Reference

Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2 Channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

4

The Digital Theater System (DTS) is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theatres around the world, It allows the bit rate to be increased in order to provide good sound quality without excessively compressing the data.

Linear PCM (LPCM) is a signal-recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded at 48-kHz/16 bit up to 96kHz/24 bit.

If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide fill 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Digital mark

The digital audio output connector (optical) converts electrical signals into optical signals (light) and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical signals are immune from electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on other equipment.

CARE AND SERVICE OF THE DVD PLAYER

Environmental Extremes

Exposing the D1800 to harsh environmental conditions may be damaged or may perform at less than maximum capability. Whenever possible avoid exposing your DVD player to:

???Extremely Hot or Cold Temperatures.

???Direct Sunlight.

???High Humidity.

???Dusty Environment.

???Locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.

???Humidity and Moisture Condensation

Temperature Extremes

When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.

Humidity and Moisture Condensation

Under extremely humid conditions or when moving the DVD Player from a cold place to a warm place moisture in the air may condense. Moisture condensation may cause damage to the DVD and/or player. If moisture condensation occurs, do not insert a CD or DVD into the player. If one is already in the player, remove it. Turn the DVD Player ON to dry the moisture before inserting a DVD.

Foreign Substances

Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the DVD Player compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto the media controls or into the system. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF and consult a qualified service technician.

Cleaning the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

Clean the display screen by using a damp soft cloth. Rub the screen gently until the dust, dirt or fingerprints are removed. Do not spray the screen directly with water or glass cleaning solvents. Over spray from these fluids could drip down into the internal electronics of the screen and cause damage. Do not apply excessive pressure while cleaning the screen.

Cleaning Compact Discs

Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to the edge. Do not use circular motion.
