Technicolor Thomson DVD Player DTH190 User Manual

DTH190_EN 9/07/02 17:43 Page 1  
Precautions  
Setting up  
Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located at  
the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around  
it for ventilation (7-10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack other, or heavy  
equipments on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become  
hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty.  
This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not  
disconnect the electricity supply. In order to separate the player completely from the mains, it has to be  
disconnected by unplugging the mains plug, especially when left unused for a long period of time.  
EN  
Caution  
Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or  
electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Disconnect the power cable from the mains electricity supply if the player  
malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only.  
Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sale or other business  
purposes is or may be a violation of copyright law.  
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER  
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT UNDER  
CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE SPECIFIED ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.  
Condensation  
If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation in the winter,  
wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.  
For your safety  
Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile components.  
You could receive an electric shock or touch the laser beam. Do not place your eyes close to the opening of the  
disc tray or any other opening to look inside the player.  
Discs  
Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole. Always place disc with the  
label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc). Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper  
guide area. Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border. Always put  
discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position. Never try to play a Photo CD. Never use  
record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc surface is dirty. Wipe  
gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular motion, since circular scratches are  
likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.  
DVD copy protection  
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system, which  
can be triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the concerned DVD disc  
onto a videotape of very poor picture quality, or even impossible. “This product incorporates copyright  
protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property  
rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology  
must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home use only unless otherwise authorized

Dear customer,  
Please note that when this product will reaches the end of its service life, you will need to take responsibility for  
any special handling needed in its disposal.  
THOMSON multimedia shall not be responsible if the player is not used according to this manual.

What’s MP3?  
MP3 is the audio file format allowing you to easily compress music recordings.  
The main advantage of MP3 is that it enables storage of CD-quality music tracks on a home computer  
in manageable, compressed files.  
Thanks to compression you now only need about 4 Mb of disc space for a 4 minute music track,  
compared with some 40 Mb for conventional file formats, but with almost no reduction in listening  
quality!  
• Please read also our recommendations about MP3 discs, on page 2.  
MP3 CD Playback  
When you play an MP3 disc, the MP3 menu will be  
displayed instead of the DVD player menu. The DVD  
player menu is not available when playing MP3  
discs. MP3 content is divided into album(s) and  
songs. A disc may hold several albums and each  
album can contain several songs. (Similar to titles  
and chapters on a DVD disc.)  
• Use the remote control Navigation keys to select  
albums and songs.  
• As computer files, several levels (several albums)  
may be recorded on a disc.  
Song skip  
• Press repeatedly on the ¨¨| or |Ãà keys to go to the previous song or to the next one. Press as  
many times as the number of songs you want to skip (wait a few seconds after each press).
