Lenoxx Electronics HT600 Introduction, Features & Benefits of DVD movies and players

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchaseing this DVD Home Theatre System. This deluxe theatre system includes everything you need to experience movie theatre quality digital video and audio plus AM/FM radio reception in the comfort of your own home. The only thing you need to add is your own TV. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, but please, review this manual before you operate your system. Please have it handy while you are setting the system up; and keep it available for future reference, or in the unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected questions or problems. We have tried to keep this manual as simple as possible. It begins with how to connect the speakers, your TV, and other optional devices. It also includes instructions on how to position the speakers for the most natural surround sound, and finally how to operate the DVD/CD player. If you follow the instructions carefully you can have the system set up and start playing in less than an hour.

DVD players (and discs) have many features which are not available on any other movie playback medium (such as VHS or even original films themselves).

In addition to the software on a disc being physically much smaller and easier to store than the older VHS format, the life span of a DVD disc is much longer than a VHS tape and able to retain the movie for many more years. Additionally, the main point of DVD’s is to allow you to view the movies in your own customised way. The options are almost limitless for customised viewing from languages to angles to scenes to speeds to sounds and track mixes, etc.

This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every component in your system was perfect when it left our factory. If you experience any problem with the set up or operation of this system, please review the Trouble Shooting Guide at the end of this manual.

All of the optional adjustable system settings have been pre-set at our factory for correct operation of the system. All you have to do is to insert a disc, sit back, and enjoy a great home theatre experience.

Eventually you may want to change some of the optional settings like speaker balance or equaliser settings. A description of all the optional settings, and instructions for changeing them, are found later in this manual.

Features & Benefits of DVD movies and players:

1.Sharper, clearer pictures with greatly enhanced digital sound. You will immediately notice the improvement over the older VHS movie format.

2.Dolby Digital

Setup and subtitles can be displayed in many different languages.

5.Parental Controls

6.Freeze Frame and frame by frame play

This is very useful for sporting events. Also slow motion play is possible with this set.

7.Zoom feature allows you to zoom into a scene and still maintain reasonable picture clarity (depending on the disc).

8.Time Search

This DVD player can locate an exact scene with a time search, for example, you can go to a scene which is 15 minutes and 12 seconds into the movie directly.

9.SCART Connector

This set has a SCART output connector which provides the clearest, sharpest pictures, even sharper than S-Video.

10.Director’s Cuts

View special director’s cuts and comments on some discs. Many of these discs give a narration of what the director was thinking about when he was filming a scene, as well as the scene itself.

11.Scene Repeat

You can easily program your player to see a scene over and over again without damageing the movie media.

12.Fast Play

This DVD Player can play at very high speeds (backwards or forwards). This is very useful for quickly locateing your favourite scenes.

13.MP-3 compatibility

This DVD Player can also play MP-3 encoded discs (most formats are supported).

14.Audio CD compatibility

This DVD Player can also play audio (music) CDs thereby saveing the expense of buying a separate CD player.

15.VCD format

Some small local stores may carry a VCD format of foreign produced videos (this VCD format is not as sharp or versatile as DVD disc movies). This set can play many of these foreign VCD disc movies.

16.Regional Codes

This prevents discs designed for use only in some countries from being played in other countries. The DVD Forum assigned region numbers for different countries. Europe is Region 2 (this set can only play Region 2 DVD movies).

17.JPEG Compatibility

This DVD HOME THEATRE system also allows you to view JPEG files or picture CDs.
