DVD30 UNIVERSAL DISC PLAYER
HOW TO GET STARTED
Playing discs
The basic playback controls for playing discs are covered
here. Further functions are detailed in the remotecontrol
chapter.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means
DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and DVD-R/RW. If a function
is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.
• Switch the player on.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn on
your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct
video input.
• Press to open the disc tray.
• Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc
tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a double-
sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play
face down).
• Press to start playback.
TV System
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you
notice that the picture is distorted when playing some
discs,you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience
picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to
match your country or region ’s system.
• Switch the player into standby.
• Hold down then press to switch the TV system.
– You have to switch the player into standby before
each change.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO -> NTSC -> PAL -> AUTO -> NTSC -> PAL etc.
The display indicates the new setting.
– This function is not available in region three players.
About MOD.(Modulation)PAL
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV
system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automati-
cally switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display
without vertical shrinkage.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may
not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may
roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the
picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may
shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen.This is not a malfunction; it is
caused by the NTSC -> PAL conversion.
Infra-red remote control
The DVD30 is controlled by an infra-red remote control
pointed at the front panel.
The DVD30 can also be controlled by using the IR-input
at the backpanel.
• Switch off the DVD30 using the main switch at the
backpanel.
• Hold down the button at the front and then switch
on again by using the main switch.
The display shows ’Remote back input’.
For security reasons this setting disappears every time the
DVD30 player is switched off by using the main switch.
To reactivate the IR-input at the backpanel the above
described procedure has to be repeated.
Resetting the disc player
• Switch the player into standby.
• Hold down then press to reset the player.
