DVD Player Setup

NOTE

: Before attempting to use the system remote 

to control the DVD player, you must press the DVD 
Button in the Input button group 

5

. This activates 

the secondary functions for double-function buttons. 
Refer to the function list on page 7.

System Defaults

The final step of the installation is to establish the 
system’s defaults. It is helpful to take a few minutes to 
familiarize yourself with these  settings, as they may 
require change before the first use and later from time 
to time. 

General Functionality of the OSD Menu

The setup of the DVD player takes place in a user-
guided On Screen Display (OSD) menu system. The 
OSD can be activated by pressing the SETUP button 

9

 on the remote control. Pressing this button again 

 deactivates the OSD. 

All menus, settings and options can be accessed with 
the ARROW (

KLN

 

M

 ) and OK buttons on the 

remote control.

To change a setting, simply move the cursor to the 
setting you wish to change. This setting will be 
highlighted and its available options will appear to 
the right.

Use the 

N

 

Navigation Button

 to move the cursor 

to the options column. Press the 

KL

 

Navigation 

Buttons

 

Z

 until the desired option is highlighted, 

then press the 

OK Button

 

A

 to select that option.

Most DVDs are created to allow setup menus to be 
displayed while the disc is playing, super imposed 
over the video playback. However, some discs are 
authored in a way that does not allow this. If you 
see 

pROHIBITED

 displayed on the screen after 

pressing the 

Setup Button

 

9

, press the 

Stop 

Button

 

M

 and then press the 

Setup

 

Button

 

9

 

again.

Set Up Menu

The first step in checking or changing the system 
defaults is to access the Setup Menu. First, make 
certain that the DVD is properly connected to a video 
display, and that power is connected. For this process, 
however, you do not need to load any discs into the 
unit.

If you press 

Setup

 

on the remote, the Set Up 

Menu appears on the screen.

This Main Menu and all menus in the following 
section may look different, listing the settings with 
different languages, depending on the settings 
made previously. With the factory default setting all 
languages are set to ”English”, that´s why with all 
menus the English version is shown in the manual.

In the SET-UP Menu you will find submenus for 
making or changing all settings and adjustments for 
both Audio and Video handling of your DVD.

The DVD player has four setup menus: 

General 

settings

language settings

audio settings

 and 

picture settings

. Each setup menu has an icon at the 

top of the menu screen.

General Settings Menu

Video Std

: This setting provides three options: 

Auto

PAL

 and 

NTSC

. Use the setting that matches your TV 

video standard. Select "Auto" if your TV supports both 
the NTSC and PAL video standards.

Screen Saver

: This setting activates and deactivates 

the player’s screen saver. To prevent image burn-in, we 
recommended setting the Screen Saver to “On” when 
using the DVD player with a CRT or plasma TV.

Resolution

: This setting lets you select the video 

output resolution of the DVD player. The “Auto” setting 
will automatically select the best resolution for your 
connected TV. See HD Mode Selector, on page 5, for 
more information.

Aspect Ratio

: This setting sets the DVD player’s 

video output to match the aspect ratio (the ratio of 
width to height) of your TV. Use the “16:9” option 
for widescreen TVs, and use the “4:3” option for 
conventional TVs. The “Pan Scan” option zooms-in on 
widescreen program material to fill a 4:3 screen when 
you play DVDs that contain a specific “flag” that tells 
the player to do so.

Password

: This setting lets you set a 4-digit parental 

control password.

NOTE

: The factory-default password is 4592.

When you enter the correct password, the lock icon 
will open and you can re-set the password and change 
the parental control level. When you are finished 
changing the settings, re-enter the password and the 
lock icon will close.

you must enter the password any time you want to 
make any changes to the parental control level or 
change the password. 

Parent Control

: This setting lets you set a parental 

control level for DVD content. Set the control to the 
highest rating level to which you wish to allow access. 
Content with a rating above that level will require that 
you enter your password number, otherwise it will be 
blocked.

NOTE

: To change this setting you must first enter your 

password in the “Password” setting (see above).

System Reset

: This setting restores the DVD player to 

its factory default setting values.

NOTE

: This will also reset the password back to the 

factory default of 4592 (See above).

Language Settings Menu

NOTE

: The factory-default setting for all languages is 

English.

Disp Language

: This setting lets you set the 

language of the DVD player’s on-screen displays. you 
can choose from 

English

French

German

Italian

 

and 

Spanish

.

Audio Lang

: This setting lets you set the audio 

language of the DVD program.

NOTE

: The options available are disc-dependent. 

Some of the language options shown may not be 
available on any particular disc.

Subtitle Lang

: This setting lets you set the subtitle 

language of the DVD program.

NOTE

: The options available are disc-dependent. 

Some of the language options shown may not be 
available on any particular disc.
