Some DVD discs have anti-copying devices. It is impossible to copy these discs.

• Install your unit on a stable flat surface. There must be

sufficient room in front of the unit for the drawer to be opened and the unit should be positioned so that it can face to the remote control.

• Do not expose your unit to extremes of temperature or humidity.

• Avoid standing it on a hot surface such as on top of other hot running equipment and ensure that there is adequate ventilation to the unit.

Caution:

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit!

DVD Discs

There are several types of DVD Disc: Single-sided discs play for approximate 2 Hours

Single-sided two-layer discs play for approximate 4 Hours Double-sided discs play for approximate 4 Hours Double-sided discs with double-layer on both sides play for approximately 8 Hours DVD discs have Titles and Chapters:

* There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can

contain several Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered, e.g. Title 1, Title 2, Chapter 1 and etc.

* Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio

logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles contain trailers for other films, production notes, or alternative endings for the film. There are many possibilities with Digital Versatile Disc.

* Chapters within the main Title allow you to search quickly for

a specific point on the disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu sometimes called Scene Index or Scene Menu that displays the first shot from each Chapter, which allows you to select a

shot and play the disc from that point onwards. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player can play both types (if the player zone is correct).

DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a single disc. The language and subtitle can be changed, and the whole disc or just part of it can be played and viewed from different angles ( if the video is shot at different camera angles).

Cleaning Disc

Picture freezing & sound skipping or repeating can occur if the disc inside the player is dirty.

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can

cause picture distortion or render the disc unplayable.

PLAYABLE DISCS/FILES

While improvement have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio CD standards. For writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the disc writer, the software and the disc used.

DVD-Video

Digital video discs -12 cm and 8 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high density optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded.

PLA YER ZONE:

The zone this player can play is “2”, that is marked on the DVD disc label.

DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW discs

Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVDRW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable) are compatible with this player, but this depends on the DVD writer and discs used.

Video CD(VCD)

VCD stands for Video Compact Disc on which contains video associated with still images, audio tracks and interactive menus.

Audio CDs

Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).

CD-R & CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable). CD-Rs written during a multi session recording can also be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the burning software). However, depending on the CD writer, software and disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again.

• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity.

• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CDRWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CDRW playback may be impossible.

• Use reliable, good-quality CD burning software.

• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

MP3 Files

CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs and USB devices containing audio files in MP3 format are compatible with this player. As for CD-R MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:

• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, and with Apple’s Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.

• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title, make sure that you have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

• Use a compression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires a sampling rate of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. The use of higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, rarely give better sound quality. Conversely , files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps are not of high enough quality.

• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files. Certain files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows MediaTM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.

Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD home theatre system will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

GB - 29

PLAYABLE DISCS/FILES

WMA Files

CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs and USB devices containing WMA files are compatible with this player. Windows Media Audio (WMA) is another compressed audio file format that is similar to MP3. WMA files can also be grouped in folders or albums as MP3 files.

• When naming your WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.wma” as the file extension. General name format of: Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure that you do not use spaces or special characters including: (.,/ ,\,=,+) in the name.

• Use a compression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files. Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires a sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to 192Kbps are not of high enough quality. Conversely, files with compression rates over 192Kbps will not be of any higher quality.

• Supported formats: WMA 7.0, WMA 8.0, WMA

9.0.

JPEG Files

CD-Rs, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW and USB devices containing JPEG files are compatible with this player. JPEG is a compressed image file format. Your player can play JPEG files with a resolution of up to five million (5 mega) pixels. However, there is no perceptible improvement in the quality of pictures displayed on your TV screen beyond 400,000 pixels.

Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.

MPEG 4 Files

CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs and USB devices containing video files in MPEG 4 format with stereo audio output only are compatible with this player.

As for CD-R MPEG 4 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:

• When naming your MPEG 4 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.avi” as the file extension. General name format of: Title.avi. When composing your title, make sure that you have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).

Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MPEG 4 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MPEG 4 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW or DVD-R RW disc itself, some discs can not be played on the unit.

Note:

• Some external hard disks may not be supported. (particularly if they do not have a separate power supply and if they are not in FA T32 format). Detecting and scanning the hard disk may sometimes take a few minutes.

Note: Display time will vary according to the file size and number of pixels of JPEG files.
