recautions

Things to consider...

Protect components from overheating

Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the
components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.

Don’t stack components.

When you place components in a stand, make sure
you allow adequate ventilation.

If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place
it on the top shelf.

Position cables properly to avoid

audio interference

Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

If you place components above the TV, route all
cables down the side of the back of the TV instead
of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do
not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables
away from audio/video cables.

Installation in a car

When installing the player in a car, make sure it is
firmly secured to stop it being flung about if the car
brakes or pulls away sharply. A badly fitted player
can endanger the life of the driver and passengers.

Types of discs you can play

This DVD Player is capable of playing the following
types of discs.

Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or
double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are
high density optical discs on which high
quality picture and audio are recorded by
means of digital signals.

Your DVD player responds to the region management
information recorded on a DVD disc. If the Region
Code on the disc and the Region Code on the player
don’t match, the disc won’t play. The region code for
your player is region 1.

So, if you are going to buy a DVD disc, pay attention
to the logo: it has to be the right one. ALL means all
regions. 

Region Codes - 1: USA, Canada - 2: Europe, the
Middle East, Rep. of South Africa, Japan - 3:
Southeast Asia, Taiwan - 4: Central America, South
America, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand - 5: Russian
federation, Africa (except Egypt and Rep. of South
