DVD DISCS

There are several types of DVD Disc.
Single sided discs. They play for approximately 2 HOURS
Single sided two layer discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS
Double sided discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS
Double sided with 2 layers on both sides. They 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 etc. & Chapter 1,2,3 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 Discs. 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 recorder can play both types (if the recorder
zone is correct). DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a
single disc. You can select and change the language and subtitle to suit
yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different
angles.

DVD discs are programmed with region numbers indicating countries in which they can played. The
region number of this unit is 4. If the DVD disc is marked with a different region number, it cannot be
played on this unit.

CONNECTIONS

The following connections show the different video and audio connections to TV, VCR or CD Recorder.
Important : Make sure that the AC Voltage matches your local voltage.
Connect the AC cord only after the speakers, antenna, and all optional equipment have been connected.

(1) Speaker Connections

Note:

– This DVD Receiver is designed to reproduce optimum sound quality when the supplied speakers are used. If

you wish to connect other speakers to the system instead of the supplied speakers, they should be 6 ohms
impedance for the speakers, and 3 ohms impedance for the subwoofer.

– Ensure correct polarity when connecting speakers (coloured wire for matched colour terminal clip).
– To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the positive and negative speaker output terminals.

Press the speaker terminal clip down and insert the wire, then release the clip.

Connect all speakers in the same manner.

Note:

• Do not remove excessive amount of insulation on the wire cords, to avoid the stripped portion from touching
each other. The optimal length for the stripped part should be around 1/3 inch (or 1cm).

• Do not push the stripped part too far into the speaker connectors.

• Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of speaker terminals.

• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied.
