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/AV

Subwoofer in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

– Write only on the printed side of a

CD-R/CD-RW and only with a soft felttipped pen.

– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the surface.

Care of the cabinet

You can choose to hang the speakers on the wall. Attach the supplied bracket firmly to the rear of speakers using the supplied screws. Then mount a screw

(not supplied) on the wall where the speaker is to be hung and hook the speaker securely onto the mounted screw.

CAUTION!

You should get a qualified person to attach the brackets to the wall. DO

NOT do it by yourself in order to avoid unexpected damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.

Helpful Hints:

– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR L

(left) or REAR R (right).

– The front speakers are labeled as

FRONT L (left) or FRONT R (right).

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except AV subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

1

Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2

Place the center speaker above the TV or the DVD system so that the center channel’s sound is localized.

3

Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall.

4

Place the AV subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Helpful Hints:

– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your

TV.

– Allow adequate ventilation around the

DVD system.

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.

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: 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.)

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.

DivX 3.11/4.x/5.x: The DivX code is a patentpending, MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed by DivXNetworks, Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the internet, while maintaining high visual quality.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, rear left and right, center and subwoofer).

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround program material; provides a convincing threedimensional soundfield on convertional stereo music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While conventional surround programming is fully campatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

DTS: Digital Theater 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.
