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 CS3/CS5 takes place in an advanced user-guided on-screen display (OSD) menu system. The OSD can be activated by pressing the OSD 8 button on the remote control. Pressing this button again de-activates the OSD.

The main menu consists of a Player menu, Radio menu, TV menu, AUX menu, Digital menu, USB menu and Setup menu. The Player menu will show all information and options available for the disc currently playing. The Radio menu will show radio and RDS options. The TV, AUX and Digital menus show the surround options for these specific audio inputs. The USB menu will show all information and options available when USB thumb devices or portable hard disks are connected. The Setup menu will help you configure all audio and video settings which are normally only made once.

Depending on how your CS system is connected to your TV set, two different on-screen displays are available. When the CS is connect- ed via any of the standard definition connections (SCART, S-video, composite video or standard component video), the OSD will be icon-based. When the CS is connected via any of the high-defini- tion connections (HDMI or high-definition component video), the OSD will be text-based. In the next chapters, we will show both the standard-definition version and the high-definition version, to make the initial setup as easy as possible.

Many menus contain submenus or text lines. These submenus are shown as icons on the left side of the menu, depending on whether you are watching the standard-definition OSD or high-definition OSD. They can be highlighted by a white square around the icon or text by moving the cursor with the Arrow 9 buttons. Icons or text can be activated by pressing Enter 6 when they are highlighted. When Enter 6 has been pressed, the color of the icon or the circle behind the text 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 some menus have various submenus and settings, they are all navigated in the same way. All submenus, set- tings and options can be accessed with the help of the Arrow 9 and Enter 6 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 a white square, and a brief explanation will appear in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen, together with the available options for this setting on the Lower Menu Line.

Once the setting is highlighted, pressing Enter 6 will show an M and N icon next to the current setting to indicate that the setting can be changed by pressing the left or right Arrow 9 button. Press the Arrow 9 buttons until the requested setting is shown, and confirm this setting by pressing Enter 6. Note that when you cycle though the options for this setting, the cursor cycles though the options on the Lower Menu Line, and the rest of the display fades out.

Setup Menu

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

During Stop, Pause or Play mode, if you press OSD on the remote, the Main 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 Setup menu, you will find submenus for making or changing all settings and adjustments for both audio and video handling of your CS3/CS5.

To access the Setup menu, press the OSD 8 button, and move the cursor to the right until SET-UP is highlighted. Press Enter
