Digital video

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

Your portable DVD player

Your portable DVD player plays digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo or multichannel sound (depending on the disc and on your playback set-up).

The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of soundtrack and subtitle languages, and of different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included. What’s more, parental lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see.

You will find your player remarkably easy to use with the On-Screen Display and player display in combination with the remote control.

Unpacking

First check and identify the contents of your package, as listed below:

- Portable DVD player	- Remote Control
- Car adaptor	- AC power adaptor
- Rechargeable battery pack	- User Manual
- Warranty	- Audio / Video cable
- Travel bag (subject to region)

Placement

-Place the player on a firm, flat surface.

-Keep away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight.

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

-The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is then not possible to play a CD/DVD. Leave the player in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
