Guarantee:

We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorized by GRUNDIG is permissible for the DVD player. You can obtain this software from your dealer, or in the near future from the Grundig Websites www.grundig.com or www.grundig.de. Any instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded into the device will impair functioning and also, due to unauthorized intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee. As a rule, GRUNDIG declines to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs thus due, even those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.

Please note the following points when setting up the 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 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 any cloth or similar articles underneath it.

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 air vents or the disc compartment.

Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the DVD player, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

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 is unable to scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a standard commercial 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 ecologically compatible, high quality materials have been used. The batteries included are free of mercury and cadmium.

The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. This DVD player is easily disassembled to make servicing easier and optimise recycling.

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 subtitle superimposition 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. Your DVD player has been given region code 2.

DVDs can also be given a supplementary regional code. If you insert a DVD with different code 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.

Adapting the digital output to a digital multi-channel amplifier

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

Press i to call up the main menu.
2 Select the «Sound« menu with «▼ « or « ▲ « activate with «OK«, or select directly with «1 … 0«.
3 Select the Digital line 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

The audio signal type must be selected according to the connected decoder/amplifier.

1 Select the Output format line with or and activate with OK .
2 Select the required output format, (»DOLBY« «MPEG«, or «PCM«) with «▼ « or « ▲ « and confirm with «OK«.
3 Select the audio signal type (»Original« or »PCM«) with «▼ « or « ▲ « and then press «OK« to confirm.
4 Return to the »Digital« menu by pressing »← «.

Setting the bit rate

Here you choose the possible digital resolution and the dynamic range possible of the output signal in order to adapt the signal to the decoder.

1 Select the Bits line with or ▲ and activate with OK .
2 Select the desired value (»16«, «20« or «24«) with «▼« or «▲« and press «OK« to confirm.

Setting the sampling rate.

This function is used to limit the sampling rate of the digital multi-channel amplifier.

1 Select the Abstrate line with or and press OK to activate the function.

• This has been set to 48kHz at the factory.

• 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.
• Use 96kHz for DVDs with a 96 kHz sound signal for optimum analogue sound output at the AUDIO OUT L R 机 sockets.
• Use 48kHz for DVDs with a 48kHz sound signal.

The signal is output at the «AUDIO OUT L R« socket and at the «DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket. THE 96 kHz sound signal is converted into 48 kHz.

Setting the digital output level

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

1 Select the Output level line with or ▲ and activate with OK .
2 Change the output level set by step (from 0dB to 20dB ) with or , or with and in 10 steps, and press OK to confirm.
3 Press i to quit the menu.

Adapting the analogue output to the HiFi system

With this you set the output level of the audio signal and the audio operation type (stereo, surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic).

Press i to call up the main menu.
2 Select the «Sound« menu with «▼ « or « ▲ « activate with «OK« or select directly using «1 … 0«.
3 Select the Extended settings line with or and activate with OK.
4 Select the Analog line with or ▲ and activate with OK .

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

Setting the output level

1 Select the Output level line with or ▲ and activate with OK .
2 Change the output level set by step (from 0dB to 20dB ) with or , or with and in increments of 10, and press OK to confirm.

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.

Fault	Cause/Remedy
DVD player does not respond to remote control	Point the remote control directly at the DVD player.
	Remove all obstacles which may impair the path of the remote control signal.
	Check or replace the remote control batteries.
No picture	Check the video connection.
Distorted picture	Make sure that there are no fingerprints on the DVD/CD, follow the cleaning instructions on this page.
DVD/CD cannot be played	Check that the label on the DVD/CD is facing upwards.
	Clean the DVD/CD.
	Check if the DVD/CD is damaged by testing it with another DVD/CD.
No sound	Check the audio connections.
	Try another playback source.
Distorted sound from HiFi system	Ensure that the audio connections have not been connected at the phono input on the amplifier.
