System Setup

NOTE: Before attempting to use the 13828 system remote to control DVD 28, you must press the DVD Button in the Input button group 5. This activates the secondary functions for double- function buttons. Refer to the function list on page 7.

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 DVD 28 takes place in an advanced user-guided On Screen Display (OSD) menu system. The OSD can be activated by pressing the SETUP button 9 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 Actual 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 explana- tion will appear in the Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen.

Next, press the OK Button A and a dropdown menu will appear that contains the available options for that setting. Press the KL

Navigation Buttons until the desired option is highlighted, then press the OK Button

Ato 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 9 or the Info Button 6, press the Stop Button

Mand then press the Setup or Info Button 69 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 DVD 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 set- tings 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 DVD 28.

System Settings

The System Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings.

Please note that when the menus prompt you to press ENTER, you must press the OK Button

Aon the 13828 system remote.

Display Language: Sets the language in which the OSD menus are shown on your screen.

Preferred Subtitle Language: Defines your preferred subtitle language. Every time a disc will be played that contains this subtitle language, it will be shown automatically. If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by highlight- ing OTHER. Press OK and use the Navigation Buttons to select your preferred language from the list shown on the screen. Note that only those languages will be available that are actual- ly on the DVD you would like to play. You can also set the preferred subtitle language to OFF. In that case no subtitles will be shown.
