DVD PLAYER GDP 5240

Special features of your DVD player

Your DVD player provides you with perfect digital video playback of studio quality.

It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of DVD and the audio system or stereo television.

Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording angles. Your DVD player is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.

In addition to DVDs, MP3 CDs, JPEG-coded (photo) CDs, WMA (Windows Media Audio)-, video-, S video- and audio CDs can also be played back.

Disc formats

Your DVD player can play back DVD Rs, DVD +RWs, DVD RWs in DVD video format as well as CD Rs/CD RWs in CDDA format, JPEG format, WMA format and MP3 format.

Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction of the DVD player.

You have to finalise your own CD R/RW recordings.

Make sure the settings of your CD burning program correspond to the ISO 9660 standard to create a CD R or CD RW.

When MP3, WMA or JPEG CDs are played back, individual tracks/pictures may be skipped or incorrectly played back/displayed. This can be due to the disc configuration, the encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.

Audio CDs (CDDA) correspond to the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not correspond to this specification and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY

Please note the following information when setting up your DVD player:

This DVD player set is designed to play video and audio signals from compact discs (DVD and CD).

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a DVD.

The DVD player is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.

Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the DVD player or a cloth or similar articles underneath it.

Do not place the DVD player directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.

Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD player.

Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player, as they may tip over and damage the DVD player.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.

If the DVD player cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a commercially available cleaning-CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser optics.

Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.

This DVD player is designed to the highest technological and environmental standards. Only environmentally-friendly, high-quality materials have been used. The batteries included contain no mercury or cadmium.

The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. This DVD player is designed so that it can be easily disassembled to aid servicing and recycling.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

Connecting the television/projector

You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on your television or projector:

• You get the best picture quality by making the connection at the EURO-AV socket using a fully assigned EURO-AV cable.
• The standard connection for many devices, and one which provides good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets.
• The simplest option which stills offers sufficient quality is connecting to the video socket with a cinch cable.

Necessary adjustments to the television

After you have made the connections at the selected output sockets, you must activate them. The setting procedure is described in the section "Selecting the video output socket (RGB or S-Video)" on page 17.

If the DVD player is connected to a television set with a 16:9 format, observe the settings described in the "Selecting the picture format of your television set" section on page 17.

The colour standard of the DVD player must be matched to the colour standard of your television. The setting procedure is described in the section "Setting the TV system" on Page 45.

Connect the EURO-AV socket directly to the television and not indirectly via a video recorder. This can cause difficulties when playing back copy-protected CDs.

Connection using a EURO-AV cable

1 Plug the EURO-AV cable supplied into the »EURO AV → TV« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket of the television, projector or AV receiver.

Note:

In order to attain a higher sound quality, connect the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket of the DVD player to an audio system using a cinch cable.

Connecting with a cinch cable

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »VIDEO OUT« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (VIDEO IN) of the television or projector.
2 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (AUDIO IN) of the television or projector.

Connection using a Y/C (S VHS) cable and a cinch cable (audio)

1 Plug a standard Y/C cable into the »S VIDEO OUT« socket of the DVD player and the corresponding socket (S VIDEO IN) of the television or projector.
2 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (AUDIO IN) of the television or projector.

Connecting an AV receiver (for example, the GRUNDIG AVR 5200)

Video signal

1 Plug a standard Y/C cable into the »S VIDEO OUT« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (S VIDEO IN) of the AV receiver

or

Plug a standard cinch cable into the »VIDEO OUT« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (VIDEO IN) of the television, projector or AV receiver.

Analogue sound signal

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket (AUDIO IN) of the AV receiver.

Notes:

Please observe the required settings and information in the AV receiver's instruction manual.

Connecting an audio system with analogue two-channel stereo sound

As an alternative to using the television's speakers, the sound can also be played back through an audio system. This can improve audio playback.

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket on the audio system.

Caution:

Do not connect the »AUDIO OUT L R« socket on the DVD player to the PHONO (record player) input socket on the audio system. Please observe the information on downmix on page 53, "Selecting sound mode type" section.

Connecting the power cord

S-VCD/VCD features

You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the label.

Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD (films, music videos etc.), the discs may carry one or more titles.

Like audio CDs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track structure.

S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control) system for track navigation. This depends on the processing and burning software used.

You can control and direct playback of the S-VCD/VCD using the menu of the DVD player on the television screen.

You cannot select some of the functions on the DVD player (video strobe, slow motion, A-B repeat, camera angle, scene selection) when you are playing an S-VCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.

A search at 20 times normal speed is possible, but repeat functions are only possible track by track.

Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs can have various subtitles and dubbed languages.

PBC (PLAYBACK CONTROL)

PBC is a navigation option for S-VCD/VCDs. PBC information is burned onto the disc when it is made. PBC switches between the playlist structure (the menu on the S-VCD/VCD) and manual selection by the user.

The default setting upon delivery is PBC activated. PBC and the program info on the S-VCD/VCD predetermine the navigation options. If the disc has PBC, »PBC« appears in the display.

If PBC is deactivated, the S-VCD/VCD behaves like a normal CD as regards navigation (with a track structure). The user can select the track or title with »1 ... 0«, »|« or »►|« or » ◀◀« or » ►► « start playback with »►« or end playback with »■«.

Organisation of the file browser

MP3 files, JPEG files and WMA files are treated as files. The following pages will give you a general description of the differences in playing back CDs with different file types.

The files on the CD can be structured in folders in a similar manner to file organisation on a PC. These folders may contain any number of sub-folders.

Playing back individual files

1 Close the disc compartment with »▲«.

- The table of contents of the CD is scanned and the file browser appears.

- DVD player display: »TOP« = top directory level of the CD, »00/025« = 25 folders present.

2 Open the folder with »OK«.

– A list of sub-folders appears.

- DVD player display: »DIR« = sub-folders, »21/025« = the 21st of 25 available sub-folders is selected.

- If the CD has no folders, the first file is displayed, in this example »01/125« »MP3«.

3 Open the sub-folder or call up the first file with »OK«.

- DVD player display: »SUB« = content of the sub-folder, »00/064« = 64 files present.

4 Call up the first sub-folder of the next hierarchical level (display »DIR«) with »OK«.

- Folders can have several hierarchical levels with sub-folders. The total number of all entries in the file browser is limited to 999.

– In the example, this level contains 2 folders.

5 Open the folder with »OK«.

- This folder can also contain files or folders.

- In the example, this folder contains 5 sub-folders.

6 Select the first file of the folder with »OK«.

- The cursor is positioned on the first file of the folder.

7 Call up the first file with »OK«.

- In the example, this is the first of 9 files, an MP3 file or a JPEG file (PIC) or a WMA file.

Notes:

In the case of a WMA or MP3 file, the track is played, in the case of a JPEG file, the first picture is called up.

You can call up information on the file just played with »Title«. Ticker text information is displayed in the device display.

Navigating in the file browser

You can navigate conveniently through the file structure of a file CD (MP3, WMA or JPEG).

1 Call up the file browser with » ◎ «.

- After scanning the file CD (MP3, WMA or JPEG), the file browser is displayed. The example shows an MP3 CD which contains no further folders.

- The piece of music is played back or the picture forms.

4 If the entries in the file browser are fairly long, use »|« or »|« to scroll backwards or forwards page-by-page.

5 Press » ◀ « to return to the folder level.

- If the CD has no folders and only contains files, the top/first entry »TOP« is highlighted. If the CD contains folders the first item of the folder is highlighted »DIR« (for MP3 or WMA), with JPEG files the file browser is not displayed.

- The file browser is always displayed (for MP3 or WMA), it is possible to search through the entries while a file is being played back.

Playback

1 Start playback of the file CD or the entire folder from the folder levels »TOP«, »DIR« or »SUB« with »▶«.

- Music playback (MP3, WMA) of the entire CD or the selected folder is started.

- The pictures (JPEG) of the selected folder are displayed in sequence.

MP3 CD features

MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for compressing film data.

The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires approx. 10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding byte rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the byte rate of an MP3 file, the better the sound quality.

Most MP3 files in the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is considered CD quality.

MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info line/status display. This MP3 text can be displayed as ticker text in the device display.

MP3 CDs contain only sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps, ideal: 128 kbps).

MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, similar to files on a PC.

Playback

1 After the disc compartment closes and the MP3 CD is scanned, the file browser (contents menu) of the MP3 CD appears.

Setting the dynamic volume range

Dolby digital soundtracks have a very large dynamic volume range, hence there is a great difference in volume between quiet and loud tones. When played at high volume this can be a fascinating experience, which may however cause disturbance late at night.

Simply reducing the volume does not produce pleasing results, and the dialogue becomes difficult to understand. In order to achieve the desired results, you would have to reduce the volume only for the louder sounds, increase the volume during quieter scenes and maintain the volume of the dialogue. An adjustment is carried out with the following setting. You can change the volume relations in five steps.

USING AUDIO DEVICES

Connecting a multi-channel amplifier or digital two channel audio system

The digital multi-channel sound of a DVD can best be decoded and played back with a multi-channel audio/video amplifier (Dolby* digital decoder or DTS).

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket on the DVD player and into the appropriate socket on the digital multi-channel amplifier

or

Remove the protective cap of the optical digital output and plug an optical digital cable into the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket of the digital multi-channel amplifier.

Notes:

Keep the protective cap in a safe place and put it back in place on the device if it is not to be used for a longer period of time.

Even if you are using a digital connection, you should still make an analogue audio connection as it is possible, depending on the disc type, that no signal can be output via the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket.

Adapting digital sound output to a digital multi-channel amplifier/decoder

With this you choose whether the decoder signals are processed in the DVD player or fed unchanged to the digital output. With internal decoding, there is a stereo signal (PCM) at the digital output.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a process of digitalising analogue data in uncompressed form. The signals of an audio CD are in this format.

1 Press »i« to open the main menu.
2 Select »Sound« with »▼« or »▲« and activate with »OK« or select directly with »1 ... 0«.
3 Select »Extended settings« with »▼« or »▲« and activate with »OK«.
4 Select »Digital« with »▼« or »▲« and activate with »OK«.

Note:

For further operation, see the following sections, each one starting from step 1.

Selecting audio signal types for the digital output

Depending on the CD medium in use, various signals are present at the digital audio output.

Linear PCM audio is the signal recording format used with music CDs.

Whereas the signals for music are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits,

DVD signals are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits. This means that the sound quality of DVDs is better than that of music CDs.

	Audio recording format		Settings	Digital audio data output
DVD video DVD audio (video part only)	Dolby Digital		Digital output: Original	Dolby digital bit flow
			Digital output: PCM conversion	2-channel PCM data (48 kHz/16 bit)
	DTS		Digital output: Original	DTS bit flow
			Digital output: PCM conversion	DPL downmix
	MPEG audio*		Digital output: Original	2-channel PCM data (48 kHz/16 bit)
			Digital output: PCM conversion	2-channel PCM data (48 kHz/16 bit)
	Linear PCM	48 kHz	LPCM conversion mode: ON	PCM (48 kHz/16 bit) – 24 bit PCM
			LPCM conversion mode: OFF	PCM (48 kHz/16 bit)
		96 kHz	LPCM conversion mode: OFF	PCM (48 kHz/16 bit)
		CP: ON	LPCM conversion mode: ON	No data output(if copy protected)
		CP: OFF	LPCM conversion mode: ON	PCM (96 kHz)(if not copy protected)
Video CD	MPEG 1			Original: MPEG, otherwise PCM
Music CD	Linear PCM			PCM (44.1 kHz/16 bit)
MP3 CD	MP3			PCM (32-48 kHz/16 bit)

1 Select »Output Format« with »▼« or »▲« and activate with »OK«.
- Dolby Digital: 5.1 process for DVDs, loss inducing, sampling rate 48kHz , sample size 24 bit. A downmix algorithm can create a stereo or Dolby Surround signal from Dolby Digital.
2 Select the required output format (»DOLBY D« or »MPEG«) with »▼« or »▲« and confirm with »OK«.
3 Select the sound signal type – (»Original« or »PCM«) with »▼« or »▲« and confirm with »OK«.

Note:

»Original« is used if an external decoder is used, »PCM«, if the decoder installed in the DVD player is used or if the decoder cannot process the format, e.g. MPEG.

4 Switch back to the »Digital« menu with »←«.

Setting the bit rate

Here you choose the possible digital resolution and the size of the samples (dynamic range) of the output signal, in order to adapt the signal to the decoder. The more bits a sample comprises of, the more precisely a signal (sound) can be played back.

Setting the clock rate

This setting is used to limit the sampling rate of the digital output. The sampling rate indicates how many samples can be read in per time interval.

• Use »Original« for DVDs with a 96 kHz sound signal.
  The sound signal is output at the »AUDIO OUT L R« sockets and – if supported by the DVD – at the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket. This is the case for DVDs without copy protection algorithms.
• Use »48 kHz« for DVDs with a 48 kHz sound signal.
  The signal is output at the »AUDIO OUT L R« sockets and at the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket. The 96 kHz sound signal is converted into 48 kHz.

1 Select »Clock rate« with »▼« or »▲« and activate with »OK«. – This is set to »48 kHz« at the factory.

2 Select the desired value – (»Original«, »96 kHz« or »48 kHz«) with »▼« or »▲« and confirm with »OK«.

Setting the digital output level

With this setting, the output level can be adapted to external sound sources.

1 Select »Output level« with »▼« or »▲« and activate with »OK«.
2 Change the output level step-by-step (from »0 dB« to »20 dB«) with »▼« or »▲«, or press »◀« and »▶« to change it in increments of 10 and confirm with »OK«.
3 Press »i« to exit the menu.

Rectifying minor problems

Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DVD player. Impairment can also be caused by leads having been accidentally pulled out, damaged DVDs/CDs and worn-out batteries in the remote control.

If the following measures do not bring about satisfactory results, consult an authorised dealer.

DVD-R/RWs in DVD video format, as well as CD-Rs and CD-RWs in CD-DA and MP3 format can be played. Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction of the DVD player.
