Playing Discs  
Playing mp3,WMA, and JPEG files  
mp3 is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer  
Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc.The main advantage of the mp3 format is the ability to  
store CD-quality music tracks that are user-friendly and compressed on a personal computer.  
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio file format, developed by Microsoft.  
JPEG files are image files. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels.  
Note:The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of JPEG files  
actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few minutes, it is likely that certain files are too large. In this case,  
reduce the files’ resolution to less than 5 megapixels and write another disc.  
Before inserting a disc, check that it is compatible with the player (page 11).  
1. Turn on the DVD and open the disc tray by pressing the Open button on the player.  
2. Place the disc in the tray with the printed side facing up, then close the disc compartment; the  
disc’s contents are displayed.  
3. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the folder, file, mp3, or jpeg you want and press Enter to play it.  
To use A-B repeat, press the A-B REPEAT button to set the A and B points.  
To toggle the available repeat modes, press the REPEAT button. REP1 repeats the track, REP DIR  
repeats the folder, REP ALL repeats the whole disc.

4:3 PS (Pan and Scan) – Choose this option if you want  
the movie to fill the entire screen of your TV.This might  
mean that parts of the picture (the left and right edges)  
won’t be seen.  
4:3 LB (Letterbox) – Choose this option if you want  
to see movies in their original aspect ratio (height-to-width  
ratio).You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it takes  
up a smaller portion of the screen vertically.The movie might  
appear with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.  
16:9 (Widescreen) – Choose this option if your DVD  
player is connected to a widescreen TV. If you choose this  
setting and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the images  
on the screen might appear distorted due to vertical  
compression. If you play a disc recorded in 4x3 format on a

To use the TVG captioning features while watching a DVD movie, your television must be capable of  
displaying closed captions. Make sure that your TV CC is set to CC1 or C1 (closed caption on channel  
1), and that the CC channel on your DVD player is set to CC1 (this is the default setting).  
Notes:  
TVGuardian monitors the closed captioning for words and phrases that are commonly considered to be offensive.  
It is the parents’ responsibility to select programming with content suitable for their children.TVG will not filter out  
scenes, do ‘voice overs’, or filter all words and phrases that anyone may consider to be offensive. Errors in the CC  
can causeTVG to miss words or phrases.TVG works on media that includes closed captioning information. Some  
companies may not include CC on all of their DVDs, you can verify whether a DVD movie supports closed captioning  
by identifying the CC logo on the back cover of the DVD movie case.  
• Replaced closed captioning phrases are provided through theTV’s closed caption decoder. If theTV does not have a  
closed caption decoder, replaced phrases may not be displayed. Regardless,TVG will mute the filtered language.

Maintenance of Cabinet  
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord  
from the AC outlet.  
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.  
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.  
Formation of Condensation  
• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air  
comes in contact with any cold parts inside the player.  
• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this  
occurs, leave the player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry  
and operational.  
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth  
from the center hole toward the outer edge.  
Handling Discs

the center.  
• Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.  
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.  
Cleaning Discs  
• Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance.Always keep discs clean by  
wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.  
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well.Wipe the dirt away  
gently, and remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

Recommendations and Information Concerning Discs  
CD-R and CD-RW discs  
This player can play most CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the recorder of the  
discs of your personal computer, the type of disc and recording method used, some discs might  
not play, or the performance might not meet the expected standard of quality.When playing a  
CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc  
before it plays. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and  
then insert it again. If after several trials, the disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have  
followed the recommendations below or try another type of disc.  
Whatever the actual recording capacity of a disc, do not fill it to maximum capacity.  
Use CD-R discs rather than CD-RW (re-recordable CDs), as replay of CD-RWs may  
sometimes not work properly.  
Use a reliable and good quality recording software.  
Before recording on a disc, close all applications on you personal computer in order to  
optimize the quality and reliability of recordings on the disc.  
CD-R and CD-RW discs with mp3 format “Sound” files  
In the case of discs that include mp3 files, follow not only the general recommendations for CD-  
R and CD-RW discs, but also the following specific recommendations:  
The format of your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET.These files are compatible with  
DOS and Windows applications as well as with Mac OS.  
Your mp3 files must have a name no longer than 12 characters as well as the suffix “.mp3”.  
They must be recorded in the form: title.mp3. Ensure that you do not leave spaces or use  
special characters such as ( . , / , \ , = ,+) in the name.  
Do not attempt to record protected mp3 files. Such files are coded and protected.  
Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording  
mp3 files. Sound quality with mp3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/  
decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital  
sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec.  
However, choosing higher rates, like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better sound  
quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly.  
Important:The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3  
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.You should note that certain technologies and methods for  
mp3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (that is degraded  
sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file or files).

Additional Information  
CD-R and CD-RW discs with JPEG format “image” files  
To view your JPEG images on a TV set you do not need to record your photographs with a  
resolution above 400,000 pixels (which corresponds to an image format of about 720 x 576  
dots) because of the resolution of most TVs. Due to this, reduce the quality of your photographs  
before recording on a disc in order not to impede the proper running of your player.This is  
because excessively loaded pictures would slow down or might prevent the proper functioning  
of the slide show during playback on your player. Compatibility of JPEG files depends on the  
software on which they were created and on the size of files expressed in pixels. Some JPEG files,  
including continuous JPEG files (displayed in stages) cannot be played on this player.  
Video CD (VCD) discs  
VCD (Video Compact Disc) discs enable up to 74 minutes ofVHS quality video associated with  
still pictures, audio tracks and interactive menus to be recorded on a CD.  
SuperVideo CD (SVCD) discs  
SVCD (SuperVideo Compact Disc) discs comply with standard IEC62107, making it possible to  
record up to 70 minutes of digital images and sound at standard MPEG-2 for video and MPEG-1  
for audio. Compatibility of SVCD discs depends on the MPEG coding software, the disc design  
software, as well as the recording software used and the discs themselves.  
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs  
Your player can play DVD-R and DVD+R (single recording) and DVD-RW and DVD+RW  
(re-recordable) discs. Recordings on DVD-RW discs must be made in DVDVideo mode.  
Recordings on DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for the 4.7  
GB capacity DVD+RW disc format. Compatibility is dependent on which DVD writer, writer  
software and disks are used.  
Important: Despite considerable progress made in providing compatibility with as many different discs  
as possible, reading of discs not conforming to Audio CD,Video CD and SuperVideo CD (S-VCD) disc  
standards cannot be guaranteed.

Provide you with a new, or at our option, a refurbished unit. The exchange unit is under warranty  
for the remainder of the original product’s warranty period. We will bill you a flat exchange  
charge to replace a defective unit. This charge covers the labor cost for its repair.

Properly pack your unit. Include any cables, etc., which were originally provided with the  
product. We recommend using the original carton and packing materials.

product is within the warranty period must be presented to obtain warranty service. For  
rental firms, proof of first rental is also required.  
Also print your name and address and a description of the defect. Send via standard UPS or  
its equivalent to:
