INFORMATION AND SAFETY ____________
This DVD player is designed to play back video and audio signals from
compact discs (DVDs and CDs).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example
if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains
supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a DVD.
The DVD player is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors,
make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or splashing water.
Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the DVD player, or any cloth or similar items under-
neath it.
Do not place the DVD player directly on top of an AV receiver or a sub-
woofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.
Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight,
as this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD player.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage caused by improper handling.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player,
as they may tip over and spill the liquid, which poses an electrical hazard.
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the DVD player or in its
immediate surroundings.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player
is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
remove the power plug during a thunder storm.
If the DVD player cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a commercially
available cleaning-CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods
may damage the laser optics.
When setting up the DVD player, note that furniture is often coated with
various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain chemical additives.
These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave
stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to
remove.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch
off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the power supply unit into the mains after you have connected the
external devices.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS________________________

ENGLISH

DVD features
You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the label.
The discs have one or more tracks depending on the content of the
DVD.
Each track can contain one or more chapter. Selecting the track and
chapter is simple and convenient.
You can control and direct playback of the DVD using the DVD
player’s menu.
Special DVD features
DVDs have an overview of all the tracks and track sections in the
track menu.
Some of the DVD player functions, such as slow motion, freeze-
frame and auto-play, can also be controlled by the DVD itself.
Because of this you may not be able to select these functions during
certain scenes.
Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages.
You can select the language you prefer.
Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer with subtitles in several
languages. You can select subtitles from up to 32 languages.
Films are released at different times in different parts of the world.
This is why all DVD players all over the world have a regional code.
The regional code for your DVD player is 2.
DVDs can also have other regional codes. If you insert a DVD with
a different regional code into the DVD player, a message appears
on the screen with the regional code. The DVD cannot be played.
Notes:
If the » « symbol appears on the screen, then the selected
function is not possible with this DVD.
DISC FEATURES ____________________________________

18
MP4 video CD features
An MP4 video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 com-
pression system, which is used to decrypt and display compressed
video data.
This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the
DivX©format. This results in playback quality with fewer artefacts
and higher compression.
MP4 video files have the suffix .AVI. MP4 video data is packed into
the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3
data, this means: MP4 video and MP3 audio form the AVI file.
MP3 CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. The MP3 format allows you
to store audio data with the quality of a CD on your computer. The
standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. The funda-
mental rule applies: the higher the bit rate of a file, the better the
sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps.
160 kbps is considered CD quality. MP3 files can be downloaded
from the Internet and then burned onto a CD ROM disc using
suitable PC software.
In MP3 mode, the terms “album” and “file” are very important.
“Album” corresponds to a folder on a PC, “file” to a file on a PC or
a CD-DA track.
JPEG or picture CD features
JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was
designed to compress picture files.
The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This
structure is similar to that of an MP3 CD. JPEG CDs only contain
data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly data from digital
cameras or from imaging programs. The data (images) can be
displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.
Audio CD features
An audio CD (CD-DA) is identified by this logo. Audio CDs only
contain sound recordings. They can be played in the normal
manner on an audio system. The individual tracks are stored in a
sequence. There are no folders.
As well as audio CDs, the DVD player can read CD-Rs and
CD-RWs with audio data.
