System Setup

The final step in the installation of the DVD 37 is to establish the system’s configuration. Before proceeding further to make any adjustments, make certain that the DVD 37 is properly connected to a video display and an AC power source. Turn on the DVD 37 by pressing the Power On/Off Switch 2 and the Power Indicator 1 will change from amber to blue. You do not need to play a CD or DVD in the unit to make system setup adjustments.

In many cases, you will be able to accept the default settings. Of course, these settings may be changed at any time to reflect changes to the other equipment in your home theater system or to adjust the DVD 37’s output or operation to your needs and preferences.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The DVD 37 is not capable of displaying S-video and component video simultane- ously. If you have used either of these video connec- tions and have no picture, temporarily connect the Composite Video Output 6 to your video display, and then press the Setup Button 9to access the menu system. Use the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Dto highlight the Video Setup submenu, and press the Enter Button Kto select it. The VIDEO OUTPUT line indicates whether the DVD 37 is using the S-video or component video outputs. To change the setting, press the Enter Button Kand use the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Dto highlight the desired setting on the dropdown menu. Press the Enter Button Kto select it.

Menus and Navigation

The DVD 37 uses an elegant but simple on-screen menu system for all setup and control functions. There are two main menus that are navigated in a similar fashion:

The SETUP menu is used to establish the basic configuration settings for all aspects of the DVD player’s operation, including language and display settings, audio settings, video settings and adjust- ments, speaker bass management settings, parental control and other settings that you may customize. The SETUP menu is accessed by pressing the Setup Button j.

The PLAYER INFORMATION menu displays information about the current disc, allowing you to set the playback mode and create a playlist if desired. The PLAYER INFORMATION menu will appear on screen automatically for audio- only and JPEG discs, and for VCDs without PBC. For DVDs and VCDs with PBC, it may be accessed by pressing the Info Button i.

The two main menus share a common layout, and are navigated in a similar manner. The menu screen is divided into four main areas:
