Before Use (Cont???d)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun- light, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic- ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen- ter out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Video Programme System (VPS)

The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the TV programmes that you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the pro- gramme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted auto- matically and resumed when the programme contin- ues.

The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the video recorder.

VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not broadcasting these signals.

*** The similar system PDC, which is used in the time being in the Netherlands, can also be used with your new video recorder.

The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ???.mp3???.

About WMA(Window Media Audio)

An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology.

WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1.Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1 kHz (MP3), 32-44 kHz (WMA)

2.Bit rate / within 32-320 kbps (MP3), 48-80 kbps (WMA)

3.CD-R physical format should be ???ISO 9660???

4.If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example ???Direct-CD??? etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use ???Easy- CD Creator???, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5.A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6.File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate ???.mp3??? or ???.wma??? extension e.g. ???********.MP3??? or ???********.WMA???.

7.Do not use special letters such as ???/ : * ? ??? < > ??? etc.

8.Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
