INTRODUCTION
Your portable DVD player
Your portable DVD player plays digital video discs conforming to the universal
DVD Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with
true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the
disc and on your playback set-up).
The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of soundtrack and subtitle
languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all
included.
What’s more, parental lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able
to see. You will find your player remarkably easy to use with the On-Screen
Display and player display in combination with the remote control.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume:
• Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This
product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hear-
ing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute.
The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have
already experienced some hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to high-
er volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your
volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones:
• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skate-
boarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
