Technicolor - Thomson DTH700 User Manual

Precautions

Setting up

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 equipments 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.

Caution

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.

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.

For your safety

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.

Discs

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.

DVD copy protection

In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which can be triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the concerned DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor picture quality, or even impossible. “This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.

Song skip

When you play an MP3 disc, the MP3 menu will be displayed instead of the DVD player menu. The DVD player menu is not available when playing MP3 discs. MP3 content is divided into album(s) and songs.

albums and songs.

• As computer files, several levels (several albums) may be recorded on a disc.

MP3 is the audio file format allowing you to easily compress music recordings, and was co-developed by . The main advantage of MP3 is that it enables storage of CD-quality music tracks on a home computer

in manageable, compressed files. Thanks to compression you now only need about 4 Mb of disc space for a 4 minute music track,

compared with some 40 Mb for conventional file formats, but with almost no reduction in listening quality!

Audio DVD playback

About Audio DVDs

Audio DVD is a new digital recording format for audio discs. This format is based on the success of Video DVDs containing 5.1 multichannel sound. Audio DVD therefore gives you new sound sensations by spreading the sound over 6 loudspeakers (6 x 96 KHz/24 bits analogue channels). If possible, therefore, you should connect the player to a 5.1 amplifier using the 6 channels (marked (5) on page 6) as this gives the best 5.1 sound quality. Connecting the player in this way is also recommended for Video DVDs.

The digital connections (marked

on page 6) should only be used with an amplifier that has

no 5.1 analogue input connections. The audio

(1)

sound quality is not as good as through the

5.1 connections. Many Audio DVDs contain video, in the form of information (bibliographies, titles list, etc.),

video clips, photos, etc.

Important: Unlike Video DVDs, Audio DVDs do not have a Region code. You can therefore buy Audio DVDs anywhere in the world.

To play an Audio DVD on 2 loudspeakers in very high quality ster eo, if the Audio DVD pr ovides a 192 KHz/24 bits signal you should use the 2 stereo channels, L and R (marked (

) on page 6).

Groups

Some discs are divided into several groups that are accessed through the functions banne

contain large amounts of varied information. The way in which this information is presented varies from one disc to another. With some Audio DVDs, you can display the images contained on the disc, one at a time, using the info banner’s Browser (Browse) icon.

While a disc is playing, press the remote control’s

info

key and use the navigation keys to select the browser icon (Browse) and then display the different headings contained on the disc.

Hidden information is sometimes contained on a disc. To see this information, you must first enter a password, which is generally shown on the disc’s cover or on the disc itself. This password is only linked to the disc; it is unrelated to your player. The disc’s password can sometimes be found on the publisher’s Web site.

In accordance with the DVD standard and the protection of copyright, the quality of the Audio signals available through the digital output connections (marked (1) on page 6) is limited, to match that of Audio CDs (48 KHz/16 bits).

What is contained on Audio DVDs depends on their publishers. The icons displayed in the functions banner may therefore vary.

CD-Rs

and MP3 files

- (Recommendations)

(1)

• As a preference, opt for CD-Rs instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.

• As a preference, opt for 74-min (650 Mb) CD-Rs instead of 80-min (700 Mb) CD-Rs.

• Fermer toutes les applications de votre ordinateur personnel afin d’optimiser la qualité et la fiabilité de vos enregistrements sur le disque.

• Use reliable, good-quality CD writing software.

• Whatever the real recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use more than 630 Mb of recording space on the disc.

Make sure that the recording is “long enough” to be played. If the recording is too short, disc identification time may be increased.

Format

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

Name

• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 12 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title ensure that you use 8

characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).

Compression

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of

compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly.

Protection

• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files. “securized” files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows Media™ (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI™ (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You must not copy such files.

About CD-R discs

About MP3 files copied onto CD-Rs

This unit can play most CD-R discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-recorder, computer and the 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. If after several trials, this disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have followed the recommendations below or try another type of disc. There are two main types of recordable CDs:

- CD-R audio discs (for music only), which should be used when recor ding with Hifi CD-audio recorder.

- CD-R Data discs are designed for recording via a CD writer on a personal computer. Use these discs as a preference.

In the case of CD-R MP 3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the comments below:

Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player 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 (that is degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file or files).
