Configuring your DVD player

Introduction

This section of the document describes the use of the ‘Set-up’ menu, which is used to configure your player for your system and your personal preferences.

Obtaining a picture

To view the Set-up menu for the initial configuration, we recommend the use of the composite video output to connect to your display device. This is because the high quality video output has several display modes and may be incompatible with your display device in its default configuration.

Ensure that your display device is switched on and that you have selected the correct video input. You should see the image shown on the right. This is the image that the DVD player gives whenever there is no disc playing.

NOTE: To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent static images, a ‘screen saver’ facility activates after a few minutes of inactivity. When this occurs, the image shown on the right will be ‘bounced’ around the screen. To reset the image to the central position, press the STOP button on the player or on the remote control.

Using the Set-up menus

To enter the Set-up menu, ensure that no disc is playing. Press SETUP on the remote control: a menu will appear on the screen.

The Set-up menu comprises seven 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.

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

n 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.

n Items that are not applicable currently (for example, the Pro Logic II settings, when Pro Logic II processing is switched off) are shown in dark blue, and cannot be highlighted or changed.
