NTSC/PAL Viewing Area Standards
This player was configured to meet the
broadcastingstandardused in your coun-
try or area while in the factory. Under nor-
mal conditions, you need not adjust the
PAL /NTSCsetting. Most of Asia (exclud-
ing China) and the Americas use the
NTSCbroadcasting standard.Europe,Ja-
pan, and China / Hong Kong use the PAL
broadcasting standard. If you use this
product in an area using a standard dif-
ferent from your own, simply turn off the
power, select the appropriate NTSC/PAL
settingonthe back of the player, then turn
backon the power. Viewingdiscprograms
on hook up TVs with different broadcast-
ing standard will yield
poor image quality.
NOTE
Copy Guard Protection:
When the DVD player audio/video output is plugged into
the A/V input jacks of a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)
using the audio/video cables, (red, white and yellow
RCA jacks) poor picture quality may result (i.e. screen
on TV getting brighter and dimmer) due to Macrovision
copy guard protection contained on some DVD discs.
NOTE
When the DVD player is used with the battery as a
power source, ensure that the battery has been charged
for at least eight hours prior to connecting it to the DVD
player. In certain situations connecting a low charged
battery to the DVD player can result in a lock up of the
DVD player Controls. If this occurs, unplug the battery
from the DVD player and let the unit sit for 10 minutes
before plugging into the AC Adapter or connecting a
fully charged battery.

The player can play the following formats - DVD, SVCD (Super VCD),
VCD, and music CD. The player automatically recognizes the appropriate
format so all you need do is put in the disc, sit back, and enjoy.
To ensure the slimmest, lightest design possible, your player does not
come equipped with an on board monitor screen. To enjoy the fullest ef-
fects of your player, you will need to connect the included AV signal wires
into a television, amplifier, tape deck, or other AV peripheral equipment.
To enjoy audio, however, you need simply to connect up the standard
3.5mm earphones.
