DISC COMPATIBILITY / CARE
Optical Disc compatibility
This unit plays DVDs recorded for a particular region. The region mark on the back of the player must correspond to that on any DVD discs you wish to play. Units sold in North America are coded for Region 1, and marked as shown: This unit supports CD-R/RW discs recorded with MP3 or JPG files, and in VCD format. MP3 files must be named with the extension.MP3 JPG files must be named with the extension.JPG JPG images must be saved with standard encoding, rather than progressive encoding. Discs created with personal computers may have problems playing due to differences in recording software settings, disc formats and other factors.

Caring for Optical Discs

Hold a disc by the rim or with an index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface. Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss. Use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface. Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface. To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature. Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may damage the disc surface.

! Note on Aspect Ratio
Don't confuse the ASPECT RATIO setting with the LCD MODE (Page 10). The ASPECT RATIO setting is set to match the LCD SCREEN, TV or MONITOR that the player is using as a video output device. By default this is the player's builtin LCD, which is 16:9 WIDESCREEN format. The LCD MODE setting depends on the aspect ratio of the MOVIE (DVD or SVCD/VCD). Since the player features a WIDESCREEN LCD, the picture will appear stretched when viewing non-widescreen material. Change the LCD MODE (Page 10) to 4:3 NORMAL to simulate a normal TV screen when viewing non-widescreen material. This includes "4:3", "FULLSCREEN" or "PAN/SCAN" movie formats.
