About the DVD-Player
With this DVD-Player you can play a vast variety of DVD-formats Page 33, "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.
Terminology
Input Not Possible
If a function or input selected by you is not possible, the adjacent symbol is shown on the screen.
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 fi les 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.

Using a USB medium
By means of the USB connection it is possible to connect various USB storage media to the DVD player. Examples of such devices are USB memory sticks or digital cameras.
This device has been developed in accordance with the latest technical developments in the USB fi eld. Unfortunately the large number of different types of USB storage media on offer today makes it impossible to guarantee full compatibility with all USB storage media.

- Press the SOURCE (Fig. 2/1) button on the remote control to call up the fi le selection menu.

Please note:
There are both lots of burning and compressing methods as well as high quality differences in CDs/DVDs and burned CDs/DVDs.
For this reason there may occasionally be problems when fi les are played back (for example fi les are displayed but cannot be played back). This is no malfunction of the player.
i NOTE:
With the „◀“ button (Fig. 2/21) you can return from the files to the directories.

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 playback device. For TVs this is normally 1024x576 pixel (TV-aspect 16:9) or 768x576 (TV-aspect 4:3).
Please note that any conversion generally involves a loss of data with respect to the original format.
Start the replay of photos by selecting the file from which the replay shall start Page 46, "Selecting file/directory and starting replay".

Press the SETUP-button (Fig. 2/20) 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
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

i NOTE:
Some of the menu settings are only available in stop mode (depending on the DVD).
System 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 fi Im. The fi Im is thus reduced in size, whereby black bars appear below and above the film.
16:9 Wide:
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 fi lms in 4:3 format to the aspect ratio of the wide-screen television set. (Preferred setting for the built-in screen.)
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. 2/25) 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 Language
Here you can select the language of the on-screen displays.
English
Closed Captions
Some DVDs contain commentaries that accompany the fi Im, 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.
Analogue Output 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.
Digital Output
Here you specify the settings for the digital Audio output.
SPDIF Off: Output of an analogue Audio signal, but no digital signal.
SPDIF/RAW: Output of a digital Audio signal. Use this setting if your amplifi er is no two-channel stereo amplifi er.
SPDIF/PCM: Output of a digital Audio signal that is converted to a 2-channel signal. Use this setting if your amplifi er is a two-channel stereo amplifi er.
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.
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.
FULL -1/8:
The dynamic range is compressed slightly (1/8) to full (FULL).
OFF:
The dynamic range is not compressed at all (default).
Video Setup
In this menu it is possible to perform various settings to adapt the video signal.
