pines.

is used in many parts of Europe, Asia and South 

America. 
Check your video device to see which standard it is 

compatible with.

Audio Signal Formats

The KOD-1000 features RCA stereo outputs, as well 

as coaxial and optical digital audio outputs.

Handling & Cleaning of CD and DVD Discs

• Always hold discs from the edges and the hole in 

the center.
• Store discs in a clean, dry environment. Storing 

discs vertically will also help prevent warping.
• Use sleeves and jackets to prevent wear and tear. 
• NEVER write on both sides of the disc. It may 

make the disc unreadable.
• DO NOT stack the discs on top of each other. 

This may lead to warping.
• DO NOT bend or apply pressure to the disc.
• DO NOT expose the disc to direct sunlight or 

heat.

• Use a soft cloth to clean the disc.
• Always wipe from the center to the edges.
• DO NOT use circular motions.
• DO NOT use household cleaning products on 

the disc, unless they are specifically formulated for 

cleaning DVDs or CDs.

Reminder: Never attempt to play cracked or warped 

discs in your player. The high rotational speeds that 

the discs reach may cause flawed CDs or DVDs to 

shatter in the player, causing it to malfunction.
