Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances generating strong magnetic or electric fields. The components of this appliance are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either side and above it, as well as 5 cm at the back are ideal. [. . . ] Formats such as AAC and Ogg Vorbis are not supported by this player. Renting (purchasing) DivX®VOD files DivX VOD files are similar to DVD video rental discs. The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial websites. Prior to downloading a VOD you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase form on the site. Follow the instructions below to find the registration number of your player: Play Play Mode Parental Control Display Sound Languages Standard Random Program DivX 1. Insert a disc and select the Play Mode option from the player menu. 2. In the Play Mode menu, select DivX. The registration number is displayed on the TV set's screen. 3. Write down this VOD 8-character registration number so that you can fill in the form on the website you purchase your DivX VOD files from. Note: If you cannot play a DivX VOD file recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading it, the rental period allocated during purchasing from the website may have expired. It is also possible that the recorded file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The parameters used when copying to CD-R may be another reason for this. Since it is not possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX VOD files, we recommend that you visit specialist websites such as www. divx. com/vod. 18 Radio The player has a built-in tuner that allows for FM radio function.
