Care and Safety Information
DANGER!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc
inside the player is dirty (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions).
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to qualified
personnel.
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.
Setup
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable
surface. Do not place the set on a
carpet.
– Do not put any equipment or heavy
objects on top of the set.
– Do not position the set on top of
other equipment that might heat it up
(such as receiver or amplifier).
– Do not put anything under the set
(such as CDs, magazines).
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog
discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the
DVD player 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.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent
internal heat build up. Allow at least
10 cm (4.0”) clearance from the rear
and the top of the set and 5cm (2.0”)
from the left and right to prevent
overheating.
5cm (2.0")
10cm (4.0")
10cm (4.0")
5cm (2.0")
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 (such as liquid filled
objects, lighted candles).

– Try to play the problem DivX® files, on a computer. If
they do not work, the source file appears to be corrupt.
– Try to download the file again from a different source, or

Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
Solution
No HDMI video output
– HDMI connection can only be made to HDMI-equipped
devices with HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection). Use a separate adaptor (DVI to HDMI) for
DVI TV connection (equipped with HDCP).
– Make sure the resolution of this DVD player matches the
TV device you have connected using the HDMI; See if the
TV supports 480p/576p/720p/1080i DVD player.
– When connecting to a non-HDCP complaint TV, the
HDCP warning message will appear.
– Check the connection between the TV and HDMI of
DVD player.
– During resolution selection for DVI TV, a distorted or
black screen may appear, see HDMI Video Setup.
No HDMI audio output
– There will be no 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
DVD audio souces from the HDMI connection.

Glossary
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has
specific numerical values. These jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.
MP3: A file format with a sound data compression
system. ‘MP3’ is the abbreviation of Motion Picture
Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using
MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about
10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
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.
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound
track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers
to a structure of sound tracks having three or more
channels.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD
System that send audio to another system (TV,
Stereo, etc.).
Parental Control: A function of the DVD to limit
playback of the disc by the age of the users according
to the limitation level in each country. The limitation
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback
will be prohibited if the software’s level is higher than
the user-set level.
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given
length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, 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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for
converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.
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.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a
Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy
interactive-type software as well as software having a
search function.
Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back
of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a
TV that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/
Pr, etc.).
Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal lines
of a picture at one time, as a signal frame. This
system can convert the interlaced video from DVD
into progressive format for connection to a
progressive display. It dramatically increases the
vertical resolution.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing
selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc
recorded on a DVD.
Digital: Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when you
use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or
OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through
multiple channels, instead of just two channels as
analog does.
DivX® 3.11/4.x/5.x/6.0: The DivX® codec 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.
Region code: A system for allowing discs to be
played back only in the region designated beforehand.
This unit will only play discs that have compatible
region codes. You can find the region code of your
unit by looking on the product label. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or ALL
regions).
Title: The longest section of a picture or music
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or the
entire album in audio software. Each title is assigned a
title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
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, center and subwoofer).
TV OUT jack: Jack on the back of the DVD System
that sends video to a TV.
WMA: Windows Media Audio. Refers to an audio
compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using
Windows Media Player version 9 or Windows Media
Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their
file extension “WMA.”
DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a surround
sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital.
The formats were developed by different companies.
JPEG: A very common digital still picture format. A
still-picture data compression system proposed by the
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features
small decrease in image quality in spite of its high
compression ratio.
HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface. A
specification developed by the HDMI Working Group
that combines multi-channel audio and high definition
video and that controls signals into a single digital
interface for use with DVD player, digital television,
and other audiovisual devices.
