Connecting a TV  
4. Component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr)  
(YUV)  
EN  
There are several ways in which you can  
incorporate your unit into an Audio-Video  
system. This depends on the sockets and  
other appliances you have. Sound and image  
quality depend to a large extent on the types  
of connections used.  
EN  
1. If you intend to use your Small Wonder Memory Maker for watching DVD or recording  
The Y, Pb, Pr sockets deliver an optimum  
image quality due to the separation of the  
video signal into three separate  
other external sources (e.g. TV, digital camcorder), you MUST connect the unit to the TV  
with the supplied audio video cables (color-coded red, white and yellow).  
These are the audio/video cables. The yellow cable carries the video signal,  
and the red and white cables carry the audio signal.  
components.  
To obtain the best image quality possible,  
use very high quality cables for  
connections. Your dealer can provide YUV  
cables that are sold together and come in  
the standard colour codes (red, green and  
blue) used for these types of sockets and  
cables.  
If you use the Component sockets Y, Pb, Pr  
(also called YUV), you must configure the  
output video signal so that these sockets  
deliver either an interlaced YUV signal  
(component interlaced) or a progressive PS  
signal (component progressive) by pressing  
VIDEO OUT on the remote control.  
Do not forget to also connect the audio  
cables, because Component cables only  
transmit images, and not sound.

the AV button on the TV remote control until you get to the video input channel that

the right channel, you can see the unit’s player menu. Since access to a TV’s video input  
channel varies from one manufacturer to the next, it is difficult to provide specific  
instructions for your particular brand. Please refer to the user manual of your TV.

Disc will not play  
Many problems encountered when playing  
(or recording) a disc are related to the  
wide variation in disc quality due to the  
large number of brands and  
manufacturers. We highly recommend  
using discs from a reputable manufacturer.  
If you encounter problems with one brand,  
please try another brand.  
Insert a disc with the label side facing up.  
Check the type of disc you put into the  
player. This player only plays DVD video  
discs, Video CDs (VCD and SVCD), audio  
CDs, and CDs with true mp3, and/or JPEG  
files, or WMA files. mp3 files that have  
been converted to MPX files (or similar  
types of files) will not be recognized by  
the unit. If you try to play an incompatible  
disc type, “BAD DISC” appears on the TV.  
Both the unit and pre-recorded DVD movie  
discs are coded by region. If the regional  
codes do not match, the disc cannot be  
played. This unit is Region No. 1 for North  
America. Region coding is not applicable  
to discs you use to record.

mp3 files problems  
The disc is dirty. Clean it.

Some discs have sections that prohibit

You cannot advance through the opening

prohibit that action.  
The following recommendations cannot be  
taken as a guarantee that the unit will play  
mp3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound  
quality. Certain technologies and methods for  
mp3 file recording on CD-R discs prevent  
optimal playback of these files on your  
product.  
The picture is distorted and/or fuzzy, or  
“jumps” during disc playback  
Camcorder problems  
Camcorder does not turn on when connected  
to the unit  
The disc might be damaged or scratched.  
Try another disc.  
Make sure the file is a true mp3 file. You  
can only play true mp3 files in the unit —  
some products use software to compress  
mp3 files and convert them to other  
formats such as MPX. Your unit will not  
recognize or play MPX files or other types  
of converted mp3 files. Also, if the mp3  
file is copy protected from a secure  
download site, it may not play.  
Subtitle and/or audio language is not the one  
selected from the initial setting  
Make sure you turned on the unit before  
connecting the camcorder.  
Make sure batteries (with sufficient  
battery power) are installed in the  
camcorder.  
It is normal for some distortion to appear  
during forward or reverse scan.  
If the subtitle and/or audio language does  
not exist on the disc, the disc’s priority  
language will be selected instead. Press  
the SUBTITLE or AUDIO buttons to access  
the available settings, and press OK to  
select them.  
The disc might be dirty. Clean it.  
Some discs have defects that cause them  
to jump from one scene to the next.  
The unit may be in progressive scan video  
mode. Press the VIDEO OUT button to

Disconnect the camcorder and reconnect

When naming mp3 files, do not exceed 12  
characters, and enter .mp3 as the file  
extension. When using a general name  
format of: Title.mp3, make sure the title is  
8 characters or less, do not use spaces, and  
do not use special characters (such as, =. +,

Whatever the real recording capacity of  
the CD-R, do not use more than 630MB of  
recording space on the disc.  
Change the TV shape setting for optimal  
viewing.  
Use a decompression transfer rate of at  
least 128 kb/sec (kilobits/second) when  
recording mp3 files. Sound quality with  
mp3 files basically depends on the rate of  
compression 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.  
automatically switches between  
progressive scan and regular interlace  
because progressive scan is only available  
when you play DVD discs. As the signal is  
converted from interlace to progressive  
(and vice versa), the recorder  
resynchronizes the signal. Depending upon  
your TV, this resynchronization process  
might cause a slight “jump” in the picture  
when you start playing a DVD disc and  
again when you return to watching TV.  
Recording Problems  
Not enough space on the DVD+R or DVD+RW  
disc  
To get more recording time, you can

titles to create more space.
