System Setup

System Defaults

The final step of the installation is to establish the system’s defaults. It is helpful to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with these settings, as they may require change before the first use and later from time to time.

General Functionality of the OSD Menu The complete setup and control of the player takes place in an advanced user-guided On Screen Display (OSD) menu system. The OSD can be activated by pressing the SETUP button on the remote control. Pressing this button again deactivates the OSD.

The main menu consists of a PLAYER INFORMATION Menu and a SET-UP Menu. The PLAYER INFORMATION Menu will show all information and options available for the disc currently playing. The SET-UP Menu will help you configure all audio and video settings which are normally only made once.

Each Main Menu contains Submenus. These sub- menus are shown as icons on the left side of the menu. They can be highlighted by a white square around the icon by moving the cursor with the ARROW buttons. Icons can be activated by pressing OK as soon as an icon is highlighted. When OK has been pressed, the color of the icon will change to dark blue and you will see that the current settings of this submenu will appear on the right side of the menu.

Although each Menu has various Submenus and Settings, navigating through menus, submenus and settings goes the same way. All submenus, settings and options can be accessed with the help of the ARROW (KLN M ) and OK Buttons on the remote control.

To change a setting, simply move the cursor to the setting you wish to change. This setting will be highlighted in light blue, and a brief explanation will appear in the Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen.

Next, press the OK Button 6 and a dropdown menu will appear that contains the available options for that setting. Press the KL Navigation Buttons 9 until the desired option is highlighted, then press the OK Button

6to select that option.

Most DVDs are created to allow setup menus to be displayed while the disc is playing, super- imposed over the video playback. However, some discs are authored in a way that does not allow this. If you see the icon displayed on the screen after pressing the Setup Button 8 or the Info Button A, press the Stop Button

Iand then press the Setup or Info Button 8A again.

Set Up Menu

The first step in checking or changing the system defaults is to access the Setup Menu. First, make certain that the player is properly connected to a video display, and that power is connected. For this process, however, you do not need to load any discs into the unit.

During STOP, PAUSE or PLAY mode, if you press SETUP on the remote, the Set Up Menu appears on the screen.

This Main Menu and all menus in the following section may look different, listing the settings with different languages, depending on the settings made previously. With the factory default setting all languages are set to ”English”, that´s why with all menus the English version is shown in the manual.

In the SET-UP Menu you will find submenus for making or changing all settings and adjustments for both Audio and Video handling of your player.
