Accessories

Please make sure that the following accessories have been included in the DVD player packaging. Check the
package contents carefully, as there may be some accessories under the styrofoam.

Introduction
Package Contents:
1 x Remote Control
2 x Batteries AAA 1.5 V
1 x User’s Manual
1 x SCART cable
1 x AV cable
1 x Nero Trial

Note: The figures and illustrations may vary from the real model.

Region Code Information

This DVD player uses region code information that has been recorded on a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD). If the
region code of the DVD disk does not match the region code of the DVD player, the DVD cannot be played.
The device’s region code is “2”.

You’ll find the region code on the back of the DVD box. In order for a DVD to be playable it must be labelled
“ALL” for “all regions” or “2” for “Region 2”.

Compatible Discs

This DVD player can play the following discs:

Compatibility of Discs Created on a PC

When creating a disc on a PC – even when using a compatible format – it may be that this disc is not playable
on this device. This can be due to the burning software settings. In this case, please contact the manufacturer of
your software and check for more detailed information.

Device and Disc Maintenance and Care

Hold the disc on the border only, or put your index finger through the hole in the centre. Avoid touching the
surface containing data. For double-sided discs, this applies to both sides.

Note: Do not attach any adhesive labels nor tape on the disc and avoid scratches or other damage.

Cleaning the Discs

• Fingerprints or stains on the disc surface deteriorate the signal processing. Depending on the amount of
dirt, the light that has been created inside the laser unit will be reflected partially (attenuated) only leading
to inaccurate reading. To clean the disc, use a soft cloth and wipe the disc from the centre to the border.

• When very dirty, wipe the disc with a damp cloth and let the disc dry.

• Do not use any anti-static products or organic solvents or thinners. These can (as is the case with all
volatile substances) damage the disc surface.

Storing the Discs

• To avoid deformation, always store the discs in their box.

• Avoid exposing them to high temperatures and humidity. Do not store the disc in a car parked in the sun.

• For more information, read the instructions included with the discs.

Disc to be Avoided
Use normal, round-shaped discs only. Do not use any deformed, scratched, or damaged discs – they can shatter
with the high rotation speed in the inside of the unit.

Cleaning the DVD Player

The front panel and housing of the DVD player only need to be cleaned with a soft cloth from time to time.
When very dirty, a neutral cleaner can be sprayed onto the cloth first. Do not use any volatile solutions.

panel of the DVD player. Do not exceed an angle
of 30 degrees for optimum results.

Note:

Introduction
Any obstacles between the remote control and the
sensor window can deteriorate the remote control
response. Also similar remote control units (using
the same signal codes) can interfere with the DVD
player functionality or execute an undesired
function.

Do not store the remote control upside down, and

do not place any objects on it to avoid accidentally
pressing a key and the consequent battery drain.

Cautions When Using the Remote

Control
Do not expose the remote control to any shock or
vibrations, and do not splash any liquids over the
remote control. Do not store it in a humid place.
Do not place the remote control under direct
sunlight as its heat may deform the remote control.

The remote control may not work properly when

the sensor window is exposed to sunlight. In such
a case, put the remote control closer to the sensor
window or change the angle of the light source or
of the unit.

Notes on Batteries

 Audio and Video
Connectors
Prior to starting to use your DVD player you must connect it to a display screen. The type of connection
depends on the capabilities of your display screen and of the available cable types.

12
Video Connections

You can choose between four different video connection types for your Silvercrest DVD player:

Composite Video

For normal quality – you will need the supplied audio/video cable with Cinch connectors.

S-Video
For a better quality requiring a special S-Video cable and a screen with S-Video input (the S-Video cable is not
included in the package contents).

RGB (via SCART)

Audio and video port offering optimum picture quality. A SCART cable is required (included in the package).

Connectors
Component Video & Progressive Scan
This video connection offers the highest quality and is supported by modern TV screens and beamers. A
special 3-wire Cinch cable is required.

Note: The audio connection suitable for each video connection will be described in the following section. And
the next chapter will explain all possible audio connections in detail.

13
 Audio/Video Connection to a Screen with Composite Video
and Stereo Audio Inputs

If your TV set features only one single video input – typically a yellow receptacle – please use the Composite

TV.

Audio Inputs

If your screen features an S-VIDEO (S-VHS) input, you can use this video connection type as an alternative. The
S-Video connector can be recognized easily by its 4 pins. When using S-Video, the luminance and chrominance
signals are split resulting in higher picture quality than for Composite video. For the audio connection, use the
red and white stereo audio inputs of your TV.

Video Connection to a TV set/Beamer with Component Video

Inputs (YCbCr/YPbPr)

When using Component Video, the video signal is split into three separate “components”, resulting in a higher
picture quality than for S-Video or Composite video. For the Component video output you need a TV screen or
beamer featuring three Component video inputs.

Furthermore, you will need a special Component video cable (not included in the package) with separate
