Do not allow the power cord to overhang the edge of a table.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
To avoid interference, switch this unit off while operating other radio
devices in the immediate vicinity.

when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture. The product must not be exposed to dripping
and splashing and no object filled with liquids such as a vase of flowers
should be placed on the product.
No naked flame sources such as candles should be placed on the
product.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this device.
Usage of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

The mains operating voltage of this unit is on the rating
plate on the rear. In the UK this is 230/240 V.
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved
BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is
detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse
cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin
face of the plug. If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug,
dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE. As these colours may not correspond
to the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:

A GENERAL NOTE ON SCART CONNECTIONS
THE SCART connection is the default A/V connector in Europe and
its use is strongly recommended.
SCART connectors carry multiple video connections of which the
RGB connection offers the most acceptable picture and is widely
supported.
The DVD 105 offers both RGB and S-Video configurations. We
advise the player is setup to use RGB connectivity though there is
no reason why you should not use the S-Video configuration if
your TV set supports it.

CONNECTING THE PLAYER
SCART OUT
This is the player’s default connection mode and the most convenient to use. Both audio and video
signals are carried by the SCART lead.
Connect the SCART output of the DVD 105 to the SCART input of the TV set. If your TV has 2 SCART
connectors we suggest you use the connector which offers a choice of RGB and composite input.
The recommended setting is RGB (see Page 7). Please refer to your TV user manual to establish
whether the TV will support this feature.
Some TV sets offer composite video on SCART 2. Consult your TV user manual for details.only
Use only one of the connection methods described here
IF YOUR TV SET DOES NOT HAVE A DIRECT A/V INPUT
It may be possible to connect the DVD 105 to a VCR which
have A/V inputs and then play the VCR through the antenna input
of the TV set. This will produce an acceptable picture but will not
maximise the potential of the DVD medium.
Refer to your VCR manual to establish what connections the VCR
uses and use one of the connection methods described above.

Connecting the DVD 105 audio outputs to a hi fi unit
instead of the TV may offer improved sound quality.
Connect the left and right outputs to a suitable line
input (AUX CD or TAPE) on the amplifier or receiver.
When playing the DVD 105 remember to switch the
amplifier to this input.
The DVD 105 is capable of reproducing movies in
Stereo Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 Surround Sound
modes via the digital audio connections. To experience
the enhanced listening experience of multichannel
sound you will need a digital AV processor or other

Connect the DVD 105 via the digital optical or
coaxial outputs to your processor and refer to your
existing 5.1 equipment manual for further guidance.

INTRODUCTION
UNPACKING
Please read this manual thoroughly before connecting and using
your player.
Your DVD 105 is a versatile player capable of playing several disc
formats. It is set to play discs encoded as Region 2.
Some application files such as Windows formatted discs are not
acceptable. Additionally, some discs formatted in a PC may not be
acceptable due to formatting anomalies.
DVD discs with a region code other than Region 2 (Check the disc
code printed on the label or the packing for compatibility). Discs
coded ALL or O’ will play on this player.
PC application programmes on CD-R or CD-RW
Improperly formatted CD-Rs or CD-RWs. This may include Audio
discs recorded on a computer but not finalised.
The player has built in copyright protection technology that
prevents copying from a DVD disc to any media. If a video
recorder is connected to the player, the video output image may be
distorted during recording. Some discs feature this technology
and some do not. Modern best-selling movies nearly always
feature copyright protection.
Unpack the DVD 105 carefully. The carton should contain:
The DVD 105 Player
One remote Handset and 2 AAA batteries
If any items are missing or damaged, contact your nearest TESCO
store for a replacement. Have your receipt ready when you call.
Retain the packaging. If you dispose of it, do so having regard to
any recycling regulations in your area.
The player will accept the following formats (among others):
The following formats are not acceptable:
DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW
CD-DA, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, Picture CD,
.
‘’‘
!
!
GETTING STARTED
Site the player on a solid stable surface away from strong
magnetic fields and sources of heat and damp.
The player should be sited fairly near the TV set and your AV
processor or audio amplifier if you are using one. There should be
clear line of sight between the player and the listening seat so that
the player can be properly operated from the remote handset.
Do not site your DVD player on top of an audio power amplifier or
receiver as the heat and vibration may affect performance.
The DVD 105 features video output connections for SCART (RGB
or S-Video), S-Video and Composite Video. The best video quality
is usually obtained from SCART in RGB mode or from the S-Video
output.
Analogue and Digital audio outputs are provided. The analogue
outputs are down mixed to Stereo. For full featured 5.1 sound in
either Dolby Digital or DTS, you should use a dedicated AV
processor or receiver with a digital input connected to either the
co-axial or optical connection of the DVD 105. If you are not using
the optical connection leave the blanking plug in place.
Before connecting your player to your TV or audio equipment,
ensure that all units are switched off at the mains.

CARE AND CLEANING
Age related coding is on the disc. The DVD 104 player picks up this
coding and allows or restricts viewing dependent on the control
level set by the user. There are eight levels of control as follows:
Kid Safe G; PG; PG13 PGR R; NC17; Adult
The first level is open to all ages, progressively rising through the
age groups until level which is strictly adult viewing only.
Press
Using the keys navigate to the PARENTAL setting on the
Preference Page. (Follow the procedure on Page 7).

Select the Rating, press
Input the password
Press OK
If the password is accepted the rating will be changed. If the
password is incorrect the rating will not be changed
Refer to the procedure on Page 7.
Press twice
Press
Remove and store the disc in its packing
Set the player to via the handset.
Although the SETUP menu allows you to specify the default setup
of the SCREEN size, some DVDs are formatted only for 16:9 and
will force this format on the TV set, regardless of the Setup
parameters.
All care and cleaning operations should be carried out with the
unit unplugged from the mains power.
The surface of the unit can be cleaned with a barely damp cloth
and then dried carefully.
Do NOT clean the inside of the player tray with a cloth. Lightly blow
out any dust.
If your discs jump tracks, skip passages or don’t play properly,
this is more likely to be caused by surface damage or dirt on the
actual disc rather than any fault of the unit. In extreme cases,
however, these phenomena could be due to dirt or dust on the lens
If the CD lens gets dusty or dirty, use a proprietary lens cleaner
and follow the instructions carefully.
Do NOT leave discs in the player when not in use.
If you are not going to use the player for an extended period,
switch it off at the front panel and unplug it from the mains.
