OPERATION
USING THE HS 300 DISC PLAYER
Thanks to advanced digital technology, the HS 300 features an internal
DVD-Audio/Video disc player within its low-profile chassis. Although
you may previously have owned a CD or DVD player, we recommend
you take a few minutes to learn the specifics of operating the HS 300
disc player. You also may want to take a moment now to review the
glossary terms in the back of the manual to familiarize yourself with
the terminology used to describe DVD players.
Playback Basics
In some respects disc playback is the same for all types of discs.
We suggest you read through the basic instructions, and then read
the sections pertaining to the various disc types.
Disc Handling Precautions
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch
the surface. See Figure 56.
Figure 56 – How to Handle a Disc
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar
substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using
the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot air
ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be
a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other sharp
writing utensil.
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
Disc Cleaning Precautions
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc
from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Disc Loading Precautions
• Do not load more than one disc on disc tray.
• Do not place a disc on the tray upside down.
• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not positioned or
centered properly.
Loading Discs
To load discs in the HS 300, first turn it on by pressing in the
Standby/On Switch or the Open/Close button on the top panel or the
DISC button on the remote. The Power Indicator is amber when the
unit is connected to an AC power source, and it turns blue when the
HS 300 is turned on.
Next, if you have not already done so, press the Open/Close Button so
that the disc tray opens.
Hold the disc by the edge, and gently place it into the disc drawer, making
certain that the disc is properly seated in the tray’s insert. If the disc is
not correctly centered, you may damage both the disc and the player
when the drawer closes. When loading discs, please note the following:
• The HS 300 will play discs with the following logos as well as
most DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs and most WMA and JPEG discs,
including Kodak Picture CDs, but not Kodak Photo CDs. DO NOT
attempt to play another type of disc.
• The HS 300 will only display video in the NTSC format. Although the
PAL format is generally used in Europe and other regions of the world
outside North America, some music or other DVDs are available in
PAL with a Region Code of “0,” which means they may be played
on any DVD player around the world. The HS 300 will automatically
detect the PAL format, and make the necessary conversions so that
the video may be displayed on an NTSC TV. PAL discs bearing a
Region Code other than “0” or “1” may not be played on the
HS 300.
• Playback capability for CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW or
DVD+R discs will vary according to the quality of the disc. On some
occasions it is possible that these discs may not play on the HS 300.
This does not indicate any problem with the HS 300.
• The HS 300 will only play discs that are coded for Region 1 or discs
that are open to being played in all regions (Region Code “0”). Discs
that contain a Region Code of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (as noted by a number
inside a world map logo on the disc’s jacket) will not play.
• Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs may be used.
