General Information  
Hi-FiTube Sound from DVD Micro  
Theatre  
Features  
Your DVD MicroTheatre with 2.0 channel full  
digital amplifier creates the same dynamic sound  
qualities that you find in full-fledged cinemas and  
incorporates some of the best features in home  
theater technology.  
Why do I need it?  
You deserve an immersive sound experience like  
an audiophile.  
The built-in vacuum tube preamplifier enables  
you to experience the highest quality sound  
normally you can only find in premium Hi-Fi  
audio equipment.  
Other features include:  
Built-in Dolby Digital decoder, supporting DSC  
sound setting.  
Music is dynamic and is played to be heard by  
human ears.The analogue nature of tube gives a  
more pleasing sound to the nonlinear human  
ear-brain hearing system.Tube sound has less  
distortion than solid-state sound and audiophiles  
always prefer tubes for their clean, warm and far  
more detailed and life-like sound.  
Additional Component Connections  
Lets you connect other audio and audio/visual  
components to the DVD micro theatre.  
Night mode  
Lets you compress the dynamic range, reducing  
the difference in loudness between different  
sounds in Dolby Digital mode.  
What is it?  
Vacuum tube is not something new, but always a  
premium.  
Parental Control (Rating Level)  
Lets you set a ratings level so that your children  
cannot watch a DVD that has a rating higher  
than you set.  
Before the introduction of transistors, most  
electronic amplifier used vacuum tubes. By 60s',  
solid-state amplification became more common,  
but tube amplifier has retained a loyal following  
among audiophiles with modern units from  
companies commanding very high price.  
Sleep/Wake-upTimer  
Enables the system to switch on/off automatically  
at a preset time.  
How does it work?  
Amplifiers are available based on solid-state  
(semiconductor) technology or vacuum-tube  
(valve) technology. Many audiophile systems  
separate the functions of the preamplifier-which  
selects audio signals and has a volume control-  
and the power amplifier, which takes a line-level  
audio signal and drives the loudspeakers.  
Audiophiles find the tube preamplifier product a  
more faithful and detailed reproduction in  
comparison to the solid-state preamplifier.  
Progressive Scan  
Provides high quality flicker-free images for film  
based sources.When a picture refreshes, its  
vertical resolution can double to 525 lines.  
Note:  
– To fully enjoy the progressive scan feature, you  
need a progressive scanTV.

Environmental information  
Maintenance  
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We  
have tried to make the packaging easy to  
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),  
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,  
protective foam sheet).  
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a  
cleaning cloth.Wipe the disc from the center out,  
in a straight line.  
Do not expose the player, batteries or discs to  
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by  
heating equipment or direct sunlight).Always  
keep the disc tray closed to avoid dust on the  
lens.  
Your system consists of materials which can be  
recycled and reused if disassembled by a  
specialised company. Please observe the local  
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging  
materials, exhausted batteries and old  
equipment.  
Do not use solvents such as  
benzene, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for colour discs.  
Installation  
Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.  
The lens may cloud over when  
the player is suddenly moved  
from cold to warm surroundings, making it  
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the  
warm environment until the moisture  
evaporates.  
In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free  
space all around the player for adequate  
ventilation.

Glossary  
Parental control: A function of the DVD to  
limit playback of the disc by the age of the users

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.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system  
for converting analog sound signal to digital  
signal for later processing without data  
compression.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal  
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for  
reproduction control. By using screen menus  
recorded on aVideo CD or SVCD that supports  
PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as  
well as software having a search function.  
Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the  
horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a  
signal frame. This system can convert interlaced  
video from DVD into progressive format for  
connection to a progressive display. It  
dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A  
progressive scanTV set is needed to receive  
progressive scan output from the system.  
Region code: A system allowing discs to be  
played only in preset regions.This unit will only  
play discs that have compatible region codes.You  
can find the region code of your unit from the  
product label. Some discs are compatible with

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending  
separate signals for luminance and the color.You  
can use S-Video only if yourTV set has S-Video  
In jack.

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a  
given length of music; measured in kilobits per  
second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you  
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate the  
better the sound quality. However, higher bit  
rates use more space on a Disc.  
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
