With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, as well as stereo or multi-channel sound (depending on the disc and your playback setup). The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of sound track, subtitle languages and different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included.

In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will be able to play all Video CDs and Audio CDs (including finalized CD Recordable and CD Rewritable).

Safety Information

¶Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, or heat sources.

¶Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

¶Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

¶In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

¶If the DVD-Video player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the DVD-Video player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

¶The lens may cloud over when the DVD-Video player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible.
