Product service/Maintenance/Glossary
Product service
1. Damage requiring service— The unit should be serviced by 
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

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 DVDs 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.

							User memo:
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just 
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s 
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement 
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic 
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you 
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe 
level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear 
without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, 
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive 
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” 
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” 
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level 
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably 
and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing 
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for 
a lifetime.
