Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1
Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2
Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5
Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3
Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
¶ As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

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.

Care of disc
– To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents, as they may damage the disc!
– Write only on the printed side of a
CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the surface.
Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.

Analogue: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analogue 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: 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 seconds, 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.
Clear voice: It enables the digital sound processor to extract the voice dynamics in movie dialog on all 5 surround channels without compromising on the location accuracy and the width of the surround sound.
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.
Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analogue does.
Dolby Digital:
A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories capable of delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio
(front left and right, surround left and right and
LFE).
DTS:
Digital Theatre Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from
Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.
MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format.
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound field.
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.
Glossary
Parental level: 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 analogue 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 reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.
Plug and Play: After power up, the system will prompt the user to proceed with the automatic installation of radio stations by simply pressing the PLAY button on the main unit.
Region code: A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the region designated beforehand. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on 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 the luminance and the colour. You can use S-Video only if your TV has
S-video In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of sampling data when analogue data is converted to digital data Sampling frequency numerically represents how many time the original analogue signal is sampled per second.
Seating control: It gives the user a perfect sound and movie experience anywhere in the room, providing maximum flexibility and real total immersion because the user can choose their preferred seat.
Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio format is based upon the current CD standards but includes a greater amount of information which provides higher quality sound. There are three types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs.
The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and Super Audio CD information.
Surround: A system for creating realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
Title: The longest section of a picture or music feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the
DVD System that sends video to a TV.
