temperature range of 20 C
0
to 45 C.
00
In a location where humidity is extremely high or with temperature C, the
below 20 C or above 45
metallic parts of battery will rust and result in electrolyte leakage due to expansion or contraction
in parts composed of organic materials.
00
2. Longterm Storage (2 years, 20 C to 35 C)
As longterm storage can accelerate battery selfdischarge and lead to the deactivation of
00
reactants, locations where the temperature ranges
between 10 C and 30 C are suitable for long
term storage.
When charge for the first time after longterm storage, deactivation of reactants
may have led to increased battery voltage and decreased battery capacity. Restore such
batteries to original performance through repeating several cycles of charge and discharge.
When storing battery for more than 1 year, charge at least once a year to prevent leakage and
deterioration in performance due to selfdischarge. When using a rapid charger of voltage
detection type, carry out charge and discharge at least once every 6 months.
Note:
To get the best performance, charge your battery for more than 12 hours at the first time after
unpacking, and carry out 3 cycles of charge and discharge under proper conditions.

GLOSSARY

CD
A CD (Compact Disc) is a metalcoated plastic disc. It has a diameter of 12 cm and a thickness of
about 1,2 mm. It was developed by Sony and Philips in 1985. The advantages are digital storage of
music enabling very natural sound reproduction. Beyond this, the data is stored more compact,
the handling is easy. The long lifetime of the media and the fact that usage does not decrease
quality made the CD the ideal storage media.
In the meantime, 12 different storage media have been developed from the first CD. The mostly
used are CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) , CDROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory),
and the DVD (Digital Versatile Disc).
One can store about 74 to 80 minutes of music on a CD (DA). This is equal to 650 to 700 MB
Signal transmission is performed touchless with a laser beam. The CD is being read from the
middle to the outer side. The data or music is recorded in a spiral from the middle to the outer side.
A CD has pits and lands, the distance is about 1,6 mm. The laser light created by a laser diode
passes different mirrors and prisms and then is focused by a lens to a laser beam. This laser beam
scans the data spiral of the CD. On the pits, the laser beam is reflected in another direction and is
detected by a photocell. The photocell transmits the signal to a microprocessor, which converts
the digital data to an audio signal. The rest is done by the sound system.
CVBS
Composite Video Interface. The video signal is transmitted via a single signal line. CVBS should
only be used, if your playback device does not offer other interfaces for connection with you Xoro
TV set, as CVBS due to technical reasons delivers worst quality of all available interfaces (please
also refer to YUV, SVideo, SCART and RGB). The CVBS interface can easily be identified from the
yellow colour of the RCA jack.
TM
DivX
TM
DivX is a new high quality video codec, which is based on MPEG4 standard and combined with
TM
MP3 audio. Originally, the DivX Codec was a Microsoft codec (MPEG4 v3). The official codec
only used ASF format (no AVI) or WMV format with Windows Media Encoder 7. The official codec
TM
had a bitrate limit, which was removedon DivX .
On the next stage of development, the codec was developed completely new and is now 100%
TM
MPEG4 compliant. The new codec was called DivX 4/5 and can be obtained for free at
TM TM
www.divx.com. This codec is also compatible to videos encoded with the old DivX codec (DivX
TM
3.11). Today, DivX is just a brand name for the MPEG4 encoder/player from DivX Networks that
TM
lives from the fame of early DivX days.
TM
Videos encoded with DivX 4/5 are fully MPEG4 compliant and theoretically can be played on
any MPEG4 enabled DVD player.

DTS
® ®®
DTS is a coding standard similar to Dolby Digital . DTS Digital Surround is a multichannel
®
surround system from Digital Theatre Systems. Similar to Dolby Digital it uses up to 5.1 channels.
Different from Dolby, the data rate can be far above 1 Mbit/sec so the sound is not compresses as
strong as in Dolby Digital® resulting in a higher sound quality.
The frequency range is from 20Hz to 20kHz at 20Bit, but the subwoofer channel only transmits
frequencies below 80Hz. The coding system also is called CAC.

DVD
The DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) was introduced in 1995 and is a storage media with a large
capacity.
While a standard CD can store 650 MB of data, the DVD can store up to 9 GB. Especially when it
comes to video playback, a large storage capacity is important. Beyond its high capacity, the
consumer enjoys high quality video and audio. A DVD can store up to 8 different audio streams, so
in best case, the movie can be watched in 8 different languages.
PhotoCD (JPEG CD)
A PhotoCD is a storage system for image storage on a CDROM in a platform independent multi
resolution structure (support of different resolutions and file formats, e.g. JPEG, BMP, etc). As a
single camera film dies not fill a complete CD, more films can be added to the CD at a later time. A
CDROM drive must be multisession enabled to load images from a PhotoCD.
GUI

HDCD
Pacific Microsonics has developed a digital audio technology using the full potential of a CD. The
HDCD process (High Definition Compatible Digital) is a patented coding and decoding process
transporting the complete details of a high resolution master recording to a CD. There were
several attempts to improve the sound quality of CD's, but none, which could be compared to
HDCD process.

MP3
MPEG 1 Layer 3 Codec, or short MP3,
was developed in 1987 by Fraunhofer Institut fьr Integrierte
Schaltungen and was e revolution in
audio compression. In 1992 it became part of MPEG1 video
format. As MP3 offered high quality audio at incredible small filesize, it became a standard. With
this codec one can compress audiofiles to about 1 MB / minute.
NTSC
Widespread TV standard, especially in US and Asia. 525 (480 viewable) Lines and 60 Hz refresh
rate. Describes the way the video information (brightness, colour, refresh rate etc.) is transmitted.
Within Europe, this video standard only appears on imported media (like US DVDs).

SVideo
Describes the way video signals are transmitted. With SVideo, luminance and colour information
are transmitted separately. SVideo interface can easily be identified by its 4ports in a round
connector.
Aspect ratio: 4:3 and 16:9
Full Frame refers to programs developed for TV display with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Widescreen
refers to programs developed for screens with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
If a widescreen program is displayed on a 4:3 screen, the picture will have black borders on top
