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.

information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible
scan lines.
Customized TV Screen Display
The HT-DS690 allows you to select your favorite image during JPEG, DVD playback and set it as
your background wallpaper.
DVD-Audio compatible

of dynamic range, low-level resolution and high-frequency detail.
Wireless Rear Speakers and Amp
The HT-DS690 has a rear surround wireless amp that removes the need for long speaker cables
between the main unit and rear speakers.

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)

Caution
Connecting Wireless Rear Speakers
•
Do not apply a strong shock to the wireless transmission antenna. Breakage may result.
•
Do not touch the wireless transmission antenna during operation. Noise or interference to communications may result.
•
Place the wireless rear amplifier at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless rear amplifier is too close to the main unit, some sound
interruption may be heard due to interference.
•
If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment, or any other device that uses the same frequency
(2.4GHz) near the system, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.
•
The transmission distance of radio wave is about 33 feet but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or
metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless rear amplifier, the system may not operate at all because the radio wave cannot
penetrate metal.
Stand the wireless transmission antenna to face upward for best communication status.

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.)
