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.

ENG

PREPARATION

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the
wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Phones

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.

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.

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)

Directions in Installing Speaker

•

Installation in a place near heating apparatus, under direct lay of light or with high humidity may cause

performance degradation of the speaker.

•

Do not install on the wall or on a high place of pole or other unstable place to prevent any safety accident

caused by falling of the speaker.

•

(not supplied)

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.

ENG

You can select "Progressive Scan" or "Interlace Scan" for you TV.
Please go to <Setup><Display Setup><Video Output> and set I-SCAN or P-SCAN.
(see the page 35.)

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

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 1/25th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 50 fields are
displayed every 1/50th of a second.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

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.

CONNECTIONS

Note

This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support
