Different color systems are available throughout the world.
DVD makers record DVDs in a certain color system. The
color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or its case.
The most common color systems are NTSC, PAL, and
SECAM. NTSC is used primarily in the United States and
North America.
This DVD Receiver is compatible with both NTSC and PAL.
Follow the steps on page 26 to set the DVD Receiver to
NTSC or PAL. Choose a setting that matches the color sys-
tem of your TV and your DVDs.
Maintenance and Cleaning
●
Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth, wiping from the center
to the edge in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a
circular motion.
●
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercial-
ly-available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for ana-
log discs.
●
If the DVD Receiver cannot read Discs correctly, use an
accessory cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other
cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the
tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
●
The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the DVD
Receiver from cold to warm room conditions. If lens
clouding occurs, you may not be able to play a Disc. Leave
the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit
until playback is possible.
●
Do not expose the receiver, batteries, or discs to humidi-
ty, rain, sand, or excessive heat (from devices or direct
sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid get-
ting dust on the lens.
• If you are having trouble playing
a certain Disc, remove the Disc
and try a different one.
Improperly formatted Discs will
not play on this DVD Receiver.
