Configuring your DVD player

Introduction

Congratulations – if you have followed the installation instructions then the required connections to other equipment will have been made. It is now essential to go through an initial set up procedure to ensure the DVD player is configured correctly for use.

Press in the POWER button on the front panel. The power LED above the switch lights green.

Obtaining a TV picture

Ensure the TV is switched on and that you have selected the correct TV input. You should see the following image. This is the image that the DVD player gives whenever there is no disc playing.

To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent static images, a ‘screen saver’ facility activates after a few minutes of inactivity. (To stop the screen saver, press STOP on the front panel or remote control.)

Using the Set-up menus

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to fit the two AAA batteries in the remote handset, taking care to get them the correct way round. Select ‘DVD’ using the CD/DVD button on the remote control.

Ensure that no disc is playing and press SETUP on the remote control: a menu appears on the TV 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.

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

In the ‘Setup’ menu, 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.

OSD Language

This setting controls the language of the messages displayed on the On-Screen Display (OSD). The default language is English, with three other languages supported.

Note that this setting does not change the language of any information displayed on the front panel, which is always in English.

DVD menu

Some DVD discs support a number of different languages for the DVD disc menu (the menu present on the DVD itself). This setting allows the preferred language to be specified. For example, if this item is set to ‘French’ then disc menus will be displayed in French, where supported by the disc.

Note that not all discs will have your preferred language available.

Subtitle

This setting controls the subtitles displayed on the TV.

Off	No Subtitles
Auto	Subtitles for the primary language on the
	disc
Closed Caption	‘Closed Caption’ information from the disc (if
	present) is sent to the TV
English	English subtitles
French	French subtitles, etc. (six languages are
	supported)

Note that some discs may force the subtitles to be displayed regardless of how the Subtitle item is set.

Closed Caption information is displayed only if the ‘Closed Caption’ option is selected, closed caption information is present on the disc, and your TV supports closed caption decoding.

The default setting for Subtitle is ‘Off’. Alternatively, choose the setting for the language you prefer. Note that not all discs will have your preferred language available as a subtitle.

This controls the default audio track, when there is more than one audio track present.

English English language, if available

French French language, if available, etc. (six languages are supported)

The default setting is ‘English’. Choose the setting you would like as default. Note that the Audio preference setting is not respected by all discs, which may impose their own default choice.
