Before Use (Contd)  
Precautions  
Storing discs  
After playing, store the disc in its case.  
Handling the unit  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of  
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-  
light, as there may be a considerable temperature build-  
up inside the car.  
When shipping the unit  
The original shipping carton and packing materials  
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the  
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.  
Cleaning discs  
When setting up the unit  
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-  
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean  
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-  
ter out.  
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio  
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position  
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, and turn off  
the unit after removing the disc.  
To keep the exterior surfaces clean  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,  
near the unit. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to  
contact the unit for a long period of time. They will leave  
marks on the surface.  
To move the unit  
When you move the player, take out any discs. If you  
don’t, the discs may be damaged or drop into the inter-  
nal workings of the DVD player.  
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Digital Multi-channel sound  
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best  
sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel  
Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more of the  
audio formats supported by your DVD Player (MPEG 2,  
Dolby Digital and DTS). Check the receiver manual and  
the logos on the front of the receiver.  
Note  
This player does not perform internal (2 channel)  
decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS  
multi channel surround, you must connect this player to  
a DTS compatible receiver via one of this players  
digital audio outputs.  
Notes  
If the audio format of the digital output does not match  
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will  
produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.  
Six Channel Digital Surround Sound can only be  
obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital  
Multi-channel surround sound decoder.  
To confirm the audio format of the current DVD  
selection display, press AUDIO.  
Repeated pressing of the AUDIO button may allow  
you to select between various audio formats available

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)  
Sound  
With the DVD format, you can hear a programs sound-  
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation  
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,  
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the  
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds  
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie  
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set  
DRC to On for this effect.  
Digital Audio Output  
Each DVD disc may have a variety of audio output  
options. Set the players Digital Audio Output according  
to the type of audio system you use.  
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”  
if you connect the DVD Players DIGITAL OUT jack to a  
Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-  
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).  
Stream/PCM: Select Stream/PCMif you connect the  
DVD Players DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other  
equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder  
or MPEG decoder.  
PCM: Select when connected to a 2 channel digital  
stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the  
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc  
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1 or MPEG2  
recording system.  
Vocal  
Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD  
is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix  
into normal stereo sound.

Notes  
Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the  
quality of the disc.  
While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional  
improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it  
may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs.  
Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (nor-  
mal or off).  
Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by  
the picture enhancement.

Notes on MP3 Discs  
About MP3  
The DVD Player can play MP3 formatted recordings on  
CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.  
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the  
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call  
files that have the .mp3file extension MP3 files.  
The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file  
extension other than .mp3.  
Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3  
Recordings on right.  
Insert a disc and close the tray.

The menu appears on the TV screen.  
The player can not read a non MP3 encoded file that  
has a file extension .mp3.

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which  
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example Direct-  
CDetc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We  
recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which  
creates an ISO9660 file system.  
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first  
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot  
playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3  
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new  
one.  
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please  
use finished CD-R discs only.  
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less  
and must incorporate .mp3extension  
e.g. ********.MP3.
