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.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet.

Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

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 has 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.

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.)

Press the HDMI AUDIO SELECT button on the remote control.

• This toggles between “AUDIO ON” and “AUDIO OFF” on the display.

•AUDIO ON : Both video and audio signals are transmitted over the HDMI connection cable, and audio output is through the TV speakers only.

• AUDIO OFF : Video is transmitted over the HDMI connection cable only, and audio output is through the home theater speakers only.

Note • The default setting value of this product is HDMI AUDIO OFF.

• HDMI AUDIO is automatically down-mixed to 2ch for TV speakers.

• If you turn the unit off and on, or switch functions when the HDMI AUDIO is automatically set to OFF.

DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) Function

Converts the interlace signal to progressive to prevent flickering and to remove distortion or noise on the edge of screen.

Press and hold DCDi button on the remote control for over 3 seconds.

• Each time the button is pressed, the selection alternates between DCDi ON and DCDi OFF.

GB

In Stop mode, press and hold the SD/HD (Standard Definition/High

	Definition)button on the remote control.		CONNECTIONS
	• SD(Standdard Definition) means resolution of 480p and HD (High Definition) means resolution
	of 720p/1080i.
	Example: If the TV supports resolution up to 480p

Press the SD/HD button.

•A 480p video signal is output through the HDMI output.

•If the TV does not support the configured resolution, you will not be able to see the picture properly.

Note

•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 (if supported by the TV).)

•For component video output, only 480P is supported.

•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.
