Maintaining
Your player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical
standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded
DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many
different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA files), and these require certain pre-existing conditions
(see above) to ensure compatible playback.
You should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 or
WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the
copyright owner.
Maintaining
Cleaning
• Before cleaning the screen, unplug your TV from the power
outlet.
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of your TV with a
soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water, then wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid
near your TV. Such chemicals may cause damage and
discoloration to the exposed surfaces.
Care and handling of discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so
that fingerprints do not get on the surface. Never stick paper or tape on
the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight or sources of heat and never leave it in a parked car exposed to
direct sunlight.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and
sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older
vinyl records.
Servicing
Do not try to repair your TV yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Turn off your TV, unplug the power cord, then contact an
authorized service center.
Troubleshooting
Using progressive scan
Not all high-definition televisions are fully compatible with your player
and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture.
In case of progressive scan picture problems, we recommend that you
switch the connection to the standard definition output. If there are
questions regarding your television’s compatibility with your player,
contact our customer service center.
Use the following check list for troubleshooting when you have
problems with your TV. Consult your local dealer or service outlet if
problems persist.
Make sure that all connections are correctly made.
Problem Solution
General problems
No power • Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
• Power is off, check fuse or circuit breaker.
• Unplug the TV, then plug it back in.
TV reception problems
Ghosts in the picture Ghosts are caused by the television signal
following two paths. One is the direct path
and the other is reflected by tall buildings,
hills or other large objects. Changing the
direction or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
Ignition noise Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear,
or the picture may flutter or drift. Usually
caused by interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps, or AC-powered
tools and appliances, such as drills or hair
dryers.
Snow in the picture If the TV is located far from the TV station,
such as in a fringe reception area where the
signal is weak, small dots may appear in the
picture. If the signal is extremely weak, the
installation of a larger external antenna may
be necessary.
Radio frequency
interference (RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this type of
interference produces moving ripples or
diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases
may cause a loss of contrast in the picture.
Changing the direction and position of the
antenna or installing an RFI filter may
improve the picture.
Picture size variations A slight picture size variation is normal when
you adjust the contrast or brightness
settings.
