pages.

• Connect Power to the DVD Player.

• The DVD Player should have the Standby Light illuminated.

• Press the Power on key (either on the panel or the remote control), the

player will be in DVD mode.

• Press DVD on the remote control, the DVD Player will switch on in DVD mode.

After a few seconds the panel will show “NO DISC”.

• Switch on your TV and select the AV input that the DVD Player is connected to.

You should see the DVD Screen and a message “Insert a disc”.

• Press the open key (on the panel or the remote control). The drawer will open.

Place a DVD in the drawer, and press close (same as open). The player will read

the disc and start playing it. Before the movie starts to play, a menu will be

shown. You will need to select ‘PLAY MOVIE’ and press [OK] before the movie

will start.

• Although you can watch a movie immediately, to get the best result from

your Home Theater, you should now press ‘STOP’ and proceed to do the

system setup options on the next page. This will set up all the f unctions

on your theater. You only need to do this when you first install your Home

Theater.

• If you choose to watch the movie you can find out about DVD options and

navigation of the DVD disc in the section “Playing a DVD disc” and onward.

DISC YOU CAN PLAY

While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible

with the largest number of discs possible, however it cannot be guaranteed

that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio

CD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility

with this player depends on the CD/DVD writer, the right sof tware and the

disc used.

DVD-Video

Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or double sided, single or dual

layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on which high quality picture and

audio are recorded by means of digital signals.

DVD-R, DVD-RW

Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs

(rewritable). Depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using

DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings

using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specif ications

for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.

Video CD(VCD)

VCD stands for Video Compact Disc which contains video footage, still images,

audio tracks and interactive menus.

Audio CDs

Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).

CD+G

CD+G is a Karaoke music format. The song words will be displayed on the TV

screen and change color when it is time to sing the lyrics. There are no

video scenes (movies) in the background.

CD-R & CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable). This player

can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multi-session recording

can also be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is

played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition

of the CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs

will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for

the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If

the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and

then insert it again.

• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full

capacity.

• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in

certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.

• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.

• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc

recording.

MP3 Files

CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3 format. As for CD-R

MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with

the comments below:

• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and

Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows,

as well as with Apple Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.

• MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters, and should end with the

“.MP3” extension. General name format: “Title.MP3”. When composing your

title ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name,

and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128kB/sec (kilobytes/second)

when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on

the rate of compression / decompression you choose. Obtaining

audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is converted

to MP3 format, of at least 128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher rates,

such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely produce better sound quality. Conversely,

files with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play properly.

• Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3 files. “Secured” files are encrypted

and code-protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not copy such files.

Important:

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD

player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You

should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording

on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e.

degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to

read the file).

WMA Files

CD-R with WMA files. Usable format similar to MP3 files; also see “MP3

Files” for reference.

JPEG Files

CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. JPEG is compressed image file format. Your

player can play JPEG files with a resolution of up to five million (5 mega) pixels.

However, there is no perceptible improvement in the quality of pictures displayed on

your TV screen beyond 400,000 pixels.

Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.

Note: Display time will vary according to the file size and number of pixels of JPEG

files. The limitation of JPEG files size is 2M bytes.

DivX Files

DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new

MPEG-4 compression standard for video. The correct playback of DivX files on this

player depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the

codec used, the type of recording equipment used and the parameters of your

computer. It may therefore happen that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all

of it is defective.

DivX disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

• The maximum resolution of the DivX file is below 720x576 (WxH) pixel.

• DivX filename should not exceed 56 characters.

• If the video and audio structure of recorded file is not interleaved, either video or

audio is outputted.

• If the file is recorded with GMC, the unit supports only 1-point GMC. GMC is the

acronym for Global Motion Compensation .It is an encoding tool specified in

MPEG4 standard. Some MPEG4 encoders, like DivX or XviD, have this option.

There are different levels of GMC encoding, usually called 1-point, 2-point, or 3-

point GMC.

sound reproduction.This 5.1 channel digital surround format enables five individual

full-range (120Hz-20KHz) channels plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel

for the low-range (20Hz-120Hz) effects. It creates a realistic sound similar to the

theaters and cinemas. A large proportion of DVD discs use this system for sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby

Surround decoding. It creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-

channel sources.

This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that

extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any

new sounds or tonal colorations. Diferent mode Pro Logic II mode are available:

Pro Logic - it offers users the robust surround processing of the original Pro Logic.

Music - it’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (without

video), and is optional for A/V systems.

Movie - It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround channels and

no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channels

and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V

systems.

Dimension - A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-channel

input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards

the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the

surrounds, it can be adjusted “forward” to get a better balance.

Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding,

it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing result.

Panorama - Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an

exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging.

Center Width Control - With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come

only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits

the center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom”

center image. The Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the center

image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right

speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.

Note: Pro LogicII mode is disabled when playing MP3/WMA.

3 Stereo

3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound

from a two channels analog signal. It is not a surround format so it does

not require surround speakers.

Soundfield Effects

The digital Soundfield Effects recreates the effects of sounds reflected from

walls or ceilings to obtain the sound presence of real environments.

- Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.

- Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front speakers.

- Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music such

as classical and opera.

- Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of

music that are played in disco.

- Live: suitable for all types of music.
