Precautions
Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker
located at the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with
enough space around it for ventilation (7-10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do
not stack other, or heavy devices on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other
equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty.
This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does
not disconnect the electricity supply. In order to separate the player completely from the mains, it has
to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Condensation
If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation
in the winter, wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.
Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic
or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Disconnect the power cable from the mains electricity supply if the
player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only.
Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sale or other
business purposes is or may be a violation of copyright law.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT UNDER
CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE SPECIFIED ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.
2 - Caution
1 - Setting up
Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile
components. You could receive an electric shock or touch the laser beam.
Do not place your eyes close to the opening of the disc tray or any other opening to look inside the
player.
3 - For your safety
Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole.
Always place disc with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc).
Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper guide area.
Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border.
Always put discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position.
Never try to play a Photo CD.
Never use record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc
surface is dirty. Wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular
motion, since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

5 - Batteries
Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations. Before you dispose of batteries or
accumulators, ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he accepts to take
them back.
THOMSON multimedia shall not be responsible if the player is not used according to this manual.

Audio connections
Caution for the optical / coaxial digital audio output connector:
• When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/coaxial digital input connector) which does not
contain the Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, be sure to select:
- “Dolby Digital” = PCM
- “DTS” = Off
of the initial setting “Digital Audio Out”. (See above).
Do not use ...
the “Digital Audio Out” jacks to connect to an equipment other than a Dolby Digital, DTS,
or MPEG 2 receiver or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that
may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. Older digital
equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with IEC 958, are likely to cause this problem.
If you encounter this problem, use the “digital audio out” menu (see above) to convert the Dolby
Digital digital audio bitstream output to linear PCM. The same should be applied with the so-called
“optical or coaxial REC.OUT jack” of Dolby Digital decoders, when they are connected to this DVD
player. Since REC.OUT is a 1: 1 copy of the decoder's input, no other equipment should be connected
there.
According to the audio devices connected to the digital output of this player (coaxial or optical),
select one of these options.
• See also the Audio connection pages 12-14.

* If the DVD disc contains an audio

Your preferred languages on discs
Your preferred languages for dialogues, subtitles and menus are those that the player selects for you
automatically for all discs (if available). Of course you can change them for each disc (page 24-25).
There is no need to make the following settings, as language
selection during basic set-up (page 5) has automatically
performed these settings:
If you selected “English” you now have
• the main menu, in English,
• the menus of the disc, in English (if available),
• the language of the dialogues, in English (if available),
• subtitles in English automatically (if available), if there are no
dialogues in English.
If there is no English on the disc for menus, dialogues, and / or
subtitles, the player selects the default language of the disc.

language defined as prioritary on the disc.
bFor the Subtitle language press key number 2 (24).

same language as under “Audio Preference” for
subtitles.

dialogue language is not available on the disc, subtitles are
shown (if available).
