Disc formats

Your DVD player can play back CD R, CD RW, VCD 2.0, Super VCD, DVD R, DVD RW discs.

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 and CD 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 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 (CD-DA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

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 (DVDs and CDs).

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the DVD player is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, for example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, do not 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 any 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. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player, the vessel may tip and the liquid spilled may penetrate into electrical components, thereby presenting a safety hazard.

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 a television or flat screen

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

• 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 the VIDEO OUT video socket and AUDIO OUT sockets 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 "Selecting the video output socket (EURO AV/RGB or S-Video)" section on page 15.

If the DVD player is connected to a television set or a flat screen with a 16:9 format, observe the settings described in the "Selecting the screen format of your television set" section on page 15.

The colour standard of the DVD player must be matched to the colour standard of your television or flat screen. The setting procedure is described in the section "Setting the TV standard" on page 14.

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

Connection using a EURO-AV (Scart) cable

Plug a standard, fully assigned EURO-AV cable into the «EURO AV → TV« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket of the television or flat screen.

Connection using a Y/C (S-VIDEO) cable and a cinch cable

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

Connecting using a cinch cable

Plug a standard cinch cable into the «VIDEO OUT« socket on the DVD player and the corresponding socket (VIDEO IN) on the television or flat screen.
2 Plug a standard cinch cable into the «R AUDIO OUT L« socket on the DVD player and into the corresponding sockets (AUDIO IN) of the television or flat screen.

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).

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 output «DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« 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 see page 13 for connection).

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 «R AUDIO OUT L« socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket on the audio system.

Caution:

Do not connect the R AUDIO OUT L × socket on the DVD player to the PHONO (record player) input socket on the audio system.

You can control and direct playback of a DVD using the menu of the DVD player on the television screen.

Special DVD features

DVDs have a title menu which provides an overview of the available titles and the passages they contain.

Some of the DVD player's functions, such as slow motion, freeze-frame and auto-play, can also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is therefore possible that the freeze-frame function, for example, cannot be selected during certain scenes.

Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages.

This enables you to select the language you prefer.

Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer with subtitles in several languages.

You can select subtitles from up to 32 different languages.

Since films are released in different parts of the world at different times, all DVD players world-wide are given a regional code. The regional code for your DVD player is 2.

DVDs may also be given a supplementary regional code. If you insert a DVD with a code different to that of the DVD player, a reference to the regional code appears on the television screen. The DVD player will not be able to play back the DVD.

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 tracks.

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 (slow motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when you are playing an S-VCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.

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 uses a playlist structure in the menu on the S-VCD/VCD.

PBC is activated by default on delivery. PBC and the program info on the S-VCD/VCD predetermine the navigation options. If the disc has PBC, «PBC» appears in the display of the DVD player.

If PBC is not available, the S-VCD/VCD behaves like an audio CD as regards navigation (with a track structure). You can select tracks with «1 ... 0« or «|« or «»»|« start playback using «PLAY » and end playback with «STOP » (press twice).

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 bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a an MP3 file, the better the sound quality.

Most MP3 files on 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 menu/status display.

MP3 CDs contain 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 in albums (directories) and files in a similar way to directories and files on a computer.

JPEG CD features

JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to compress picture files.

JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types. Such CDs are known as file CDs or mixed mode CDs. For example, the CD could contain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers).

The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is similar to that of an MP3 CD.

JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly data from digital cameras or from picture processing programs. The data (pictures) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.

Features of the KODAK picture CD

Kodak Picture CD

This method was developed for archiving analogue photographs.

After they are developed, small photographs are scanned with a resolution of 1536 × 1024 pixels and burnt onto a CD in JPEG format.

A KODAK picture CD can contain up to 40 pictures. In addition to the picture files, a KODAK picture CD can also contain imaging software which enables the user to play the CD on a PC, edit the pictures or view a slide show.

Displaying JPEG pictures

After the disc compartment closes and the JPEG picture CD is scanned, the slide show starts automatically.

Troubleshooting

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 do not rectify the problem, 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.

Problem	Possible cause/remedy
DVD player does not respond to the remote control	Point the remote control directly at the DVD player.
	Remove all obstacles which may interfere with the path of the remote control signal.
	Check or replace the remote control batteries.
The disc tray will not open, Picture/sound problems	Using the mains switch, switch the DVD player «ON/OFF« off and on again.

This operating software is available from specialist dealers or will be available shortly on the Grundig web sites www.grundig.com and www.grundig.de. Any instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded to the device will impair functioning and also, since it is an unauthorised intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee.

GRUNDIG will refuse to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs in such cases, even those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.

Additional information for units sold in the UK.

Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains supply.

The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European countries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from many European countries.

This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated fuse.

In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only, which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a qualified electrician.

Note:

The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.

If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective, ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock hazard.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

Important:

The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL

BROWN-LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with the letter "E", earth symbol "H", coloured green, or green & yellow.

Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from your local dealer, or by contacting Grundig Consumer Relations (01788 570088)
