PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your

(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields
(i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the
player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use. Use of
this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in
cold temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter,
wait approxi mately 2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature
before using.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
The batteries used with this product contain chemicals that are harmful to
the environment.

HDMI Auto Detection Function
The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when connecting an HDMI cable
while power is on.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.
Using HDMI, the DVD Home Theater transmits a digital video and audio signals and displays a vivid picture.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data.
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the
screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is
digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD Home Theater) or an analog-to-digital converter (in
the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI
technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via HDMI
from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device
(TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
What is Anynet+?
Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+
feature.
- If your Samsung TV has an
logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.
- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on
automatically and switch to HDMI mode.
- If you turn on the player and press the Play button with a disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on
and switch to HDMI mode.
