Regarding DVD-Audio
Some 5.1 channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (➜ page 38, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention.
When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio
will not be output properly (e.g., part of the audio is missing, 5.1 channel sound cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the
disc’s jacket for more information.

Maintenance
∫ To clean discs ∫ Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry. ≥ Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥ Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that
DO DO NOT came with the cloth.

Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause

malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although
this depends on the operating environment.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. Failure to
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
Glossary

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall
quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still
so picture quality is lower.
