Confi guring 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 confi gured 
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 movie 
playing.

To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent 
static images, a ‘screen saver’ facility moves the Arcam and 
DVD logos around the screen after a certain delay.

Using the setup menus

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to 
fi t 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 is arranged into three pages. The top line 
of each shows the current page. To make a change, use 
the 

UP/DOWN

 controls to highlight the item, then use the 

LEFT/RIGHT

 controls to change the setting. 

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 

LEFT/RIGHT/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.

(17 languages are supported)

Note that some discs may force the subtitles on regardless of 
how this is set.

The default setting for this is ‘Off’. Alternatively, choose the 
setting for the language you prefer. Note that not all discs will 
have your preferred language as a subtitle.

Audio 

This controls the default audio track, when there is more than 
one audio track present.

‘English’  English language, if available

‘Arabic’ 

Arabic language, if available, etc…

(17 languages are supported) The default setting is ‘English’. 
Choose the setting you would like as a default.

Password

The password setting works in conjunction with the rating 
setting (the next menu item), to provide a means of limiting 
content playback by children (parental control).

You will see there are four dashes and a padlock symbol. 
Normally the padlock symbol will be open and this means the 
parental control is unlocked. Under this condition the rating 
setting may be freely changed.

To lock the parental control, choose a suitable four digit number. 
Don’t forget your password as you will need to know it to unlock 
the player. Highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number 
using the numerical keys on the handset.

When all four digits have been entered, press OK on the 
handset. The player is now locked and you will not be able to 
change the rating setting.

To unlock the parental control, highlight ‘Password’ and enter 
your four digit number, followed by 

OK

.

NOTE

: You can change the password any time you lock the 

player.
