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
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.
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
more than one region (or ALL regions).
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.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data
sampling when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically
represents how many times the original analog
signal is sampled per second.
Surround: A system for users to create
realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around
the listener.

horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventionalTVs. is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV set, Stereo, etc.).
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
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.
ComponentVideo Out Jacks: Jacks on the

compression system,“MPE”is the abbreviation of
Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3.Through the MP3 format, one
CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
