Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your DVD player.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Connection Pictures

Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

Note: The illustrations in this book are representational, and in some instances may not exactly match the item represented.

Types of Discs Your DVD Player will Play

• DVD video discs – DVD video discs contain high quality picture and sound content.

• Audio discs – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only.

• Video CDs – Like DVD discs, VCDs contain picture and sound content. VCDs hold less content that DVD discs.

• CD-R (MP3 files) – CD-R discs with MP3 files recorded or downloaded on them..

Dolby Digital® and DTS

Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.

The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the original movie the disc was recorded from was encoded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!

This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder.

Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers.

It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Sound menu, especially when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. For more information, see chapter 5.

Connections and Setup

Install Batteries in the Remote

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.

2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the remote.

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.

Important Battery Information

• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Point the Remote in the Right Direction

When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.

Turn on the TV and DVD Player

How to Find Your TV’s Video Input Channel

You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel (or S-Video Channel if you connected the SVideo cable to your TV and to your DVD Player) to see the DVD Player’s menu and to see the content that’s on a disc. The video channel on TVs varies for different brands and different models. In order for your DVD remote to work, your TV must be set on the correct video input channel.

• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press the TV button on the TV remote (not the DVD remote). Then press the INPUT button on the remote.

• If you have another brand, consult your TV’s Owner’s Manual.

If those options don’t work, try one of the following options.

• Press a button on the TV remote (see table below).

• Select it from the TV’s menu system.

• Tune directly to the DVD input channel by pressing a specific number (see table below).

• Go through all the channels in the channel list by pressing the channel up/down buttons on the TV.

Some common scenarios are listed in the following table:

Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This player’s code is region 1.

Using Different Menus

Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate ways you can use to access features:

• The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu. The contents of each disc menu varies according to how the disc was authored and what features are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the remote.

• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. Press MENU on the remote to bring up the DVD player menu.

Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you have subtitles turned on, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu item is “grayed out” it means that item isn’t available.

• Information Banners – Banners are a type of information display that appear across the top of the screen during playback. Information banners are activated by pressing the INFO button on the remote.

Loading and Playing Discs

Your DVD player plays DVD discs and audio CD discs. Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used with this player:

• Laserdiscs

• CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-RW, DVD-ROM

• Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)

• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).

3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button on the front of the player to close the disc tray.

The DVD Player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was programmed:

• The disc starts playing.

• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will

start disc play. Highlight that option and press OK.

• The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Press the

PLAY/OK button on the remote.

When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the DVD Player picks up where you left off. To begin the title over, press STOP twice.

Using a Disc Menu

A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on-screen information banners. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters, or it may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings.

Note: “Default settings” are the settings that the player will default to each time it is turned on.

Any settings you change with the disc menu only temporarily override the default settings.

Use the Setup Menu of the DVD player to change the default settings (See chapter 6).

Although the content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc, the following example will give you an idea of what to expect.

Tip

Many discs skip the disc menu and start playing automatically. To access the disc menu when you’re playing a disc, press MENU on the remote.

1. While the disc is playing, press MENU. The disc menu appears.

What is a Video CD?

Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high.

VCDs can have more than one title. Each title is divided into tracks (similar to chapters on a DVD disc).

The Video CD Disc Menu

A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear after the disc is loaded into the player.

2. Press PLAY/OK to begin playback of the selected track.

3. Press or on the remote to scroll through the tracks.
