General Information  
Installation  
Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.  
In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free  
space all around the player for adequate  
ventilation.  
Do not expose your player to extreme  
temperatures or humidity.  
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping  
or splashing.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall  
be placed on the apparatus.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,  
shall be placed on the apparatus.  
Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the  
AC power plug can be reached easily.  
The ventilation should not be impeded by  
covering the ventilation openings with items,  
such as newpapers, table-cloths, curtains, et.  
Maintenance  
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a  
cleaning cloth.Wipe the disc from the center out,  
in a straight line.  
Do not expose the player,  
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  
dust on the lens.  
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for colour discs.  
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.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system  
for converting analog sound signal to digital  
signal for later processing without data  
compression.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal  
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for  
reproduction control. By using screen menus  
recorded on aVideo CD or SVCD that supports  
PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as  
well as software having a search function.  
Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the  
horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a  
signal frame. This system can convert interlaced  
video from DVD into progressive format for  
connection to a progressive display. It  
dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A  
progressive scanTV set is needed to receive  
progressive scan output from the system.  
Region code: A system allowing discs to be

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending  
separate signals for luminance and the color.You  
can use S-Video only if yourTV set has S-Video

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a  
given length of music; measured in kilobits per  
second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you  
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate the  
better the sound quality. However, higher bit  
rates use more space on a Disc.
