About the DVD-Player

With this DVD-Player you can play a vast variety of DVD-formats → Page 40, "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.

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 film, the "Chapters" may be subsections of this film. 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.

• In order to find out which files can be played back, the DVD player now reads the contents of the storage medium. In the case of large storage media, this procedure may take a long time.
• If you have also connected an output device to the CARD connection, its contents are shown first. Press the USB/CARD button (Fig. 3/24) a second time to show the contents of the USB storage medium. • The file mode can only be selected if the device is in DVD mode.
• Select the desired file(s) and start playback ⇒ Page 57, "Selecting file/directory and starting playback".
• If you would like to return to DVD mode, press the USB/CARD button (Fig. 3/24) again.

Media may contain numerous data/files and directories. You must therefore first determine the data to be played.

1. Place the CD or DVD in the drive if you have not already done so.
2. A two-column menu window appears in which the directories (if there are any directories present) or the files are listed on the left.
3. Use the Cursor buttons (Fig. 3/10) to select the desired directory or file in the left-hand list.
4. Select this by pressing the "ENTER" button (Fig. 3/30).

File: Once you have selected a file, this is now displayed directly or played back.

Directory: If you have called up a directory, a list of files now opens.

Here too you can select the desired file with the Cursor buttons and the ENTER button (Fig. 3/30). If you have selected a file, this is now displayed or played back.

i NOTE:

If for example the "Edit mode" option has been selected, the background of the keypad changes to light blue.

Please note:

There are both many 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 files are played back (for example files are displayed but cannot be played back). This is no malfunction of the player.

i NOTE:

In order to return from the files to the folders, select the "..." symbol (higher-level folder) and press the ENTER key (Fig. 3/30).

In the upper right-hand list the following options are available:

Working in file mode

Filter: Allows the selection of the file types shown in the left-hand list. Select between the file types "Audio", "Photo" and "Video". Only the selected file types are displayed. To leave the filter menu press the cursor button, ◀ (Fig. 3/10).

Repeat: By repeatedly pressing the ENTER key (Fig. 3/8) you can select between the options "single" (the current track is played back repeatedly), "folder" (the current folder is played back repeatedly) and "off".

Mode: By repeatedly pressing the ENTER key (Fig. 3/30) you can change the type of playback.

Normal = Random playback is deactivated.

Shuffle = The tracks on the CD are played back in random order.

Intro = Each track is played for 10 seconds.

Edit mode: In edit mode you can programme the tracks you would like to hear (see "Creating a Play List")

Creating a playlist

You may want to replay the titles, e.g. on a CD, in a different order to the order determined by the producer. Using the "Edit mode" function, you can create your own playing order.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1. In the upper right-hand list, select the option "Edit mode" and confirm with the ENTER key (Fig. 3/30). (The keypad background changes to light blue.)
2. Now use the ENTER key to select the tracks in the left-hand list.
3. Then change back to the upper right-hand list and use the "▼" cursor button to select the option "Add to Programme" and confirm with the ENTER key.
4. Now call up the program list by selecting the option "Program view" and confirming with ENTER. The screen display changes to the browser view.
5. Deactivate the edit mode by selecting "Edit Mode" again and confirming with ENTER. Change to the left-hand list and start playback with the ENTER key.

i NOTES:

• However, your playlist will be lost when switching off the DVD player or when inserting a new CD/DVD. - If you would like to compose the order of playback from several folders, it is first necessary to add the tracks from one folder to the playlist before you can change to another folder. To do so, deactivate the edit mode each time in order to show the contents of the other folder.

Deleting a Playlist

1. If you are not already in the browser view, you can delete individual tracks.
2. Activate the edit mode and select the tracks to be deleted in the left-hand list with the ENTER key.
3. Then select the option "Clear program" in the upper right-hand list and confirm with the ENTER key.

i NOTE:

It is only possible to delete individual tracks in the stop mode.

Stopping the replay

Press the "■" button (Fig. 3/27) on the remote control to stop the replay.

Viewing pictures

The DVD player can play back your digital photos. These photos may be stored on any medium (DVD, CD, etc.) supported by the DVD player.

i NOTE:

• 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. See "Selecting file/directory and starting replay" on page 57.

i NOTE:

After a few seconds a preview picture appears on the right-hand side in the two-column menu window.

Scrolling

Manual: Press the I ◀◀◀ (Fig. 3/26) or ▶▶▶I button (Fig. 3/25) on the remote control to scroll forward or back. Automatic: Press the "▶II" button (Fig. 3/28). The pictures change automatically. (The changeover time may vary depending on the size of the picture.)

i NOTE:

By pressing the TITLE key (Fig. 3/21) you can display 9 images at the same time on the screen. These can then be selected with the cursor buttons (Fig. 3/10) and ENTER (Fig. 3/30).

Changing the default settings

Rotating a photo

You can use the Cursor buttons to rotate a photo during replay:

Rotate for 180°: Cursor Button "▼", "▲" Rotate clockwise for 90°: Cursor Button "▶" Rotate counter-clockwise for 90°: Cursor Button "◀"

Changing the default settings

A large number of default settings can be comfortably changed via the screen menu.

Press the SETUP-button (Fig. 3/9) 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.

i NOTE:

Some of the menu settings are only available in stop mode (depending on the DVD).

Language Settings

OSD Language; Subtitles; MPEG4 Subtitles; Audio; Disc Menu

OSD language: Here you can select the language of the on-screen display. Subtitles: Here you can select the preferred language for the subtitles of the film. MPEG4 subtitles: Here you can select the preferred subtitle language for playing back MPEG4 files. Audio: Here you can select the preferred language for the audio output.

Video Settings

TV display

Here you can adapt the output of the DVD player to the TV aspect.

Regarding the background: If you do not have a wide screen TV, the TV aspect will be 4:3. However, most feature films have an aspect of 16:9, so the image is 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: 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 films that have been recorded with TV aspect 4:3 can still be replayed using aspect 4:3. This means that replaying this film will not require the complete wide screen area of the television.

View Mode

Here you can set various display options for the playback device that is connected.

i NOTE:

The setting "Panscan" is not supported by all DVDs.

TV Type

Match the output of the DVD-Player to the colour transfer system of your replay device. The following options are available:

PAL: A system commonly used in Europe. AUTO: Select this setting if your replay device is a multi-system unit. NTSC: A system primarily used in North America.

Video Output

Select the video output option for the playback device that is connected and which you wish to use. Choosing the right signal format depends on the type of connection and the playback device (see also the operating manual of the replay unit).

S-VIDEO: Choose this option if your replay device supports progressive signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by means of an S-Video cable. Component: Choose this option if your replay device supports progressive signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by means of a Component-Video cable. RGB: Select this option if your playback device is connected to the DVD player via the SCART connection. P-Scan: Choose this option if your playback device supports progressive signals and is connected to the DVD-Player by means of a Component-Video cable.

i NOTE:

• If you would like to select the "RGB" setting, please ensure that your playback device supports this setting.
• If the "S-VIDEO" or "P-Scan" option is activated but your playback device does not support Progressive Scan signals, no picture is displayed.
• By pressing the STEP/P-SCAN button (Fig. 3/33) you can also switch between the video output options. (Only in Stop Mode possible.)

Smart Picture

Here you can select the optimum picture settings.

There are three fixed settings available (standard, bright, soft) and one adjustable setting according to your personal taste (dynamic).
