SWITCHING ON
After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press
the POWER button on the front panel to turn the player on. Turn on your TV and make sure that
it is set to the correct input for the DVD 8. The video display should be ON first if you are using
the HDMI connection so that the HDCP copy protection “handshake” happens with the DVD 8.
The front panel POWER button switches the player ON and OFF. When the player is OFF, it can
be turned ON using the front panel button or the ON button on the remote control. When the
player is ON, you can put it into STANDBY using the POWER button on the remote control
handset or the front panel button.
USING THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS

To access the On-Screen Displays, press the SETUP
button on the remote control.

highlighted item and pressing ENTER to select it. The icons above are located across the top of

them when setting up the player, or when using some of the playback features and making more
advanced settings for audio and video.
