or damage the player.

• Heating or other thermal radiation under the player also may cause malfunction or damage the player.

• The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufﬁcient air circulation. Please do not put the

set into closed areas and do not cover it.

• Do not allow the player to come in contact with water or humidity. Do not use the player near a bath or swimming

pool.

• Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Angle

Recorded onto some DVDs are scenes that have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs, ANGLE can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVDs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and speciﬁc parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DivX

DivX® is a digital video compression format developed by DivX, Inc.

Dolby Digital

Many movie theatres are equipped with 5.1 channel surround systems. This same type of technology is available to you in your home. To enjoy full 5.1 channel surround, the player must be connected to an external Dolby Digital decoder via the digital outputs (either coaxial or optical).

DTS

This is a digital sound system developed by Digital Theater Systems for use in cinemas. This system uses 6 audio chan nels and provides accurate sound ﬁeld positioning and realistic acoustics. (By connecting a DTS Digital Surround decoder, you can also listen to DTS Digital Surround sound.)

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs, which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc.

HDMI

The High-Deﬁnition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. The HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, and an AV receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).

LPCM

LPCM stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio.

MPEG

Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international standard for compression of moving images. On some DVDs digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format.

Playback Control (PBC)

This is recorded on a Video CD (Version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV by looking at the menu shown on the TV.

Subtitles

These are printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen, which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are re corded on the DVDs.

Time Number

This indicates the playtime that has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to ﬁnd a speciﬁc scene quickly. (Not all discs permit the use of a time search feature. Availability is determined by the disc’s manufacturer.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVDs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks that are recorded on Audio CDs. They enable speciﬁc tracks to be located quickly.

Video CD

This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is on a par with that of video tape. The player also supports Video CDs with playback control (Version 2.0).
