HELIOS H4000

HD Upscaling DVD Player

User’s Manual

Digital Revolution. Your Way.

General Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your new Helios H4000 HD Upscaling DVD player.

The H4000 is integrated with the latest cutting edge video technology. The main feature of the player is to upscale standard DVD titles and MPEG4 files to high definition resolution. In addition, the H4000 offers a large selection of High Definition video modes and connection options.

The player supports the following video modes and connection outputs:

Component Video output:

480i / 480p / 576i / 720p / 1080i / 1080p

HDMI video output

480i / 480p / 576i / 720p / 1080i / 1080p

VGA/RGB-HV Output:

VGA (640 X 480) / SVGA (800 X 600) / XGA (1024 X 768) / SXGA (1280 X 1024) /

720P / 1080i

How will I benefit from the H4000’s high definition video output?

If you own a HDTV (or any other high definition display device), you will only be able to play standard DVD titles to as high as 480p (NTSC progressive scan) or 576p

(PAL progressive scan) resolution video input. However, your HDTV actually has the capacity to show images much greater than 480p or 576p. Therefore, you are not getting the most out of your HDTV’s resolution.

The H4000 upscaling DVD player allows you to upscale standard DVD titles as well as MPEG4 files to as high as 1080p resolution. With its range of resolution options, you are able to select from a large number of resolutions in order to that right match with your HDTV’s native resolution. The result is a noticeably sharper and clearer image on the screen.

Proper Use and Handling of Discs

Do not touch the signal (reflective) surfaces. Hold discs by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the disc surface – this will unbalance the disc.

Do not scratch or damage the label – this will make the disc unreadable.

Discs run at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged (scratched or warped) discs.

Dirty discs can cause player malfunctions. Always keep discs clean by gently wiping the surface with a soft clean cloth (moving from the inner to the outer perimeter)

If a disc is dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring out the cloth thoroughly, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops from the disc with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anesthetic agents on discs. Never clean discs using benzene, thinner or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surfaces.

To avoid warping discs, store discs in their original cases. Do not leave discs under high temperature and humidity.
