Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the DVD Player

•Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the Player with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

•Never use a solvent, thinner, benzene, or alcohol to clean the Player. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the Player. Such chemicals may discolor the surface or damage the Player.

Cleaning a Disc

•Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the Disc.

•Wipe the Disc in a straight line from the center to the edge. Never wipe the Disc in a circular motion.

•Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.

•Always store the Disc in its protective case when it is not in use.

Checking the Laser

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Red and white jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send audio to another system (TV or stereo).

COAXIAL jack: Sends digital audio to a stereo, allowing you to adjust the volume at the stereo. The stereo must have a Coaxial In jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters. The Player’s Coaxial jack is black.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y Pr/Cr Pb/Cb) Jacks: Green, red, and blue jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.

Letterbox: A TV Aspect setting (4:3). Displays the DVD picture in full- width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is used often when you see a movie in a theater. If the DVD is not recorded in letterbox format, selecting Letterbox will have no effect. (For example, some DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the other side playing in a normal format.)

Pan & Scan: A TV Aspect setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed to fit your TV screen. Remote Control: The small electronic unit that came with your DVD Player; allows you to operate your DVD Player from a distance.

S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the lumi- nance and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-Video In jack.

VIDEO OUT Jack: Yellow jack on the rear of the DVD Player that sends video to a TV. Use the supplied yellow video cable to make this connection. Wide: A TV Aspect setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately when you connect the DVD Player to a widescreen TV.
