Setting Up the Player

Using the Setup Navigator

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.

The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

When setting up for the first time

Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding.
