IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power sourceConnect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit. 2. PolarizationThe unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesnt fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesnt fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug. 3. Power cord protectionRoute the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it. 4. OverloadingWhen connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock. 5. Nonuse periodsTurn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. 6. Attachments and accessoriesUse only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Operation

No response when buttons pressed. Some operations may be prohibited by the disc. The unit may not be operating properly due to lightning, static electricity or some other external factor. Reset procedure: Press [] to switch the unit to the standby mode and then back to ON. Alternatively, press [] to switch the unit to the standby mode, disconnect the AC power supply cord, and then reconnect it. Check the batteries are installed correctly. 9 The batteries are depleted: Replace them with new ones. 9 Point the remote control at the remote control sensor and operate. It may be in the television or video cassette recorder operation mode. Press [DVD/CD] to operate this unit. If the remote control doesnt operate the television or video cassette recorder, try changing the code. This remote control cannot operate some televisions or video cassette recorders. J K Condensation has formed: Wait 1 to 2 hours for it to evaporate. This unit cannot play discs other than DVD-Video, CD and Video CD. 5 This unit cannot play DVD-Video with a region number other than 1, ALL or multiple region numbers including 1. 5 The disc may be dirty and may require cleaning. 5 Ensure that the disc is installed with the label of the side to be played facing upwards. ; An alternative language is not selected with discs which do not contain more than one language. In the case of some discs, the alternative language cannot be selected with [AUDIO] or [SUB TITLE].

Subtitles are cleared from the television. Display the subtitles. > The language is not recorded on the disc.

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDVideo, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture (I-picture) This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture) This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture) This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and Ppictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size without overtly hurting audio quality. When creating MP3 files to play on this unit Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended formats) Files: MP3 files with the suffix.mp3 or.MP3 This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this. This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags. This unit is not compatible with files with a sampling rate of 32 kHz.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
