Setting Up the Player - Initial Setup

Use the Setup Menu System

In many places of this guide, the DVD player’s Setup Menu needs to be adjusted to match your specific
audio/video configuration. When asking you to make menu adjustments, we will use the following terminology
to indicate the location of the desired function:
Setup Menu Name > Menu Item > Submenu Item (or Selection)
Setup Menu Name is the actual name of the uppermost setup menu level. With the OPPO DV-980H there
are exactly five (5) Setup Menu pages or sections, each represented by an icon on the top of the Setup Menu
screen. They are: General Setup Page, Speaker Setup Page, Audio Setup Page, Video Setup Page, and
Preference Page.
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears below the Setup Menu Name. It is the list of items
on the left of the current Setup screen.
Submenu Item (or the selection) is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change
being made to the selected parameter. It is the item located to the immediate right of its corresponding Menu
Item.
A Scroll Icon appears on the right side of the setup menu when there are more Menu Items than what can fit
in a screen. You may use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll the display in order to access additional
Menu Items.
This diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen we
could, for example, instruct you to set the Subwoofer parameter to Off in the Speaker Setup Page. To
indicate where we were, you would see the following: Speaker Setup Page > Subwoofer > Off.

NOTE
It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused by
disc still being played back or interlocking with mutually exclusive setup items. Please stop
playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot
access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For
example, if the audio “Down-mix” mode is set to “Stereo”, the center and rear speaker size
settings will be grayed-out. Setting the “Down-mix” mode to “5.1CH” will enable the center
and rear speaker size settings.
