Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location
Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier). Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines). Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.
Space for ventilation Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2) from the left and right to prevent overheating. Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Cleaning discs

To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the centre to the edge in a straight line. CAUTION! Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD system operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

About recycling

These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper. The electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are disposing of an old machine, please take it to a recycling centre. Please observe the local regulations regarding disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and an old equipment.

Problem

Solution

No HDMI audio output.

You will not hear any sound from the HDMI output if the source device is only DVI/HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)-compatible. It is not possible to output SACD or copy-controlled DVDAudio sources from the HDMI connection. HDMI connection can only be made to HDMI-equipped devices with HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection.) If you wish to connect to a DVI connector (equipped with HDCP,) you will need a separate adaptor (DVI to HDMI.) Make sure the resolution of this DVD system matches the device you have connected using the HDMI. See DVD System Menu Options - Video Setup Page. You need to switch to another frequency channel to avoid bandwidth interference by other wireless devices. To switch the frequency channel, press and hold the SOUND key on the remote control for 5 secs. You will see the channel numbers (1- 4) flashing on the display panel of your DVD system.

No HDMI video output.

There is interference on your HTS9800W rear speakers or existing wireless network in your home.

Glossary

Analogue: Sound that has not been switched into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. These sockets send audio through two channels, the left and right. Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9. AUDIO OUT Sockets: Red and white sockets on the back of the DVD system that send audio to another system (TV, 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, or the higher the recording speed, 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. Component Video Out sockets: Sockets on the back of the DVD system that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In sockets (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.). Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing a selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc. to be recorded on a DVD. DivX 3.11/4.x/5.x/6.x: The DivX code is a patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed by DivX Networks, Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the internet, while maintaining high visual quality. Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, centre and subwoofer). Dolby Digital EX: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to seven channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, centre front and rear subwoofer). Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround programme material, provides a convincing three dimensional sound field on conventional stereo music recordings and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound.
