Switching on

Player Settings using the On Screen Menus

When you switch on the player for the first time, you may either use the Setup Navigator to make more settings, or jump right in and start playing some discs. Before continuing, make sure that you’ve loaded the batteries in the remote control.

After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press STANDBY/ON on the remote control to switch the player on. The pass-thorough features and volume control work all the time even when the player is off. When the player is turned on, the front display lights up and discs can be played.

·When the player is in standby, you can use the OPEN/CLOSE and PLAY buttons to switch the player on and open the disc tray/ start playing a loaded disc.

·My DVD player switches on but there is nothing displayed on my TV. Make sure that the TV is set to the correct video input (not a TV channel). For example, if you connected the player to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV, switch your TV to VIDEO 1.

·If you connected this player to an AV receiver, make sure that the receiver is switched on and set to the correct input.

·This player features a screen saver. When on, if the player is stopped or paused and no button is pressed for five minutes, the screen saver starts. See Screen saver on page # 32 for how to switch it on.

Using the on-screen displays

For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs). You should get used to the way these work as you’ll need to use them when setting up the player, using some of the playback features, such as program play, and when making more advanced settings for audio and video.

All the screens are navigated in basically the same way, using the cursor buttons to change the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to select it.

·Throughout this manual, ‘Select’ means use the Joystick to highlight an item on-screen, then press ENTER.

·Information at the bottom of every OSD screen explains the currently selected menu item and shows which buttons can be used for that screen.

Here are what each navigation button does:

SETUP	Display/exit the on/screen display
(Joystick)	Changes the highlighted menu item
ENTER	Selects the highlighted menu item (both ENTER buttons work in exactly the same way)
(RETURN)	Returns to the previous menu without saving changes

Setting up with the Setup Navigator

Using the Setup Navigator you can make a number of other initial settings for this player. We recommend using the Setup Navigator, especially if you connected this player to an AV receiver for playing surround sound. To answer some of the questions about digital audio formats you may need to look at the instructions that came with your AV receiver.

See Selecting languages using the language code list on page # 37 for detailed information.
