heater
Humid locations or locations with
corrosive substances present
Locations subject to static
electricity or electrical noises
On safety
Completely disconnect the power
cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet
(mains) if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.

Auto Pause
An automatic pause according to the

a VIDEO CD. If the CD/DVD player
does not resume playback for a long time,

DivX
®
Digital video technology created by
DivX, Inc. Videos encoded with DivX
technology are among the highest quality

Dolby Digital
is movie theater sound format is
more advanced than Dolby Surround
Pro Logic. In this format, the surround
speakers output stereo sound with
an expanded frequency range and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. is format is
also called “5.1” because the subwoofer
channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since
it functions only when a deep bass eect
is needed). All six channels in this format
are recorded separately for superior
channel separation. Furthermore, since
all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.
DVD VIDEO
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its diameter
is the same as an AUDIO CD. e data
capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD VIDEO, at 4.7 GB (Giga
Byte), is 7 times that of an AUDIO CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-
layer and single-sided DVD VIDEO is
8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD VIDEO 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer
and double-sided DVD VIDEO 17 GB.
e picture data uses the MPEG 2
format, one of the worldwide standards
for digital compression technology. e
picture data is compressed to about 1/40
of its original size. e DVD VIDEO
also uses variable rate coding technology
that changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
e audio data is recorded in Dolby
Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to
enjoy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided
with the DVD VIDEO.
