Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.

Yes

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Speaker Positioning

For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

• Front Speakers

Based on your listening position, set up the speakers at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an interval between speakers of 45 degree.

• Center Speaker

It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers are same height. But normally place it above or below the television as shown below.

• Rear Speakers

Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm above the listener’s ears.

• Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Before Operation - Sound Mode Descriptions

Mini Glossary for Sound Mode

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the trademark such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio (which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with “” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small concert hall.

When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large concert hall.

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of movie theater.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Pro Logic II offers the following five modes:

PROLOGIC Emulation mode:

The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more “as it used to be.” When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no “Pro Logic I” mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional.

MOVIE mode:

Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.

VIRTUAL mode:

Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual process for speaker use. However, there might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers, Movie mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process developed by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only “Pro Logic II” so the Virtual name can be reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO)

Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY PASS on the remote control.

Delay Time Setting

In Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II mode, it is assumed that the distance from the listener to each of the speakers is equal. If not, then setting the delay times of the center or rear speakers so that the sound will be heard simultaneously by the listener. The interval from the speakers to the listener. If the distance from the listener to each speakers is same, in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II mode, the delay time of each speakers is as follows.

Center Width

This control allows center-channel sounds to be positioned between the center speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presentation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step

“0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step “7” places all center sound equally in the left/right

speakers, just as in conventional stereo.

(MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

Surround delay time setting

If the distance of D the above figure, set the Surround Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the below. Ex) If the distance from front speakers to the listener is 3 m and from rear speakers from the listener is 1.5 m, in the Dolby Digital mode the surround delay time is 5 msec.

F) - 1.5m (DS) = 1.5 m (B)

3m (D

1.5m (B) = 150cm / 30 cm = 5 msec

S is equal to or longer than the DF in

DIMENSE (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound forward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards the surrounds.

PANORAMA

This control extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel elements in the mix, as these are detected and accentuated by the Panorama process.

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3



An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.



The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.



The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz

2. Bit rate/ within 32 - 320kbps

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which

cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “DirectCD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first

track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please

use finished CD-R discs only.

7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less

and must incorporate the “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.MP3”.

8. Do not use special characters such as

“_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.

9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than

200.

10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80

minute CD-R (700M) software.

This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
