qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged; 

or

(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

2. Servicing—

Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that 

described in these operating instructions. Refer all other

3. Replacement parts

—When parts need replacing ensure the 

servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that 
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized 
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

4. Safety check

—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to 

perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working 
condition.

The servicer will require all components to service your system.
Therefore, should service ever be necessary, be sure to bring the 
entire system.

Product information

Maintenance

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc trays are empty. 

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the discs and the 
unit.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVD’s to normal. 
This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can 
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can 
be recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the 
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic 
sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound 
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest 
level of sound before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving 
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these 
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is 
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, 
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a 
frame still so picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with 
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I:

Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when 
adjusting the picture.

P:

Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B:

Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and 
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. 

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and 
information with menus.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave 
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital 
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per 
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the 
original sound.
