Conguring 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.
SWITCHING ON
Press in the POWER button on the front panel: the power LED 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 SETUP 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 Setup 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, when 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.
OPERATIONAL SETUP
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.

This setting controls the subtitles displayed on the TV.
Off No Subtitles
Auto Subtitles for the primary language on the disc

present) is sent to the TV

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

discs, which may impose their own default choice.
