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.
