Configuring 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 THE POWER ON

Press in the 

POWER

 button on the front panel. The power LED above 

the switch 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.

USING THE SET-UP 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  Set-up  menu  comprises  four  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, then 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.
