Page 1 Cleaning Use a soft, dry, clean cloth. Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products risks damaging the appliance. If an object or liquid enters inside the appliance, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorised engineer. Handling and caring for discs 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 play er is limited as follows: The maximumresolution 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 ar e 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. Windows Media and the Windows logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. 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). In accordance with the rating plate of the unit, this unit complies with current standards concerning electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility. EN CAUTION - LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN.
