After Video and Audio Cables are Connected and Power is Applied
Once the DVD Player is properly connected to your TV and possibly your receiver also, turn on your TV and make
sure it’s set to the correct input channel. The video input is usually configured as channel 0 or 1 on most TVs, but
may be referred to as “Input 1” or “Aux In” or similar names. These procedures assume you are using a NTSC-
compatible TV - standard for North and South America. If you are using a PAL-type, you will need to change the TV
Type first. In this case, see
Adjusting Audio and Video Settings
.
Power on the DVD Player
Push the Power button firmly to turn on the player. You
should see the message “ON” in the DVD Display. Then, the
player will attempt to read a disc. With no disc in the unit, the
message INSERT DISC will be displayed.

Quick Tips
About Standby Mode
Your DVD Player is
equipped with a power-
saving feature called
STANDBY MODE. When
you press POWER on the
Remote to turn off the
unit, it will enter standby
mode, indicated by a
glowing LED to the left of
the disc try, where it can
be quickly awakened by
pressing POWER again.
When the unit has not
been used for a length of
time - about 25 minutes -
the unit will automatically
enter standby mode to
save power.

Powering on from the Remote
Once the power button is pushed in, the unit can be turned
off and on by the remote. When the unit is turned off by the
remote, it will go into STANDBY MODE. This allows the unit
to be quickly “awakened” by pressing the POWER key on
the remote again. When the unit is in standby mode, the
standby LED, located to the left of the disc tray, will glow.
Opening the Disc Tray
Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the remote or on the
player (to the right of the disc tray) to insert a disc. There are
two grooves in the disc tray - 12cm and 8cm. Make sure the
disc is properly set into the tray. Small 8cm discs must be
positioned exactly in the middle groove. Press the
OPEN/CLOSE button again to close the disc tray. You will
see the message READ on the display. Once the disc is
read, you should see the menu screen for DVD discs, or
hear sound for an Audio CD. If a menu is present on the
disc, you will see the word ROOT displayed. This lets you
know you are at the beginning menu of the disc.

The Play Button
Most DVDs will automatically display a “root” (first layer)
menu when inserted. However, some discs will require you
to press the PLAY button. Also, the PLAY button can usually
be used to quickly start a DVD movie when pressed with the
root menu displayed. This function varies with discs.
