OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. Standby
When the MXV4000 is plugged into a live wall socket
and the POWER switch is turned ON, it will power up in
"standby" mode and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in
the display will glow red. In this mode most of the
internal circuitry of the MXV4000 is switched off so that it
consumes very little power. Only the IR receiver, My-
Link and RS232 interface function in standby.
Touch the STANDBY ellipse to turn on the MXV4000
and, after a few seconds delay, the audio and video
outputs will be enabled. During this delay period the LED
in the display will flash blue. When the outputs are un-
muted it will glow blue continuously. The blue-coloured
display will illuminate, briefly showing “MXV4000”
followed by “READ”, and then “NO DISC“.
Touch the STANDBY ellipse again -
for longer than 2
seconds
- to return to standby mode. The drawer, if
open, will close, the LED in the display will glow red
again and the VF display will be
extinguished.
CAUTION: WHEN IN STANDBY MODE SOME
INTERNAL CIRCUITRY OF THE MXV4000 IS STILL
LIVE, SO ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED.
2. Infra-red receiver
The infra-red (IR) remote control receiver is mounted
behind the window, just above the left hand end of the
VF display. It must not be obscured when the DVD
player is to be operated using the remote control
handset. The IR receiver should be in "line-of-sight" of
the remote handset.
3. Display
The operation of the player is indicated on a high quality
blue Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) - see below
.
4. Disc drawer
The OPEN/CLOSE button controls the drawer. The
drawer will close automatically if left open for two
minutes or more. It will accept either normal 120mm
discs, or small 80mm discs.
5. OPEN/CLOSE
Press this button to open or close the disc drawer. When
the drawer is open the display will read “OPEN”. When
the drawer is closed the display will indicate “CLOSE”
followed by “READ” and then “NO DISC“. The tray will
close automatically if left open for two minutes.
When a disc is inserted and the drawer closed the
display will indicate “READ” briefly and then the disc will
play automatically. The display will briefly indicate the
disc type and default “Sound Mode” (see page 13)
before showing the disc play status. The read process
takes a few seconds while the player assesses what
type of disc has been inserted.
Pressing OPEN/CLOSE cancels SHUFFLE and
REPEAT modes.
6. PLAY/PAUSE
When a disc is present and the player is in STOP mode,
a single press of the PLAY/PAUSE key will start the disc
playing from the first track, and illuminate the
symbol
in the VF display. When the disc is playing, pressing
PLAY/PAUSE will put the player in PAUSE mode and
illuminate “
” symbol and the VF display will read
“PAUSE”. When playing a DVD the TV will show a still
frame. In PAUSE mode the disc is still spinning and the
laser head is kept at the same location, so that if
PLAY/PAUSE is pressed yet again the disc will re-start
from exactly the same point in the movie/music at which
it was originally paused.
