GB 3
 Player Zones
For the purpose of distribution of DVD Discs, the world has been separated into 6
zones. The zone your unit is intended for is indicated on the Zone Label. This should
be the same as the label on discs available in your region. If you have any difficulties in
playing a disc, make sure that the disc is for the same zone as your player.

Region 1
Anti-copy Disc Protection
Some DVD discs have anti-copying devices.
With these discs the playback on a Television will give the highest quality picture, however you will not be able to
record this signal on a VCR.

Installation
Install your unit on a stable flat surface. There must be sufficient room in front of the unit for the drawer to be
opened and the unit should be positioned so that it can see the remote control.
Do not expose your unit to extremes of temperature or humidity. Avoid standing it on a hot surface such as on
top of other hot running equipment and ensure that there is adequate ventilation to the unit.
* Caution : Do not install this equipment in confined space such as a book case or similar unit!

DVD Discs
There are several types of DVD Disc.
Single sided discs. They play for approximately 2 HOURS
Single sided two layer discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS
Double sided discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS
Double sided with 2 layers on both sides. They play for approximately 8 HOURS
DVD discs have Titles and Chapters. There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain several
Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered, e.g. Title 1, Title 2 etc. & Chapter 1,2,3 etc.
Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio
logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles
contain trailers for other films, production notes, or
alternative endings for the film. There are many
possibilities with Digital Versatile Disc. Chapters within
the main Title allow you to search quickly for a specific
point on the disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu
sometimes called Scene Index or Scene Menu that
displays the first shot from each Chapter, which allows
you to select a shot and play the disc from that point
onwards. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player
can play both types (if the player zone is correct).
DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a single disc. You can select and change the language
and subtitle to suit yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different angles.

Cleaning DVD Discs

Picture freezing & sound skipping or repeating can occur if the disc inside the player is dirty.
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can cause picture distortion or render the disc
unplayable.

CAUTION - Do not use solvents, commercially viable cleaners, or

antistatic spray intended for analog discs.

Rated Titles
DVD discs have parental levels assigned to them. The range of parental
controls are from 1 to 8.

The player can be set in a similar way by pressing . If the

unit’s rating limit is set to 8, it will play all discs. If the player’s rating limit is
set below 8, only discs with a lower or equal parental level will play.

For example if the player is set to 5, only discs with parental control ratings
of 5,4,3,2, & 1 will play. To play a higher rated disc you must change the
unit’s rating to a higher number.
When alternative scenes with lower rating are included, the player will play the highest rated scene that the
parental setting allows. For example, consider a disc which is generally suitable for most audiences, and is
rated as level 2 for most part. However, in the middle there are also scenes rated at 5 & 7 (not suitable for
children).

A section of the disc can have several different sequences which vary in parental control level. In the above
example of a disc with parental control, the player will show a different section depending on the parental
control level set in the player menu.

In this way, parents can control the content of films and there is no indication that any censorship has occured.

The meaning of the levels 1 to 8 varies depending upon the country and the type of content of the disc.

Some films do not have parental control assigned and will play irrespective of the player setting.

Pro Logic Mode

Pro Logic The additional flexibility of Pro Logic II allows it to be tailored for specific
applications. Five standard modes are available:
Virtual
Pro Logic - it offers users the robust surround processing of the original
Music
Pro Logic.
Movie Virtual - it’s usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual
process for speaker use.
Matrix Music - it’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound music
systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems.
Movie - It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround
channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a
mono surround channels and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie
mode is the standard required for all A/V systems.
Matrix - It the same as the Music mode except that the directional
enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance GB
mono signals by making them seem “larger”.

Dimension
A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two- -1
channel input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the Dimension
soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a OFF
recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be 1
adjusted “forward” to get a better balance. Likewise, if a stereo
recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding, it can be 2
adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing

result.

GB 17
 Panorama OFF
Extends the front stereo image to include the surround
speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall Panorama ON
imaging.

Center Width Control

OFF
With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come
only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present, 1
the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and
right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The 2
Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the
3
center image so it may be heard only from the center
speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom Center Width Soft
image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
It’s recommended to set the control to use the position 3 5
values for the Music mode. This will also help distinguish the 6
Music mode from the Movie mode, which automatically
presets teh Center-width control to position 0. 7

Dolby Digital Surround
The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connections of all 5 speakers (front left, center, front right,
surround right, surround left) for the correct surround sound reproduction. This 5.1 channel digital surround
format enables five individual full-range (20Hz-20KHz) channels plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel
for the low-range (20Hz-120Hz) effects. It creates a realistic sound similar to the theaters and cinemas. A
large proportion of DVD discs use this system for sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby Surround decoding. It creates five full-
bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix
surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds
or tonal colorations.

3 Stereo
3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound from a two channels analog signal. It
is not a surround format so it does not require surround speakers.

Soundfield Effects
The digital Soundfield Effects recreates the effects of sounds reflected from walls or ceilings to obtain the
sound presence of real environments.
- Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.
- Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front speakers.
- Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music such as classical and opera.
- Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of music that are played in disco.
- Live: suitable for all types of music.
