General Information
Installation
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
● Do not expose your player to extreme
temperatures or humidity.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newpapers, table-cloths, curtains, et.
Maintenance
● When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a
cleaning cloth.Wipe the disc from the center out,
in a straight line.
● Do not expose the player,
batteries or discs to humidity,
rain, sand or excessive heat
(caused by heating equipment
or direct sunlight).Always keep
the disc tray closed to avoid
dust on the lens.
● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for colour discs.
● The lens may cloud over when the player is
suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.

Glossary
Parental control: A function of the DVD to
limit playback of the disc by the age of the users
according to the limitation level in each country.
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback will be prohibited if the
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system
for converting analog sound signal to digital
signal for later processing without data
compression.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
reproduction control. By using screen menus
recorded on aVideo CD or SVCD that supports
PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as
well as software having a search function.
Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the
horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a
signal frame. This system can convert interlaced
video from DVD into progressive format for
connection to a progressive display. It
dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A
progressive scanTV set is needed to receive
progressive scan output from the system.
Region code: A system allowing discs to be
played only in preset regions.This unit will only
play discs that have compatible region codes.You
can find the region code of your unit from the
product label. Some discs are compatible with
more than one region (or ALL regions).
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending
separate signals for luminance and the color.You
can use S-Video only if yourTV set has S-Video
In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data
sampling when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically
represents how many times the original analog
signal is sampled per second.
Surround: A system for users to create
realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around
the listener.
Title: The longest section of a picture or music
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or
the entire album in audio software. Each title is

horizontal sizes of a displayed image.The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventionalTVs. is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV set, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a
given length of music; measured in kilobits per
second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate the
better the sound quality. However, higher bit
rates use more space on a Disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.A
title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling
you to locate the chapter you want.
ComponentVideo Out Jacks: Jacks on the

video to aTV set that has ComponentVideo In
jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).

through multiple channels, instead of just two
channels as analog does.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up
to six channels of digital audio (front left and

quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system,“MPE”is the abbreviation of
Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3.Through the MP3 format, one
CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.

tracks having three or more channels.
VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the
DVD System that sends video toTV.
HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface. A
specification developed by the HDMI Working
Group that combines multi-channel audio and
high definition video and that controls signals
into a single digital interface for use with DVD
players, digital television, and other audiovisual
devices.
