To prevent

damage

Avoid the following; oSpraying flammable insecticides near the unit.

ePressing the LCD.

eTouching the Iens and other parts of the laser pickup.

Do not use the unit in the following places; oWhere the temperature is below 5 °C (41 °F) or above 35 °C (95 °F). (Operating the unit beyond this range can cause the protection circuitry to function and render the unit inoperable.)

eSandy

places such as beaches.

eOn top of cushions, sofas_ or hot equipment such as amplifiers.

Listening caution

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.

Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle, g may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous sitealions.

Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

Sound can be deceiving.

Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually he loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level: oStert your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: oSet the dial and leave it there.

Bitstream

The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g.,

5.1 channel) before decoding.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on

DVDs to normal.

This is called decoding.

Dotby Digital

This is a method of coding digitel signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.

Apad from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on the disc using this method.

Dotby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for p_ay. The surround channel is monaura_ and can reproduce up to

7 kHz.

DTS (Digital

Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possibte.

Dynamic

range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest tevel of sound before distodion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second.

A frame still may appear blurred but overstl quality is high.

Two ffe_ds appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not blurred but picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

h Infra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or

P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing

past

and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can sstect scenes and information w_th menus.
