RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. 
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE REAR COVER.
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED 
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION
Note to CATV system installer :
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Section 820~40 of the NEC
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical
Precautions
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your
player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots
are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become
hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to
the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply,
remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess
heat(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric
fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if
the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold
temperatures.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours
until the unit has reached room temperature before using.
Phones
During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the
wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
The battery used with this product contain chemicals that
are harmful to the environment. 
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household trash.

by items placed upon or against them paying
particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.CLEANING
Unplug this video product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners 
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
LIGHTNING
For added protection of this video product
receiver during a lightning storm, or when 
it is left unattended and unused for long 
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. 
This will prevent damage to the video product 
due to lightning and power-line surges.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Never push objects of any kind into this 
product through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the video
product.
ACCESSORIES
Do not place this video product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. 
The video product may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage 
to the appliance.

or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
POLARIZATION
This video product is equipped with a polarized 
alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other.) This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. 
This is a safety feature. If you are unable 
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversingthe
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
•If an outside antenna is connected to the 
antenna terminal, be sure the antenna system 
is grounded so as to provide some protection   
against voltage surges and built-up static 
charges.
•In the U.S.A section 810 of the National   
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 
provides information with respect to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting 
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire 
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 
conductors location of antenna discharge unit, 
connection to grounding electrodes, and 
requirements for the grounding electrode. 
See the figure below.

Back of the SpeakersBack of the Main Unit
Rear Speakers
•Place these speakers behind your listening position.
•If there isnt enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.
•Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly
downward.
*Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to
mainly handle sound effects and sound will not come from them all
the time.
Subwoofer
•The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. 
Place it anywhere you like.
•Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers.
Front Speakers 
•Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
•Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at
the same height as your ear.
•Align the front face of the front speakers with the
front face of the center speaker or place them
slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker
•It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers.
•You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Position of the DVD Player
•Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under
the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times
the distance of the TVs screen size away from the TV.
Example: For 32 TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)
For 55 TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)

If you television is equipped with an S-Video input, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied)
from the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the S-VIDEO IN jack on
your television.
Component Video (Best Quality)
If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video
cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the
corresponding jacks on your television.

•When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed

Note
P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function
Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one
field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture
without visible scan lines. 
While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer
than 1 second.
•The selection switches back and forth between P.SCAN and I.SCAN each time the button is held
down for a minimum of 1 second. 
•The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the selected mode in about a second. 
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame. 
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. 
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object. 
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a full frame shutter
camera.
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
•This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Pr, Pb, Y,) that support Progressive
Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
•Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
