Cleaning discs

When setting the unit

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-

ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean

ter out.

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be

distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit

away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after

removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,

near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in

contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will

Cleaning the unit

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,

use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,

benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface

of the unit.

Notes on MP3 Discs

DVD

Video Mode Setting

^ꢀWith certain discs, the playback picture may be flick-

ering or Dot Crawl is shown on straight lines. That

means Vertical interpolation or De-interlace is not

perfectly matched with the disc. In this case, the

picture quality may be improved by changing the

video mode.

About MP3

ꢀ

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1,

the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that

have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

^ꢀThe player can not read an MP3 file that has a file

extension other than “.mp3”.

^ꢀTo change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY

about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video

mode number selected is displayed on the TV screen.

Check whether the video quality has improved. If not,

repeat the above procedure until picture quality is

improved.

^ꢀThe player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a

file extension “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is

limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz

2. Bit rate/ only 128kbps

^ꢀVideo mode change sequence:

MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE4 →

MODE5 → MODE1

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which

cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-

CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We

therefore recommend that you use “Easy-CD

Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first

track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot

playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3

files, format all the data in the disc or use a new

one.

^ꢀIf you turn off the the power, the video mode will be

back to initial state (MODE1).

6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please

use finished CD-R discs only.

7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less

and must incorporate the “.mp3” extension

e.g. “********.MP3”.

8. Characters other than uppercase letters (“A” to “Z”),

numerals (“0” to “9”) and underscore (“_”) may not

be displayed, or may be displayed in different char-

acters.

9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than

255.

10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80

minute CD-R (700M) software.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet

certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal

playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically

set to these standards. There are many different types

of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing

MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required

in order to download MP3 files and music from the

Internet. Our company has no right to grant such per-

mission. Permission should always be sought from the
