Getting started

Switching on

After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press STANDBY/ON on the front panel or remote control to switch the player on.

Also, switch on your TV and make sure that it is set to the input you connected the DVD player to.

Using the on-screen displays

For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).

All the screens are navigated in basically the same way, using the cursor buttons (

) to change the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to select it.

STANDBY/ON

FAQ

•My DVD player switches on but there is nothing displayed on my TV.

Make sure that the TV is set to the correct video input (not a TV channel). For example, if you connected this player to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV, switch your TV to VIDEO 1.

Note

•This player features a screen saver and an auto power off function. If the player is stopped and no button is pressed for around five minutes, the screen saver starts. If the disc tray is closed but no disc is playing and no control is pressed for about 30 minutes, the player automatically goes into standby.
