General Information

Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Do not expose the system, 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 getting dust on the lens.

Avoid condensation problem

– 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.

Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD system in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm

(4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

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.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Red and white jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV, 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, or the higher the recording speed, 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.

Component Video Out Jacks: Red, blue, and green jacks on the back of the DVD

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling playback. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive playback and searching.

Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame.
