i NOTE:

Please ensure that the correct audio/video cable is used, as the wrong cable will produce a weak signal. DVDs are copy-protected and cannot be copied. If a DVD is copied onto a video cassette, you will see a blurred picture with poor sound quality. This is NOT the fault of the device!

Use of ear/headphones

Fig. 13

1. Please use headphones with a 3.5 mm stereo jack plug; these should be inserted into the PHONES socket. The loudspeakers are then switched off.

i NOTE:

In order to set the volume on the device, keep the VOL+/VOL- buttons pressed down for approx. 3 seconds.

WARNING:

Make sure that the volume of your headphones or earphones is not too high, as otherwise this may damage your ears and you may endanger yourself or others. In order not to disturb those around you, the volume should be set to a low level. If you suffer from tinnitus, you should turn the volume down low or refrain from using this device. Ear doctors recommend that earphones should not be used continuously over a prolonged period.

About the DVD-Player

With this DVD-Player you can play a vast variety of DVD-formats → Page 40, "Technical data".

However, you must be aware that in many cases DVDs are encrypted with a so-called "Regional Code". This specifies for which region in the world the DVD is intended. As an example, the DVDs marked with regional code "1" are intended for the USA and Canada. DVDs with regional code "2" are for use in Europe.

i NOTE:

With your DVD-Player you can only play DVDs with regional code "2". There are both lots of burning and compressing methods as well as high quality differences in (burned) CDs/DVDs. Moreover, the music industry has not yet agreed on a fixed standard for copy protection. This may, in very isolated cases, result in problems when relaying CDs, DVDs and MP3 CDs. This is no malfunction of the player.

Furthermore, there may be isolated problems when playing CDs or DVDs which were created on a PC (e.g. holiday photographs). In case of problems, check the settings of the DVD writing program on your computer. You should in particular make sure that the DVD has been finalized. For further information on this matter, please refer to the operating manual of your recorder.

Playing media

Handling CD/DVD

CDs and DVDs are highly sensitive media. Please observe the following points in order to avoid damage or contamination.

• Hold CDs or DVDs only by their edges. Do not expose CDs or DVDs to heat sources (e.g. direct sunlight).
• Keep CDs or DVDs always in their jewel cases. If necessary, clean CDs or DVDs with a soft cleaning cloth. Wipe from inside to outside. Do not use any detergents or solvents. If you want to write on DVDs: use only a suitable pen. Write only on the upper side!

Terminology

Track: "Track" is the designation for sections on an Audio-CD. This may be a song, the set of a symphony, etc. Title/Chapter: Video-DVDs are divided into "Title" and "Chapters". A "Title" may be e.g. a particular film, the "Chapters" may be subsections of this film.

Working in file mode

In addition to playing back "normal" films or music from CDs/DVDs, this DVD player can also play back video or audio files from CDs or DVDs that are stored in the file system. Such media are often available if you create CDs of digital photographs or MP3 music on your computer.

Deleting a Playlist

Using CD/DVD

Using a memory card

1. Place the CD or DVD on the tray => Page 52, "Loading a CD/DVD".
2. Select the desired file(s) and start playback => Page 58, "Selecting file/directory and starting playback".

The following memory cards can be used:

SD Card, Multi Media Card

1. Press the memory card into the card reader until it locks into place with a "click" (Fig. 1/15).
2. Press the SHIFT button (Fig. 2/21) on the remote control to switch the DVD player to file mode.
3. Select the desired file(s) and start playback => Page 58, "Selecting a file/directory and starting playback".

By means of the USB connection you can connect numerous devices to the DVD Player. Examples of such devices are USB memory sticks or digital cameras.

1. Insert a USB storage medium into the corresponding connection of the DVD player (Fig. 1/16).
2. Press the SHIFT button (Fig. 2/21) on the remote control in order to switch the DVD player to the file mode.

Selecting file/directory and starting replay

In order to find out which files can be played back the DVD player now reads the contents of the storage medium. In the case of large storage media this procedure may take a long time. During this time you will see the words "READ USB" on the screen.

1. Select the desired file(s) and start playback → Page 58, "Selecting a file/directory and starting playback".

Media may contain a large number of data/files. You must therefore first determine the data to be played.

1. If this has not yet taken place: Insert the CD or DVD in the drive. The file selection dialogue appears (Fig. 20). This dialogue is structured as follows:
2. Directory overview (1)
3. File overview (2)
4. Currently selected directory and probably the selected file (3): The directory name appears in square brackets. Example: "[Directory1]Filename2.jpg".
5. Button "Selection Audio Files" (4): Music files are displayed.
6. Button "Selection Photo Files" (5): Photo files are displayed.
7. Button "Selection Video Files" (6): Film files are displayed.

i NOTE:

You can use the Cursor buttons (◀, ▶) of the remote control to navigate to the file overview and the selection buttons in this menu.

1. If the memory medium contains various file types (e.g. Audio and Video files), files of the wrong type may be displayed. Example: The file selection dialogue shows Audio files, but you would like to play Video files. In this case use one of the selection buttons (Fig. 20/4-6), e.g. "Selection of Audio Files", to select the desired file type. Use the Cursor Buttons (◀, ▶) (Fig. 2/14) on the remote control to select the selection buttons. Press the PLAY-button (Fig. 2/27) to confirm your input.

i NOTE:

Selection buttons are only available if corresponding files are present. If e.g. a medium does not contain any Video files, the button "Selection Video Files" (Fig. 20/6) cannot be activated.

1. Choose the directory you would like to play. Use the Cursor Buttons (◀, ▶) (Fig. 2/14) on the remote control to select the directory overview (Fig. 20/1). The currently selected directory is highlighted in orange. If necessary change the directory with the Cursor Buttons (▲, ▼).
2. Press the PLAY-button (Fig. 2/27) to start the replay. All files in the selected directory will now be played.

If you want to play only one file or if you want to start the replay from a certain file, please proceed as follows:

1. Select the file type and the directory which contains the desired file as described above. ⇒ Page 58, "Selecting file/directory and starting replay", item 1-3.
2. Use the Cursor Buttons (◀, ▶) (Fig. 2/14) on the remote control to change to the directory overview (Fig. 20/2).
3. Choose the desired file. The currently selected file is highlighted in orange. If necessary change the file with the Cursor Buttons (▲, ▼).

i NOTE:

If the selected file is a JPEG photo, you will now see a preview of this photo in the directory overview (Fig. 21). You can exit this preview with the Cursor button (◀).

1. Press the PLAY button (Fig. 2/27) to start the replay.

Stopping the replay

Viewing pictures

Press the STOP button (Fig. 2/24) on the remote control to stop the replay.

The DVD player is excellently suitable for viewing digital photographs. These photos may be stored on any medium (DVD, CD, etc.) supported by the DVD player.

i NOTE:

Please ensure a suitable size of the photos. Large size photos may take some time to be displayed or may not be displayed at all. It is of advantage if the size of the photo corresponds with the screen size of the replay device. For TVs this is normally 1024x576 pixels (TV aspect 16:9) or 768x576 (TV aspect 4:3).

Start the replay of photos by selecting the file from which the replay shall start → Page 58, "Selecting file/directory and starting replay".

Scrolling

■ Manual: Press the PREV (Fig. 2/9) or NEXT button (Fig. 2/23) on the remote control to scroll forward or back. Automatic: Press the PLAY button (Fig. 2/27). The screen shows the message "PLAY SEQ", the photos change automatically.

Changing the default settings

Image transition

You can select between various image transitions, i.e. methods by which one image is superimposed over the next.

You can change the type of image transition by pressing the PROGRAM-button (Fig. 2/20) on the remote control. The following options are available:

Fading in from above, below, left or right. Fading in diagonally from top left, top right, bottom left or bottom right. Fading in from the centre of the image, horizontally or vertically. Fading in from the edge of the image, horizontally or vertically. Fading in from the edge of the image, horizontally and vertically. Fading in by stripes, horizontally or vertically. Random, the image transition is chosen at random.

Changing the default settings

A large number of default settings can be comfortably changed via the screen menu.

Press the SETUP-button (Fig. 2/25) on the remote control to start the menu for changing the default settings.

i NOTE:

Many of these default settings can be changed via both the remote control and the menu. The difference is: If you change the default settings via the remote control, these changes will only be valid until the DVD-Player is switched off or the DVD is changed. However, any changes made in the menu are permanent.

Understanding the menu structure

Fig. 22

The Setup menu has two menu levels:

■ Main menu: The main level is represented by graphical symbols. Sub-menu: The corresponding sub-menu options can be found under each of the main menu options.

Using the menu

Fig. 23

Navigation and selection

Use the Cursor Buttons (Fig. 2/14) (◀, ▶) on the remote control to browse through the main menu. In contrast to this, you must use the Cursor Buttons (▲, ▼) to move in the sub-menu. Select a menu option with the SELECT-button (Fig. 2/26). Use the SELECT-button also to select an option (e.g. "PAL" in the illustration on the left). The selected option (in the example "NTSC") is now highlighted (Fig. 23).

In many menus you will find slide controls to adjust e.g. the volume or the brightness of the screen. The slide control is used as follows:

1. Select with the SELECT-button.
2. Move the control with the Cursor Buttons (▲, ▼).
3. Confirm the entry with the SELECT-button.

System settings

Fig. 23

TV-System

Match the output of the DVD-Player to the colour transfer system of your replay device. The following options are available:

NTSC: A system primarily used in North America. PAL: A system commonly used in Europe. AUTO: Select this setting if your replay device is a multi-system unit.

Fig. 26

Screen saver

The player is able to display a still image for any time on the screen. This can cause damage to the screen. It is therefore recommended to activate the screen saver. The following options are available:

ON: The screen saver is activated (default setting). OFF: The screen saver is deactivated.

Changing the default settings

Fig. 27

TV Type

Here you can adapt the output of the DVD-Player to the TV-aspect.

Concerning the background: If you do not have a wide screen TV the TV-aspect will be 4:3. However, most feature films have an aspect of 16:9, the image is therefore too wide for the TV-screen.

Here you can specify how the replay of the film is to be adapted to the replay device:

4:3 PS: You will only see the middle section of the film. The borders will be cut off ("Pan-Scan"). 4:3 LB: You will see the complete width of the film. The film is thus reduced in size, whereby black bars appear below and above the film ("Letter-Box"). 16:9: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. Please note that films, that have been recorded with TV-aspect 4:3 can still be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means, that replaying this film will not require the complete wide screen area of the television.

Fig. 28

Password

If you want to operate the DVD-Player with a child protection system, you must first enter a password. This password safeguards the settings for the child protection system, so that it can only be changed by yourself.

In order to change the password, you must first enter the current password. The master password is "0000".

i NOTE:

If you forgot your password, you can deactivate the child protection system with this password.

Fig. 29

Proceed as follows to change the password:

1. Enter the current password with the Numerical Buttons (Fig. 2/17) on the remote control. To prevent the password from being read by unauthorized persons only the characters "XXXX" will appear on the screen (Fig. 29).
2. Press the SELECT-button (Fig. 2/26) to confirm your input.
3. Now enter your new password with the Numerical Buttons (Fig. 2/17) of the remote control.
4. Press the SELECT-button (Fig. 2/26) to confirm your input.

Fig. 30

Child protection

Some DVD contain information concerning the target group. This method is comparable with the rating of cinema films ("Suitable only for persons of 12 years and over" e.g.).

If you have the child protection option activated a probably existing corresponding information is read from the DVD and compared with the value pre-set by you. If a DVD is intended for an older age group than the one pre-set by you, the DVD cannot be played.

The following child protection options are available:

KID SAF: Suitable for children. G: Suitable for all age groups. PG: The presence of parents is recommended. Some scenes may be unsuitable for children. PG 13: The presence of parents is strictly recommended. Some scenes may be unsuitable for children under the age of 13. PGR: The presence of parents is strictly necessary. R: Young persons under the age of 17 may only view this film in the presence of an adult. NC17: Children and juveniles under the age of 17 are not allowed to watch this film. ADULT: The film must only be watched by adults.

Fig. 31

Default settings

Select the command "Default/Restore" if you want to reset the player to the factory implemented default settings.

Any settings you have made will be lost.

Language setup

Fig. 32

Here you can make various language settings.

• OSD language: The language in the on-screen displays. Audio language: The language of the Audio output. Subtitle language: The language of film related subtitles. ■ Menu language: The language of the DVD-menus.

Video setup

Here you can make various settings to adapt the video signal.

All settings can be made with a slide control (Fig. 24).

Brightness Contrast Hue Saturation

Changing the default settings

Speaker setup

Fig. 33

Downmix

Change the characteristics of the speaker output:

LT/RT: Choose this setting if you want to play the DVD with the Pro Logic Dolby stereo effect. This produces an almost real 2-channel replay effect. Stereo: Choose this setting if you want to play a DVD that has been produced in the 5.1-Audio format as 2-channel stereo sound. VSS: You may probably not have a 5.1-Audio system. In this case you can use the "VSS" setting to simulate a similar sound effect.

Bass-mode

Here you can define the loudspeaker size.

LARGE SPEAKERS: frequency band 20 Hz - 20 kHz SMALL SPEAKERS: frequency band 200 Hz - 20 kHz MIXED SPEAKERS: Choose this setting if, for example, the centre has a frequency band of 20 Hz - 20 kHz and the other loudspeakers a frequency band of 200 Hz - 20 kHz.

Fig. 34

Night mode

Night mode activates a special audio characteristic with which the sound is felt less disturbing.

Digital setup

Fig. 35

Dynamic Range

The term "Dynamic Range" describes the ratio of quietest and loudest sound. If the dynamic range is very large, you will experience very quiet and very loud sounds.

Fig. 36

This may cause replay problems. Let us assume that you are watching a DVD in a relatively loud environment. You can now increase the volume to be able to hear also the very quiet passages, however with the disadvantage that loud passages will be unacceptably loud. In this case it would make sense to compress the dynamic range (i.e. reduce) and increase the output volume at the same time.

FULL -2/8: The dynamic range is compressed slightly (2/8) to full (FULL). OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed at all (default).

Dual Mono

The Audio output is normally in stereo. Here you have the possibility to choose Mono-output instead of Stereo-output.

Stereo: The Audio output is in Stereo (default). Mono L: The Audio output is in Mono. The sound from the "left-hand" stereo channel is output. Mono R: The Audio output is in Mono. The sound from the "right-hand" stereo channel is output. Mix Mono: The Audio output is in Mono. The sound of "both" stereo channels is output.
