Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Installing

  • Do not install the unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
  • Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
  • Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
  • Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD karaoke is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3

  • An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files".
  • The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3".
  • The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension ".mp3".

MP3 disc compatible with this player is limited as follows:

  1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz
  2. Bit rate / within 96 - 192kbps
  3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
  4. If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use "Easy-CD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.
  5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.
  6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please use finished CD-R discs only.
  7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate ".mp3" extension e.g. "*******.MP3".
  8. Do not use special letters such as “_?!><+*}{[@]::V.,” etc.
  9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 200.
  10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), Do not use 80 minute CD-R (700M) software

This DVD Karaoke requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
