mp3 files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in mp3 format.With regard to CD-R mp3 discs,
please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above,along with the comments below:
Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are
compatible with Microsoft DOS and Windows,as well as with Apple Mac.These two formats
are the most widely used. mp3 filenames should not exceed 8 characters and should end with
the ".mp3" extension.General name format: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 (.,/ , \ ,= ,+). The total number of files on a disc should be less than 999.The total
number of folders should be less than 499. 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.Obtaining audio CD quality
sound requires an analogue/digital sampling rate,that is conversion to mp3 format,of at least
128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec.Choosing higher rates,such as 192 kB/sec or more,only rarely
produces even better sound quality.Conversely,files with sampling rates below 128 kB/sec will
not play properly. Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3 files. "Securized" files are
encrypted and code-protected to prevent illegal copying.You must not copy such files.
DVD copy protection
In accordance with the DVD standard,your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system,which can
be switched on and off by the DVD disc itself,in order to make any recording of the relevant 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 proper ty rights
owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.Use of this copyright protection technology must be

Macrovision Corporation.Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited."
Note on DivX files
Before playing DivX or mpeg4 files,please be sure of their origin and that you have legally purchased or rented
the contents.Pirate copying is illegal and may result in sanctions. Private copies of your own material for your ow
n
use may be legal in some countries. Make sure you are aware of any applicable laws.

Connections and Setup
Some points to check before you connect your TV set
Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the
identification sticker located on the back of your appliance.
Install your appliance horizontally,away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances
generating strong magnetic or electric fields.The components of this appliance are
sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35 Celsius.
Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation:10 cm on either
side and at the back,as well as 7 cm above it are ideal.
The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%.If you have to use the appliance
outdoors,do not expose it to rain or splashing water.The appliance should not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids,such as vases, should not
be placed on top of it.
Moving it from a cold environment to a warm one is likely to cause condensation on
some components inside the appliance.Let the condensation disappear of its own accord
before turning the appliance on again.
Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.
The remote control

CD-R with WMA files.
WMA filenames should not exceed 8 characters,and should end with the ".wma" extension.General
name format:Title.wma.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 (.,/,\,=,+). The total number of files
on a disc should be less than 999.

Important:The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3
or WMA 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 (i.e.
degraded sound quality and even,in some cases,inability of the player to read the file).

Audio CDs
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).
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 has 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 20 seconds to recognise the disc before starting to play.If the
disc is not recognised after a period of 20 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.

Note:In most cases these two types of connection give similar results; the only difference lies in the type of
cable used and the cost of these cables,the coaxial cable being the least expensive one to buy. However it
sometimes happens that some coaxial cables are parasitised by high frequency interference caused by
household electrical appliances, high voltage electric cables or radio transmitters.
Note :when connecting the optical audio digital cable:
1.Remove the protection cap from the connector and connect it firmly as shown on the drawing.

sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal
into three separate components (comparable with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).
Note:the video signal available from these 3 sockets depends on the choice made in the Video Out menu.
In order to obtain the best possible image quality,always use very high quality cables for the
connections.Your dealer can provide Y,Pr,Pb cables that are sold together and come in the
standard colour codes (red,green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables.
Note:do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound.
Optical and coaxial Out sockets
The digital sound from a Video DVD in playback is permanently available at the optical and
coaxial sockets on your player. Use one of these sockets by connecting it to a decoder or a
DTS or Dolby Digital amplifier.Some of these appliances are equipped with a coaxial In
