Cleaning a Disc Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe o any ngerprints and dusts from the play- ing surface of the disc. Wipe in a straight line radially from the center to the outside edge of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will not aect playback quality. Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-static sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean a disc. Doing so will damage the surface of the disc permanently.Page 10 Coby Electronics Corporation English DVD968 at a Glance Front Panel

Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the infrared remote sensor during opera- tion. The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly if the sensor is covered, if there is a large object between the remote control and the sensor, or if it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong articial light (e.g., uorescent or strobe lights). If possible, change the position of the light source or reposition the unit to avoid direct lighting. To use the remote, point it at the remote sensor of the player. Operate the remote within feet of the sensor and at an angle of ± degrees. Battery Installation Remove the battery compartment cover located on the rear of the 1. remote control. Insert batteries, making sure to match their polarities (+/-) to the 2. markings on the inside of the compartment. Replace the cover.3. Batteries in the remote will last for approximately 1 year. Replace the batteries if the remote control does not work. Always dispose of batteries according to your local municipal regulations. The batteries used in the remote control may present a re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, in- cinerate, or heat the battery (~212°F). Do not mix old with new batteries, or dierent types of batteries. Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be used for a long period of time. Keep batteries away from children.www.cobyusa.com Page 13 English DVD968 at a Glance Remote Key Functions

This function only applies to Dolby AC -3 and 2-channel encoded discs.www.cobyusa.com Page 43 English System Setup Dynamic When you watch lms with large dynamic audio range at low volume (at night, for example) you can increase the dynamic value to avoid losing sonic detail resulting from the low volume. Video Setup Page Video Output OFF: Set video to output via the composite output. YUV: Set video output in analog component video format if the component video outputs are used. If the video setting diers from the actual video connection, you may get no image or very poor image on the TV. In such cases, you must reset this option to an appropriate video output mode or press <V-MODE> on the remote control until the output im- age becomes normal.

HDMI SETUP About HDMI HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia Interface) is the newest interface for audiovisual equipment such as high-denition television and home theater systems. With 19 wires wrapped in a single cable that resembles a USB wire, HDMI is able to carry a bandwidth of 5 Gbps (gigabits per second). This is more than twice the bandwidth needed to transmit multi-channel audio and video, future-proong HDMI for some time to come. This and several other factors make HDMI much more desirable than its predecessors, component video, S-Video and composite video. HDMI is an uncompressed, all-digital signal, while the aforementioned interfaces are all analog. With an analog interface, a clean digital source is translated into less precise analog, sent to the television, then con- verted back to a digital signal to display on screen. At each translation, the digital signal loses integrity, resulting in some distortion of picture quality. HDMI preserves the source signal, eliminating analog conversion to deliver the sharpest, richest picture possible.www.cobyusa.com Page 45 English System Setup Though standard HDMI or “Type A” has 19 wires, “Type B” will have 29 wires. The latter is targeted for the motion picture industry and other professional applications. Both varieties are “Intelligent HDMI,” refer- ring to the built-in capability for HDMI-enabled components to talk to each other via the interface. Auxiliary information can provide allin- one remote functionality and other interoperable features not possible in previous interface technologies. HDMI supports standard video formats, enhanced video and high-de- nition. It is also backwards compatible with DVI (Digital Video Interface). High-end graphics cards featuring a DVI port can connect to a HDMI interface via a DVI/HDMI cable. This is simply a cable with a DVI con- nector on one end and a HDMI connector on the other. As a rule, HDMI cables should not run longer than 15 feet (5 meters), or degradation of the signal could occur. HDMI Set this item ON or OFF to enable/disable the HDMI connection.
