Handling instructions

Condensation

The DVD player's top and back panel may

become warm after prolonged use. This is not due
to a defect.

Condensation may occur in the following cases:

When the DVD player is moved directly from a
cold to a warm place.

When the DVD player is not used, remove the

disc and turn off the device.

When the DVD player is used in a room where

the radiator has just been switched on or where
the cold air from the air condition plant is directed
at the device.

If the DVD player is not used for a long period, its

function may deteriorate. Therefore, the DVD
player should be turned on and used now and
then.
Protect the power cord

If the DVD player is used in the summer in a

warm and humid room just after it has been
removed from an air conditioned room.

Follow the instructions below to avoid irregular

function, electric shock, fire, or injury:

If there is steam or a high level of humidity in the

room.

Hold the plug firmly when inserting it into the

socket
Avoid heat-producing devices
Do not place objects on the power cord
Do not carry out service work on or change the
power cord

In case of condensation, the DVD player will not

work properly. Remove the disc and turn off the
device. Unplug the device and leave it for 2-3
hours. The DVD player will then have adapted to
the environment and any condensation will have
disappeared.

Positioning
Do not place the device in any of the following
places:
In sunlight, close to heat-producing devices and
in a closed trolley
At high temperatures (40C or above) or high
relative humidity (90% or more)
In dirty places as some internal parts may be
damaged

Do not put your fingers or any

other objects into the device
Touching the internal parts is dangerous and may
cause injury or damage. Do not open the
housing.
Do not place foreign matter on the drive.

NOTE:

Storing the discs

Do not store the discs where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight or where they are close
to sources of heat.
Do not store the discs where they may be
exposed to moist or dust, for example in a
bathroom or close to a humidifier.
Store the discs standing in a cassette. If the
cassettes are stacked or an object is placed on
the cassettes, the discs may become uneven.

Do not touch the playback side of the disc

Do not put paper or tape on the disc

Organisation of discs
Cleaning the discs
Normally, DVD discs are divided into titles, and the
titles are then divided into chapters. Music CDs are
divided into tracks.

Finger prints and dust may cause poor sound

and picture quality. Wipe the disc with a dry, soft
cloth. Wipe from the centre out. The disc should
always be clean.

If the dust cannot be removed with a soft cloth,

wipe the disc carefully with a moist cloth and then
with a dry cloth.
Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner,
petrol, commercial detergents and anti-static
spray for vinyl records. These may damage the
disc.

Each title, chapter and track has been given a

number, designated title number, chapter number
and track number, respectively.

Playing JPEG files

JPEG files contain picture information which can be encoded by micro computer software and transmitted to the TV screen
via a video output interface. This function is useful in many contexts. For example teachers can change pictures to be shown
in the classroom to JPG files by means of a digital camera or a scanner which are often used within the IT world and transfer
the pictures to CD-R discs. This will make things easier for the pupils when the teachers play the discs via a TV set or other
types of equipment in the classroom. It reduces the repetitive work for the teachers, and the discs are easy to store
(information on discs can be stored for more than 100 years). By means of a digital camera or scanner, families can transfer
pictures to CD-R discs. If, for example, a picture requires 100K bytes, one disc will hold about 6000 pictures. Manufacturers
can show their customers pictures of their products one by one.
Note: The actual contents vary from one type of disc to the other.
1. When a JPEG disc is loaded in the DVD-player, an automatic slide show will be launched.
Each picture will be displayed and scaled to fit the screen.
Press STOP to enter the file library.
Use the SCROLL key to navigate the pictures, and press PLAY to display a picture.
When the a picture has been chosen, the slide show will resume with the next picture in the library.
2. Press SCROLL to rotate the picture. These operations are allowed only when a picture is being
displayed normally and will be cancelled automatically when a new picture is displayed.
3. Press ZOOM to execute the zoom function and select the zoom enlarging scale with I<< and >>I.
In zoom mode, press the SCROLL buttons to move the picture on the screen. With zoom mode off,
the next picture will be scaled to fit the screen.
Press PLAY to cancel the zoom mode and resume the slide show.
JPEG limitations
- JPEG files containing CMYK colors is not supported by this DVD-player.
- The range of pixels should not be exceeding 3840 X 3840 pixels, in order to achieve the best
Performance.

Mp3 discs
MP3 is an audio compression mode using level 3 of the international MPEG standard, whereby the sound signal is
compressed at the ratio of 12:1. An MP3 disc can record music for playback over 600 minutes or record over 170 songs
in a sound quality that fully matches the sound quality of CDs.
How to play an MP3 disc

select subdirectory and music.
2. FILE LIST
Here you select the files to be played by pressing the arrow keys UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT and then
PLAY or by pressing the number keys and PLAY for direct selection. If the entered number is not
Available, the message INPUT INVALID will be displayed.

CAPTIONS
Closed captions (CC) is a standardised method
used to code text into a NTSC TV signal. A DVD
may include Closed Captions. If a DVD title has
a (CC) mark on the back of the packaging, you
can set captions to ON and read the written
headlines on the TV screen. The unit is preset
to ON.

Note: Available aspect ratios will be printed on

the back of the DVD packaging.
Some DVDs are recorded in the cinema
widescreen format (16:9) and others in the
standard format (4:3). Some DVDs are
recorded in both formats and may thus feature
the Pan Scan function. If available, the Pan
Scan function will allow the 4:3 format to fill out
the entire screen. However, a part of the picture
will be cut off in both sides.

characteristics

The DVD player is your ticket to a home cinema. Every single technical detail in this technology is better than in
any other previous AV equipment. This brand new digital technology compresses the A/V effect from the cinema
down on a disc with a diameter of 12 cm, i.e. the size of a CD. Particularly by means of Dolby Digital and DTS, it
is possible to achieve excellent digital surround sound. The DVD player can also be used with the existing CDs,
CD-Rs and CD-RWs (however, it cannot be used with all CD-RW discs).
