Technicolor - Thomson DTH4500 User Manual

Precautions

Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7-10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack other, or heavy devices 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 electricity supply. In order to separate the player completely from the mains, it has to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Condensation

If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation in the winter, wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.

Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Disconnect the power cable from the mains electricity supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only. Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sale or other business purposes is or may be a violation of copyright law.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT UNDER CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE SPECIFIED ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.

2 - Caution

1 - Setting up

Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile components. You could receive an electric shock or touch the laser beam. Do not place your eyes close to the opening of the disc tray or any other opening to look inside the player.

3 - For your safety

Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole. Always place disc with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc). Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper guide area. Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border. Always put discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position.

Never

try to play a Photo CD.

Never

use record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc surface is dirty. Wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular motion, since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

4 - Discs

5 - Batteries

Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations. Before you dispose of batteries or accumulators, ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he accepts to take them back.

THOMSON multimedia shall not be responsible if the player is not used according to this manual.

Video and Audio connections

If the S-Video / RGB SCART socket is not free.

You need a special S-Video cable (not provided) for the video connection and a Cinch cable for audio left and right inputs (provided).

Connect your DVD player to your TV set with only one video cable - either SCART, or S-Video, or Video (Cinch).

When using the S-Video or video (cinch) connection,

(Not required when using the SCART connection). Manually select the correct AV input and the TV screen aspect on your TV set: 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 (see your TV user's manual). In this case, do not connect any device to the AV2 socket of the DVD player, because the picture of this other device will not appear on your TV screen.

Audio connections

Caution for the optical / coaxial digital audio output connector:

• When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/coaxial digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, be sure to select:

- “Dolby Digital” = PCM

- “DTS” = Off

of the initial setting “Digital Audio Out”. (See above.)

Do not use ...

the “Digital Audio Out” jacks to connect to an equipment other than a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG 2 receiver or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with IEC 958, are likely to cause this problem. If you encounter this problem, use the “digital audio out” menu (see above) to convert the Dolby Digital digital audio bitstream output to linear PCM. The same should be applied with the so-called “optical or coaxial REC.OUT jack” of Dolby Digital decoders, when they are connected to this DVD player. Since REC.OUTis a 1: 1 copy of the decoder's input, no other equipment should be connected there.

According to the audio devices connected to the digital output of this player (coaxial or optical), select one of these options.

• See also the Audio connection pages 12-15.

• the main menu, in English,

• the menus of the disc, in English (if available),

• the language of the dialogues, in English (if available),

System audio quality

Speaker setting is required only if you use the 6 cinch jacks on the rear of the DVD player. In that case, the Dolby Digital / MPEG-2 decoder sends a decoded 5.1 signal to the amplifier (for further information, refer to figures 3 and 5 on pages 14-15). Speaker setting is required only at installation.

Depending on the amplifier and connected speakers, confirm your set-up with the menu below. Refer to pages from 13 to 15 for connections.

This interactive menu page allows you to,

• Select the speakers you have connected.

• Adjust their audio volume and respective delay.

• Configure all the decoding values for the Dolby Digital and audio multichannel MPEG 2 for your speakers.

• Display the room with the position and number of speakers (including the subwoofer).

• Choose the size and quality of your speakers by clicking twice on each speaker (function available for Dolby Digital DVD discs only).

• Adjust the delay between the front and surround speakers, and for the central speaker according to its position compared to the front speakers.

• Test the setting by running a test sound (“pink noise”).

If you do not have the 5 recommended speakers (+1: the Subwoofer) formultichannel surround sound,

• Click twice on the icon corresponding to your missing speakers (subwoofer and/or surround speakers): they disappear from the screen. Multichannel sound will now be distributed across the remaining speakers. As you purchase more speakers, you can re-activate them one by one.

Delay between speakers

Volume setting amongst speakers

• Delay settings allow you to adjust the virtual space between front and rear speakers. This means you can reproduce the sound space of a movie in your home.

• If the surround speakers or the central speaker cannot be installed at the same distance from the listening position as the front speakers, change the delay to obtain a better surround effect.

• If the distance (D2) from the listening position to the central speaker or the distance (D3) from the listening position to the surround speakers is greater than or equal to the distance (D1) from the listening position to the front speakers, no adjustments are required. Otherwise, adjust the settings according to the chart below:

When listening to the test signal, adjust the volume of the central, surround (LH), surround (RH) speakers and the sub-woofer so that their volume is equal to that of the front speakers.

The fused plug (for UK USERS only)

A fused plug must be fitted with a 3A fuse approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 and fuse covers must always be securely remounted. If your set does not work, the fuse may be blown. The BBkey (power stand-by) on the remote control does not completely disconnect the player from the mains supply, but switches operating power on and off.
