Movie compression formats
The use of the DivX encoder is recommended in order to compress movies and then play upon this player. Whilst there are many movie formats and compression software available, most use MPEG4 algorithms at their heart.
DivX is just one such MPEG4 compressor, but it is the most widely used and recognised by Sony, Panasonic and other manufacturers.
This device is capable of DivX playback in order to provide a reliable and consistent playback performance.
When using the official DivX encoder (download from www.DivX.com at a small charge) and always use the “Home Theatre” option for optimum compression and suitable playback quality upon the player. Maintain the 16:9 ratio for full screen viewing.
Use of other compression software, or the playback of other format files (such as Quick Time) may have unreliable or unpredictable results and is not recommended.

In accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament of the Council of September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators:

Disposal of waste batteries (applicable in the European Union and other countries with separate collection systems).
This symbol on the battery or on the packaging indicates that the battery provided with this product shall not be treated as household waste.
On certain batteries this symbol might be used in combination with a chemical symbol. The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead.
By ensuring these batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and human health which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of the battery. The recycling of these materials will help converse natural resources.
In case of products that for safety, performance or data integrity reasons require a permanent connection with an incorporated battery, this battery should be replaced by qualified service staff only.
To ensure that the battery will be treated properly, hand over the product at end-of-life to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
For all other batteries, please view the section on how to remove the battery from the product safely. Hand the battery over to the applicable collection point for recycling of waste batteries.
For more detailed information about recycling of this product or batteries, please contact your local Civic Office, your household waste disposal service, place of purchase or an Authorized Nextbase Service Centre.
Smashed Screen Identification
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Screen is a multilayer component.
Under the tougher outer plastic layer, the glass sandwich beneath holds the LCD crystals in place, which are themselves suspended in fluid. In the unfortunate event of an accident, particularly a sharp localized impact, the glass will break. the tough plastic outer sheet on the surface of the glass keeps all the glass intact underneath preventing the shards from falling out. This is a specific safety feature particularly implemented for the younger users and also in-car use.
The broken glass normally shows signs of the impact mark and also cracks radiating away. The resultant fluid leakage renders the panel inoperable.
Symptoms are often a dark round mark, a white screen without picture and maybe some multi-coloured lines. Depending on the individual break, an element of the TV picture may remain for a while but not for long, as the fluid leaks away. Some inky black staining may appear beneath the plastic layer upon the crack lines, as the fluid escapes.
Unfortunately a break of this nature is not covered under the manufacturers warranty as it is accidental damage to the product. Rather than an original defect from manufacture.
Please see below for some sample images of broken LCD panels for reference. Replacement panels can however be installed by a qualified NEXTBASE Approved engineer.
Pixel Failure Statement
This product incorporates an LCD screen of 480 x 3 x 234 pixels or 640 x 3 x 234 pixels, totaling 336,960 pixels or 449,280 pixels in total.
Pixels can fail during normal product life, one pixel equates to a 0.0003% / 0.0002% failure rate. One pixel failure per year of operation is considered normal and not a cause for concern or warrantable.
Troubleshooting
