See Figure A. LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges. POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines 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.

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 product. SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: • When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. • If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. • If the product has been exposed to rain or water. • If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Once set, the player will ask for a four -digit password if a restricted disc is loaded, giving you a degree of control over what your children watch. The player can be set to one of eight levels. Setting the level at 1 means that any disc that has any level of restriction will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access. DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be unsuitable for children. Since a disc’ s rating is up to the manufac- turer , it is not possible to give a definitive guide to each level—check the disc box for parental lock details. Be careful: Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children are rated. Unrated discs will always play without requiring the password first.

Cleaning the L CD Screen T o clean the LCD screen, wipe lightly using a soft dry cloth, such as a glasses lens cloth. If water droplets are allowed to remain on the display for a long period, the display may stain or discolor . If the screen becomes the very dirty , use a commercially available LCD screen cleaner . Cleaning the lens Performace will be affected if there is dirt or dust on the lens. T o clean the lens, use a commercially available camera lens blower to clean the lens. When doing so, be careful not to touch the lens. Do not use commercially available CD lens cleaning discs—they may damage the lens. Condensa tion Condensation may form inside the unit if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly . Although condensation won’t damage the unit, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Aspec t ra tio The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high). Chapt er (D VD only) Just as a book is divided up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually split into chapters. See also T itle. Digit al audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog- to-digital converter , generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio. Dolb y Digit al (D VD only) A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, center and low-frequency channels). See also DTS. D TS A surround sound system developed by Digital Theater Systems as an alternative to Dolby Digital. DTS discs contain up to eight channels of digital audio. See also Dolby Digital. Dynamic r ange The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects. MPEG video The video format used for V ideo CDs and DVDs. V ideo CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.
67 En 0 7 A dditional Informa tion English Op tical digit al output A jack that outputs digital audio in the form of light pulses. Connect components with optical digital jacks using a special optical cord, available from good audio dealers. PCM (Pulse C ode Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DA T . Excellent quality , but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DA T) and A V amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio. PBC (Pla yBack Contr ol) (V ideo CD only) A system of navigating a V ideo CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example. R egions (D VD only) These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This system will only play discs that have compatible region codes. Y ou can find the region code of your system by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions). Sampling fr equenc y The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality , but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio. T itle (D VD onl y) A collection of chapters on a DVD disc. See also Chapter .
