Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of
plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5
Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your
socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured
with the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
¶As these colours may not correspond with
the colour markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Do not expose the system, batteries
or discs to humidity, rain, sand or
excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.) Always
keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting
dust on the lens.
Avoid condensation problem
– The lens may cloud over when the
player is suddenly moved from cold to
warm surroundings, making it impossible
to play a disc. Leave the player in the
warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.
Do not block the vents
– Do not operate the DVD system in an
enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm
(4 inches) of free space all around the
player for adequate ventilation.

Care of disc
– To clean a CD, wipe it in
a straight line from the
centre towards the edge
using a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents,
as they may damage the
disc!
– Write only on the printed side of a
CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped
pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not
touch the surface.
Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the player on a flat, hard, stable
surface.

Step 6: Connecting TV
IMPORTANT!
– You only need to make one video
connection from the following
options, depending on the
capabilities of your TV system.
– Connect the DVD system directly
to the TV.
– Scart Video connection provides
higher picture quality and S-Video
connection provides better picture
quality. These options must be
available on your TV.
Using Scart jack
●Use the scart video cable (black) to
connect the DVD system’s SCART jack
to the corresponding Scart input jacks on
the TV.
OR
Using Composite Video jack
(CVBS)
●Use the composite video cable (yellow –
not supplied) to connect the DVD
system’s CVBS jack to the video input
jack (or labelled as A/V In, Video In,
Composite or Baseband) on the TV.
OR
Using S-Video jack
●Use the S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the DVD system’s S-VIDEO
OUT jack to the S-Video input jack (or
labelled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV.

Analogue: Sound that has not been turned
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while
digital sound has specific numerical values.
These jacks send audio through two channels,
the left and right.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs.
is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a
given length of music; measured in kilobits per
seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the
higher the recording speed, the better the
sound quality. However, higher bit rates use
more space on a Disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.
A title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling
you to locate the chapter you want.
Clear voice: It enables the digital sound
processor to extract the voice dynamics in
movie dialog on all 5 surround channels without
compromising on the location accuracy and the
width of the surround sound.
Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the
back of the DVD System that send high-quality
video to a TV that has Component Video In
jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for
allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles,
multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.
Digital: Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL
or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio
through multiple channels, instead of just two
channels as analogue does.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories capable of
delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio
(front left and right, surround left and right and
LFE).
DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a
surround sound system, but it is different from
Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by
different companies.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation
of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format.
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10
times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each
sound track constitute one sound field.
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound
tracks having three or more channels.
Parental level: A function of the DVD to limit
playback of the disc by the age of the users
according to the limitation level in each country.
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback will be prohibited if the
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system
for converting analogue sound signal to digital
signal for later processing, with no data
compression used in conversion.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
controlling reproduction. By using menu screens
recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type
software as well as software having a search
function.
Plug and Play: After power up, the system will
prompt the user to proceed with the automatic
installation of radio stations by simply pressing
the PLAY button on the main unit.
Region code: A system for allowing discs to
be played back only in the region designated
beforehand. This unit will only play discs that
have compatible region codes. You can find the
region code of your unit by looking on the
product label. Some discs are compatible with
more than one region (or ALL regions).
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending
separate signals for the luminance and the
colour. You can use S-Video only if your TV has
S-video In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of sampling
data when analogue data is converted to digital
data Sampling frequency numerically represents
how many time the original analogue signal is
sampled per second.
Seating control: It gives the user a perfect
sound and movie experience anywhere in the
room, providing maximum flexibility and real
total immersion because the user can choose
their preferred seat.
Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio format is
based upon the current CD standards but includes
a greater amount of information which provides
higher quality sound. There are three types of
discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs.
The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD
and Super Audio CD information.
Surround: A system for creating realistic
three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by
arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
Title: The longest section of a picture or music
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software,
or the entire album in audio software. Each title
is assigned a title number enabling you to locate
the title you want.
VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the
DVD System that sends video to a TV.
