System Setup
The final step in the installation of the DVD 37 is to
establish the system’s configuration. Before proceeding
further to make any adjustments, make certain that
the DVD 37 is properly connected to a video display
and an AC power source. Turn on the DVD 37 by
pressing the
Power On/Off Switch
2
and the
Power Indicator
1
will change from amber to blue.
You do not need to play a CD or DVD in the unit to
make system setup adjustments.
In many cases, you will be able to accept the default
settings. Of course, these settings may be changed at
any time to reflect changes to the other equipment in
your home theater system or to adjust the DVD 37’s
output or operation to your needs and preferences.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The DVD 37 is not capable of
displaying S-video and component video simultane-
ously. If you have used either of these video connec-
tions and have no picture, temporarily connect the

and then press the Setup Button

menu system. Use the

Navigation Buttons

using the S-video or component video outputs. To

⁄¤
