Technicolor Thomson DVD Player DTH700 User Manual

DTH700_EN 13/08/02 15:25 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

EN  
• No banner is displayed when JPEG image files are being shown.  
JPEG information: Visualizing a JPEG photo on the screen of your TV does not require large resolutions.  
We recommend that you reduce the size of your files with a suitable software package with a photography  
retouching software before -recording. Some JPEG files might conflict with the DVD Player. Some JPEG files  
might not be capable of being displayed. If one or more of the JPEG files is too large for the DVD player to  
read, Incompatible picture size appears on the screen. Also, when a disc contains multiple files, a larger file  
can sometimes block the player from displaying all of the other JPEG files on the disc.  
What’s MP3?  
MP3 is the audio file format allowing you to easily compress music recordings, and was  
co-developed by  
.
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!  
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

About Audio DVDs  
Audio DVD is a new digital recording format for audio discs. This format is based on the  
success of Video DVDs containing 5.1 multichannel sound.  
Audio DVD therefore gives you new sound sensations by spreading the sound over 6  
loudspeakers (6 x 96 KHz/24 bits analogue channels). If possible, therefore, you should  
connect the player to a 5.1 amplifier using the 6 channels (marked (5) on page 6) as this gives  
the best 5.1 sound quality. Connecting the player in this way is also recommended for Video  
DVDs.  
The digital connections (marked 1 on page 6) should only be used with an amplifier that has  
(1)  
no 5.1 analogue input connections. The audio sound quality is not as good as through the  
5.1 connections.  
Many Audio DVDs contain video, in the form of information (bibliographies, titles list, etc.),  
video clips, photos, etc.  
Groups  
Some discs are divided into several groups that are accessed through the functions banne (1)  
.
While a disc is playing, press the remote control’s info key and use the navigation keys to  
select the group icon (G:2) and then display which groups are available.  
Browser (Browse)  
(2)  
Audio DVDs  
contain large amounts of varied information. The way in which this  
information is presented varies from one disc to another. With some Audio DVDs, you can  
display the images contained on the disc, one at a time, using the info banners Browser  
(Browse) icon.  
While a disc is playing, press the remote control’s info key and use the navigation keys to  
select the browser icon (Browse) and then display the different headings contained on the  
disc.  
In accordance with the DVD standard and the  
protection of copyright, the quality of the Audio  
signals available through the digital output  
connections (marked (1) on page 6) is limited, to  
match that of Audio CDs (48 KHz/16 bits).  
Hidden information is sometimes contained on a  
disc. To see this information, you must first enter  
a password, which is generally shown on the  
discs cover or on the disc itself. This password  
is only linked to the disc; it is unrelated to your  
player. The discs password can sometimes be  
found on the publishers Web site.  
1.  
2.  
What is contained on Audio DVDs depends on  
their publishers. The icons displayed in the  
functions banner may therefore vary.  
Important: Unlike Video DVDs, Audio DVDs do not have a Region code. You can therefore buy Audio DVDs  
anywhere in the world.  
To play an Audio DVD on 2 loudspeakers in very high quality stereo, if the Audio DVD provides a 192 KHz/24  
bits signal you should use the 2 stereo channels, L and R (marked (8) on page 6).

CD-Rs and MP3 files  
- (Recommendations)  
About CD-R discs  
This unit can play most CD-R discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-recorder,  
computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing  
a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc  
before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the  
disc, and then insert it again. If after several trials, this disc cannot be recognized, make sure  
you have followed the recommendations below or try another type of disc. There are two main  
types of recordable CDs:  
EN  
- CD-R audio discs (for music only), which should be used when recording with Hifi CD-audio  
recorder.  
- CD-R Data discs are designed for recording via a CD writer on a personal computer. Use  
these discs as a preference.  
• As a preference, opt for CD-Rs instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW  
playback may be faulty.  
• As a preference, opt for 74-min (650 Mb) CD-Rs instead of 80-min (700 Mb) CD-Rs.  
• Fermer toutes les applications de votre ordinateur personnel afin d’optimiser la qualité et la fiabilité  
de vos enregistrements sur le disque.  
• Use reliable, good-quality CD writing software.  
• Whatever the real recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use more than 630 Mb of recording space  
on the disc.  
Make sure that the recording is “long enough” to be played. If the recording is too short, disc  
identification time may be increased.  
About MP3 files copied onto CD-Rs  
In the case of CD-R MP 3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus  
the comments below:  
Format  
Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files  
are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, and with Apple’s Mac. These two formats are  
the most widely used.  
Name  
When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 12 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file  
extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title ensure that you use 8  
characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including  
( . , / , \ , = ,+).  
Compression  
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.  
Protection  
Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files. “securized” files are encrypted and code  
protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows Media™  
(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI™ (registered trade mark of The SDMI  
Foundation). You must not copy such files.  
1.  
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).
