Starting up
WARNING:
Leaking out battery acid can damage your health. Remove the battery from the battery compartment as soon as it is exhausted or if the remote control is not going to be used for a longer period of time. Wipe up leaked out battery acid with a cloth. In case of skin contact immediately wash the affected area. Seek medical advice if battery acid has been swallowed. In case of contact with your eyes wash out the eyes and seek medical advice.
ATTENTION:
Mismatching battery types or new and used batteries must never be used together. Different battery types have different properties. Do not use old and new batteries together. The mutual use of old and new batteries can shorten the lifetime of the new batteries and possibly result in leakage of the old batteries. When disposing of old batteries you should strictly comply with the legal and environmental regulations applicable in your country. Do not throw batteries into fi re!
i NOTE:
The lifetime of the enclosed batteries may be shortened because of storage.
- Open and remove the battery compartment cover.
- Insert two batteries of type AAA/R03 (1.5 V), ensure correct polarity (+ and -). Start with the negative pole (-).
- Attach and close the battery compartment cover.
i NOTE:
The signals from the remote control are transmitted to the DVD-Player by infrared light. You should therefore take care that the DVD-Player is not exposed to the direct sunlight. This could make the transmission of signals from the remote control to the DVD-Player impossible.

About the DVD-Player
With this DVD-Player you can play a vast variety of DVD-formats Page 38, "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.
Input Not Possible
If a function or input selected by you is not possible, the adjacent symbol is shown on the screen.
Playing media
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 fi Im, the „Chapters" may be subsections of this fi Im.
MPEG4: Your DVD player is also suitable for playing back files that have been compressed using the MPEG-4 system (short for Moving Picture Experts Group-4). MPEG-4 is a compression method by means of which large quantities of data can be reduced without any noticeable loss of picture and sound quality.

General setup settings
TV Display
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 fi lms 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 playback device:
4:3 Panscan: You will only see the middle section of the film. The borders will be cut off.
4:3 Letterbox: 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
16:9: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. Please note that fi lms, that have been recorded with TV-aspect 4:3 can still be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means, that replaying this fi lm will not require the complete wide screen area of the television.
Wide Squeeze: Select this option if you use a wide screen TV for replay. This setting is used to adapt films in 4:3 format to the aspect ratio of the widescreen television set.
i NOTE:
The setting „4:3 Panscan“ is not supported by all DVDs.
Angle Mark (Camera Angle)
If the DVD contains sequences recorded from different camera angles you can use the ANGLE button (Fig. 3/11) to select the various camera angles. This function is only available if the DVD contains scenes with various camera angles.
Before you can use this function it has to be activated.
On: The angle symbol is shown on the screen.
Off: No angle symbol is shown on the screen.
OSD Lang
Here you can select the language of the on-screen displays.
Closed captions
Some DVDs contain commentaries that accompany the film, e.g. subtitles for the hard of hearing.
On: The commentary is displayed.
Off: No commentaries are displayed.
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.
Last Memory
Here you can define how the DVD player should behave if the user presses the "button (Fig. 3/4) during playback.
On: If the playback of a DVD, CD or VCD is stopped and then restarted, playback begins from the previous position.
Off: If the playback of a DVD, CD or VCD is stopped and then restarted, playback begins from the beginning of the medium.
Changing the default settings
Audio Setup
Speaker Setup
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 a 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.
3D SURROUND: You may probably not have a 5.1-Audio system. In this case you can use the „3D SURROUND“-setting to simulate a similar sound effect.
5.1.CH: Select this setting to transmit the Audio signal to the output device without changes.
Front Speaker; Center Speaker; Rear Speaker; Subwoofer
i NOTE:
The „Center Speaker“, “Rear Speaker” and “Subwoofer” menus can only be selected if the “5.1.CH” option is activated in the “Downmix” menu.
Here you can set the characteristics of the loudspeakers.
Large: The loudspeaker produces bass and treble sounds.
Small: The loudspeaker produces only treble sounds.
Off: The loudspeaker does not produce any audio signals.
Dialog
i NOTE:
The „Dialog“ menu is only available if the „LT/RT“ option or the „Stereo“ option is activated in the „Downmix“ menu.
In the „Dialog“ menu it is possible to adjust the loudspeakers of the dialogs. Increase the volume of the dialogs with the Cursor button „▲“ or reduce the volume with the Cursor button „▼“.
D.R.C.
With this function you can limit the maximum volume that can be set in order to prevent damage to your loudspeakers.
On: The maximum volume that can be set is limited.
Off: The limit for the maximum volume that can be set is switched off.
ATTENTION:
If „DRC“ is switched off it is possible to turn up the volume to such an extent that the loudspeakers may be damaged.
Auto: Automatic restriction of the maximum volume that can be set.
Digital Audio Setup Page
Digital Output
Here you specify the settings for the digital Audio output.
■ SPDIF Off: Output of an analogue Audio signal, but no digital signal.
All: Output of a digital Audio signal. Use this setting if your amplifier is no two-channel stereo amplifier.
PCM only: Output of a digital Audio signal that is converted to a 2-channel signal. Use this setting if your amplifier is a two-channel stereo amplifier.
i NOTE:
If there is no Audio output, even though you connected the DVD-Player to an amplifier, you will most likely have chosen an incorrect setting for the Audio output.
LPCM Output
Here you can set the sampling rate of the audio signal. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency produces a better audio signal.
Dolby Digital Setup
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).
L-Mono: The Audio output is in Mono. In this case the signal of the „left" stereo channel is transmitted to all speakers.
R-Mono: The Audio output is in Mono. In this case the signal of the „right“ stereo channel is transmitted to all speakers.
Mix Mono: The Audio output is in Mono. In this case the signal of the "both" stereo channel is transmitted to all speakers.
Dynamic
The term „Dynamic“ (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.
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.
Changing the default settings
FULL -3/4: The dynamic range is compressed slightly (3/4) to full (FULL).
OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed at all (default).
Channel Delay
If you use a 5.1-Audio system, you may experience a distortion of the sound impression caused by the distance differences between speaker groups and listener. Sounds that should be heard by the listener at the same time arrive successively.
Here you can delay the sound produced by the central and rear loudspeakers or subwoofer in order to produce a more balanced sound for the listener.
Select the individual loudspeakers with the Cursor buttons (▼/▲).
Use the Cursor buttons▶(/◀) to perform the adjustments.
Equalizer
In this menu you can set various sound options.
3D Processing Page
Pro Logic II
The „Pro Logic II“ function converts stereo signals such as those on audio CDs, MP3, VCD or SVCDs into a realistic three-dimensional fi ve-channel sound experience.
i NOTE:
The „Pro Logic II“ menu is only available if the “5.1.CH” option is activated in the “Downmix” menu.
On: Pro Logic II is activated and you can enjoy the five-channel sound experience.
Off: Pro Logic II is deactivated.
Auto: Pro Logic II is activated automatically if the properties of the medium to be played back permit Pro Logic II conversion.
i NOTE:

HDCD
It is possible to play back HDCD-encoded CDs and DVDs with this device. With the „HDCD“ function you can then listen to high-quality sound with a greater degree of detail. Generally speaking, the greater the level of HDCD fi ltering, the better the quality of the sound.
