Disc Care and Handling

Proper handling and storage of discs is very
important. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched
or warped, playback, sound and picture will
be adversely affected.

Handling
• To avoid damage do not touch the surface

of the disc.

• Do not apply labels or use any adhesive on

either the label side or playback side.

Storing discs
• Keep discs in their cases. If discs are piled

on top of one another without their protective
cases, they can be damaged.

• Do not put discs where they may be exposed

to direct sunlight, or high temperatures or
humidity. Avoid leaving discs in a car!

Cleaning discs
• Wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the

center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean,
wipe with a cloth moistened with water.

• Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol

or any anti-static agents.

DVD Video Disc Region Codes

All DVD players and DVD discs have a Region
Code number. This unit only can play back DVD
discs whose Region Code numbers include the
unit’s Region Code, which is indicated on the
region code symbol on the rear panel.

Examples of playable DVD discs for a unit with
Region Code “1”

NOTE: With some DVD and Video CD discs,
you may not be able to control them according
to the instructions described in this manual,
because of the contents of the disc.

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region
Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ER-
ROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback
cannot start.

About Output Signals

�����������������������������������������������������

������������������������������������������

When “AUTO” is selected the output will be
the maximum resolution the television that is
connected can reproduce.

NTSC (“NT”) is the correct choice for TVs in
North America. PAL TVs are used through most
of the rest of the world.

With either NTSC or PAL TV’s you can select
INTERLACE (“NTSC” or “PAL”) or PROGRESSIVE
(“NTSC PROG” or “PAL PROG”). Picture quality
is better with the “PROGRESSIVE” mode. But
only newer, high performance TVs can accept
progressive signals.

Not all resolutions are available from every
output.

C o m p o n e n t V i d e o : NTSC 480p,
PAL 576p

S-Video, Composite Video: NTSC 480i,
PAL 576i

HDMI Output: All resolutions available.

If you are unsure about which setting to use,
contact your authorized Rotel dealer.

Output Signal Notes
• The picture may be distorted for a period

of time after you press ENTER button. This
is not a malfunction of the system.

• Some progressive signal and high-definition

TVs are not fully compatible with this unit.
This will result in an unnatural picture when
playing a DVD VIDEO with progressive scan-
ning. In this case, change the scan mode to
INTERLACE.

• Even if the power cord of the DVD player

is disconnected from the AC outlet or the
power is interrupted, the video signal type
setting is stored.
