of electrocution.
• Do not attempt to look inside the appliance through the disk tray opening or any other
opening.You may be electrocuted or exposed to laser radiation.
• This appliance is for domestic use only and must not be used for industrial purposes.
• Total or partial copying of recordings protected by copyright legislation, without the
explicit permission of the holder of the rights, contravenes current legislation. Copying or
downloading music files for sale or any other business purpose constitutes or could
constitute a violation of copyright law.

Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc with your fingers at the edges or through the hole.
Insert the disc with the label facing up (for a single-sided disc).
Place the disc properly into the tray in the allotted holder.
Use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, always wiping from the centre to the edge.
Always put discs back in their cases after use and store in a vertical position.
Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with a disc not sitting correctly in the holder.
Do not play cracked, chipped or warped discs nor try to repair them with adhesive tape
or glue.
Do not write on a disc.
Do not move the player when a disc is being played.
Do not scratch discs or store them in places exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity or
high temperatures.
Do not use aerosol cleaners, benzene, anti-static liquids or any other solvent for cleaning
discs.When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth from the centre to the
edge, avoiding circular motions, which could cause scratches and interference during playback.

Discs you can play
In spite of progress made to ensure playability of all discs types, it is not possible to guarantee playback of discs which
are not in conformity with DVD, CD,VCD or SVCD standards.This unit may not play some recordings or files on CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW due to differences in recording formats, software used and disc types.

CD-R, CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable).
This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also
be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the
write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD-writer, computer and the disc
used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully.When playing a CD-R disc, it is
completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognise the disc before starting
to play. If the disc is not recognised after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then
insert it again.
• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity. • CD-Rs
should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW
playback may be faulty. • Use reliable, good-quality CD write software. • Close all other
applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

In accordance with the rating
plate of the unit, this unit
complies with current standards
concerning electrical safety and
electromagnetic compatibility.

DivX files
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new MPEG-4
compression standard for video. Whether DivX files play correctly on your player or not
depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the codecs and the
type of recording equipment used, as well as on your computer’s parameters. It is therefore
possible that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all of it is defective. It also sometimes
happens that you can play the images (video) but not the sound (audio).
DivX disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows: • The maximum resolution of the
DivX file is below 720x576 (W x H) pixels. • DivX filenames should not exceed 56 characters.
• If the video and audio structure of the recorded file is not interleaved, either video or audio is
outputted. • If the file is recorded with GMC, the unit supports only 1-point GMC. GMC is the
acronym for Global Motion Compensation. It is an encoding tool specified in the MPEG4
standard. Some MPEG4 encoders, like DivX or XviD, have this option.There are different levels
of GMC encoding, usually called 1-point, 2-point, or 3-point GMC.
• DivX files with subtitles in .SRT, .SUB and .SMI formats can be played. Correct playback of all
languages may not be possible as some characters may be missing.
mp3 files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in mp3 format.With regard to CD-R mp3 discs,
please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:
• Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files
are compatible with Microsoft DOS and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac.These two
formats are the most widely used. • mp3 filenames should not exceed 8 characters and should
end with the “.mp3” extension. General name format:Title.mp3.When composing your title
ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of
special characters including (. , / , \ , = ,+). • The total number of files on a disc should be less
than 999.The total number of folders should be less than 499. • Use a decompression transfer
rate of at least 128 kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files. Sound quality with mp3
files basically depends on the rate of compression/ decompression you choose. Obtaining audio
CD quality sound requires an analogue/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format,
of at least 128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec. Choosing higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more,
only rarely produces even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128
kB/sec will not play properly. • Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3 files.“Securized”
files are encrypted and code-protected to prevent illegal copying.You must not copy such files.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) files
CD-R with WMA files.
• WMA filenames should not exceed 8 characters, and should end with the “.wma” extension.
General name format:Title.wma.When composing your title ensure that you use 8 characters
or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including (., /, \, =,
+).• The total number of files on a disc should be less than 999.
Important:The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play
mp3 or WMA recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.You should note that certain technologies
and methods for mp3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player
(i.e. degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).

DVD+Rewritable

VCD - Video Compact Disc
CD on which you can record up to 74 min. of VHS-quality video associated with still images,
audio tracks and interactive menus.
SVCD - Super Video Compact Disc
Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107 standard. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 minutes of
digital sound and images in accordance with MPEG-2 standards for video and MPEG-1 standards for audio.

Connections and Setup
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the
identification sticker located on the back of your appliance.
• Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances
generating strong magnetic or electric fields.The components of this appliance are
sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
• Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either
side and at the back, as well as 7 cm above it are ideal.
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the appliance
outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.The appliance should not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should
be placed on top of it.
• Moving it from a cold environment to a warm one is likely to cause condensation on
some components inside the appliance. Let the condensation disappear of its own accord
before turning the appliance on again.
• Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.
