component output will give video in ‘480p’ mode only during DVD disc playback applied with Macrovision.

• Macrovision processes scramble on analog output to prevent illegal recording. Accordingly, if you are using

HDMI only, it can output 480p/720P/1080i, but is limited to 480p only if you are using component.

• When both HDMI and COMPONENT jacks are connected, COMPONENT video is not displayed.

• See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.

If the TV only supports a resolution of 576i(480i), the screen may be divided into 2 screens,
