Getting Started

Inserting Batteries into Remote Control

Insert two “AAA” batteries according to the + and - signs on the battery compartment. To use the remote control, point it directly at your receiver.

Set up and Maintenance of the Receiver

IMPORTANT NOTE

• Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as indicated below. If the space is insufficient, the unit may overheat resulting in malfunction and shorter life time.

• Do not connect to the AC power cords until all connections are completed.

• Do not use your set immediately after transferring it from a cold place to a warm place: there is risk of condensation.

• Do not expose your set to water and excessively high temperatures.

• After having disconnected your set, clean the case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.

Disc handling precaution:

• Do not touch the recorded surface.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, solvent or anti-static liquid.

• If the disc is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and wipe from the center out. Wipe in straight line and not in circular motion.

• Do not attach stickers, label on the disc.

• Store the disc in its case after playing.

Regional coding

Your DVD player has been designed to process regional management information that is stored on DVD. DVD that have different regional codes to that of your player cannot be played. The regional code for your player is 2. All means all regions. When you buy a disc, check that it bears the correct logo.

Protect your Components from Overheating

• Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Do not stack components directly on top of each other.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

• Place the receiver near the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not affect other components.

Disc you can play

While advances have been made to ensure that your 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 compatible with audio CD, VCD and SVCD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the DVD writer, the write sofeware and the disc used.

DVD video - Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or doubled sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals. DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW - Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable). Depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using DVD-R and DVD+RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity. VCD, Video Compact Disc - CD on which you can record up to 74 minutes of VHS-quality video associated with still images, audio tracks and interactive menu. SVCD, Super Video Compact Disc - Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107 standards. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 minutes of digital sound and images in accordance with MPEG-2 standards for video and MPEG-1 standards for audio.

Audio CDs - Audio CDs (8 and 12cm) CD-R, CD-RW - Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW

discs (rewritable). This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also be played, provided that the session had ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD writer, 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 30 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 30 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 CD-RWs (rewritable

CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.

• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.

• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable

CD-R disc recording.

Disc you cannot play

DVD-ROM, DVD RAM, CDV, SACD, DVD Audio (High resolution tracks). Data part of CD Extra, disc with non standard shape (e.g. heart), disc with region code different from the one specified on the back of the unit.

They must be hooked up in order to have clear reception.

Tip:

• For FM reception, extend antenna to its full length and arrange the antenna at different parts of the room until the reception is optimized.

Setup video output

You can select either S-video or SCART as your video output (default is SCART). Try power off the unit and turn it on again if you see any picture distortion on the TV. When S-video output is selected, SCART will only provide composite video signal. When SCART output is selected, S-video ouput will be disabled. Composite video signal is always available.

SCART video output (SCART cable is not supplied with this unit) SCART video terminal provides the best quality for video signal. If there is no SCART socket is available on your TV set, check whether your TV has another Video socket (Composite, S-video) that you can use to connect your player.

The unit does not have audio signal from the SCART output.

S-video

S-video provides a better connection for the video portion of the signal than composite video (yellow color terminal). When connecting S-video cable, a Composite video cable (yellow RCA connector) must also be used.
