Obtaining a TV picture

Ensure the TV is switched on and that you have selected the correct TV input. You should see the following image. This is the image that the DVD player gives whenever there is no disc playing.

To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent static images, a ‘screen saver’ facility activates after a few minutes of inactivity.

Using the Set-up menus

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to fit the two AAA batteries in the remote handset, taking care to get them the correct way round. Select ‘DVD’ using the CD/DVD button on the remote control.

Ensure that no disc is playing and press SETUP on the remote control: a menu appears on the TV screen.

The Set-up menu comprises four pages of options. The top line of each page shows the page title, indicating the nature of the settings controlled by the page. To make a change, first use the UP/DOWN controls to highlight the item. Once the item to be changed has been highlighted, press RIGHT to open the list of options for the menu item. The current option for the menu item is shown highlighted; the UP/DOWN controls can be used to select the new option, then pressing LEFT confirms the selection and closes the option list.

To change page, highlight the page bar at the top of the screen and use the LEFT/RIGHT controls to move through the pages.

In the ‘Setup’ menu, the UP/DOWN controls ‘wrap around’, so that with the highlight bar at the bottom of the screen, pressing DOWN takes the bar to the top of the screen.
