The Settings menus allow you to configure all aspects of your BDP300. The next few pages will go through the menu items and explain their function. The Settings menus may look daunting if you are new to setting up home cinema, but the majority of them need only be configured once when you first install the system.

The only way to view the Settings menus is on your display device (TV or projector) using the on-screen display (OSD) capability of the BDP300. To view the OSD for the initial setting up, connect any of the video outputs to your display device (or AV receiver connected to your display).

Entering the settings menu

The SETTINGS icon is shown on screen when the BDP300 is first switched on.

If the main menu is not currently displayed, press U on the remote control to display it. Note that during the playback of music, video or JPEG files, further button presses may be required to exit the folder structure.

With the SETTINGS icon highlighted, press Oto enter the Settings menu.

Unstable OSD menu or picture display?

The default BDP300 output video resolution when first powered up out of the box has been chosen according to the national standard in the country of purchase.

If the output resolution and frame rate is at a setting your display device does not support, the picture

may become unstable or may not display at all. If this happens, connect the BDP300 directly to your display using the composite video connection in order to see the menus. Once the correct video settings have been entered, a higher-quality connection can be used.

Navigating the menus

The BDP300 menus can be navigated by using the cursor (up, down, left, right) keys on the remote control.

1.To display the main menu, press U.

2.Use the B and C keys to navigate up and down the main headings in the left-hand panel.

3.With the main section you require highlighted, use the E key to enter the middle column.

4.Use the B and C keys to navigate up and down the options in the middle column. Some options may be greyed out because they are not currently selectable (e.g. network IP address when DHCP is used).

5.Pressing E selects a setting: use the B and C keys to change the setting.

6.Press Oto confirm the setting. Go back to step 4 to adjust any other settings in the current section.

7.Press <to return to the previous screen if you want to select another section.
