ABOUT DISCS

The region/BD-ROM codes for this player are listed on the back of the player. See the following page for information regarding region/BD-ROM codes.

PLAYABLE DISCS

The following discs can be played back on this player:

MP3

When playing an MP3, the total number of files will appear in the display, and the TV screen will list the folders/tracks. MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG Audio is a format that compresses the audio portion only.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to many variables, including recording condition, type of disc, writing software, etc., this unit does not guarantee playback of all MP3 discs.

DISC TYPES

DVD/BD

Data on most discs is divided into sections called “titles” and then into subsections called “chapters”, each of which is given a title or chapter number. Some features of this player will not operate with some discs as they are preset. If a function you selected does not run as desired, refer to the manual accompanying the disc.

BLU-RAY NOTE: Blu-ray is a new and exciting format. Accordingly, disc compatibility issues with new and existing format discs are possible. Not all discs are compatible, le and not every disc will play back.

AUDIO CD

Data on an audio CD is divided into sections called “tracks”, each of which is given a track number.

KODAK PICTURE CD

Data on a Kodak picture CD is usually not divided into separate folders and should appear in the root directory.

DVD-R/RW

This disc can be played in this player once it has been finalized by the recording unit.

IMPORTANT:

It is important that you read the manual that accompanies the disc, as there are features that are on the player that cannot be used with certain discs. There are also extra features on the disc that are different for each disc, so they are not explained in this owner’s manual.

This player conforms to the NTSC and PAL color systems. However, if you are in the USA, leave this setting on NTSC. If incorrectly set to PAL, the TV picture will roll vertically. In this case, simply turn the Player off and then back on.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Caring for Discs

Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the outer edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperature, or dust etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing instruments or the ink may damage the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.
The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
