Although you can watch a movie immediately, to get the best result from
your Home Theater, you should now press ‘STOP’ and proceed to do the
system setup options on the next page. This will set up all the functions
on your theater. You only need to do this when you first install your Home
Theater.
•
If you choose to watch the movie you can find out about DVD options and
navigation of the DVD disc in the section “Playing a DVD disc” and onward.
DISC
YOU CAN PLAY
While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible
with the largest number of discs possible, however it cannot be guaranteed
that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio
CD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility
with this player depends on the CD/DVD writer, the right software and the
disc used.
DVD-Video
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.
DVD-R, DVD-RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs
(rewritable). Depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings
using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications
for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
Video CD(VCD)
VCD stands for Video Compact Disc which contains video footage, still images,
audio tracks and interactive menus.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).
CD+G
CD+G is a Karaoke music format. The song words will be displayed on the TV
screen and change color when it is time to sing the lyrics. There are no
video scenes (movies) in the background.
CD-R & CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable). This player
can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multi-session recording
can also be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is
played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition
of the CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs
will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for
the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If
the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and
then insert it again.
•
Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full
capacity.
•
CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in
certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
•
Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
•
Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc
recording.
MP3 Files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3 format. As for CD-R
MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with
the comments below:
•
Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and
Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows,
as well as with Apple Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
•
MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters, and should end with the
“.MP3” extension. General name format: “Title.MP3”. When composing your
title ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name,
and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).
•
Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128kB/sec (kilobytes/second)
when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on
the rate of compression / decompression you choose. Obtaining
audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is converted
to MP3 format, of at least 128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher rates,
such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely produce better sound quality. Conversely,
files with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play properly.
•
Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3 files. “Secured” files are encrypted
and code-protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not copy such files.
Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD
player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You
should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording
on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e.
degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to
read the file).
WMA Files
CD-R with WMA files. Usable format similar to MP3 files; also see “MP3
Files” for reference.
JPEG Files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. JPEG is compressed image file format. Your
player can play JPEG files with a resolution of up to five million (5 mega) pixels.
However, there is no perceptible improvement in the quality of pictures displayed on
your TV screen beyond 400,000 pixels.
Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.
Note: Display time will vary according to the file size and number of pixels of JPEG
files. The limitation of JPEG files size is 2M bytes.
DivX Files
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new
MPEG-4 compression standard for video. The correct playback of DivX files on this
player depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the
codec used, the type of recording equipment used and the parameters of your
computer. It may therefore happen that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all
of it is defective.
DivX disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:
•
The maximum resolution of the DivX file is below 720x576 (WxH) pixel.
•
DivX filename should not exceed 56 characters.
•
If the video and audio structure of recorded file is not interleaved, either video or
audio is outputted.
•
If the file is recorded with GMC, the unit supports only 1-point GMC. GMC is the
acronym for Global Motion Compensation .It is an encoding tool specified in
MPEG4 standard. Some MPEG4 encoders, like DivX or XviD, have this option.
There are different levels of GMC encoding, usually called 1-point, 2-point, or 3-
point GMC.

Placement of speakers play an important role in the reproduction of surround
sound.
Particular attention should be taken when designing the speaker layout. For
the best surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
A typical room layout will have the left, center, and right speakers placed
across the front and the left surround and right surround speakers placed
along the sides towards the rear as shown in the above left picture. The
center speaker can be positioned above or below the video screen or TV. A
subwoofer can be installed for powerful bass sounds and can be positioned
anywhere in the room.
The ‘speaker to listener dimensions’ shown in the above right picture is
used for proper setup of the surround system
Notes:
•
Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker
terminals.
•
Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers
supplied.
