Special features of your DVD player
Your DVD player provides you with perfect digital video playback
of studio quality.
It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or
with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of DVD
and the audio system or stereo television.
Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel
and language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera
recording angles. Your DVD player is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.
As well as DVDs, MP3 CDs, JPEG coded (photo) CDs, KODAK Picture CDs, WMA CDs, Video CDs, S Video-CDs and audio CDs can

5 Operating manual
Disc formats
Your DVD player can play back CD R, CD RW, VCD 2.0, Super
VCD, DVD R, DVD RW discs.
Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the
quality of the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a
home-made DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a
malfunction of the DVD player.
You have to finalise your own CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-ROM
recordings.
Make sure the settings of your CD burning program correspond to
the ISO 9660 standard to create a CD R or CD RW.
When MP3 or JPEG CDs are played back, individual tracks/pictures may be skipped or incorrectly played back/ displayed. This
can be due to the disc configuration, the encoder software or the
hardware used for the recording.
Audio CDs (CD-DA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification
and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause
playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY
___________________________
Please note the following information when setting up your DVD player:
This DVD player set is designed to play video and audio signals from com-
pact discs (DVDs and CDs).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, for
example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, do not 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 directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.
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 disc compartment of the DVD player.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player,
the vessel may tip and the liquid spilled may penetrate into electrical components, thereby presenting a safety hazard.
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 cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a commercially
available 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 environmentally-friendly, high-quality materials have been
used. The batteries included contain no mercury or cadmium.
The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled. This DVD player is designed so that it
can be easily disassembled to aid servicing and recycling.

Connecting a television or flat screen
You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on your
television or flat screen:
– You get the best picture quality by making the connection at the
EURO-AV socket using a fully assigned EURO-AV cable.
– The standard connection for many devices, and one which provi-
des good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the AUDIO
OUT cinch sockets.
– The simplest option which stills offers sufficient quality is connec-
ting the VIDEO OUT video socket and AUDIO OUT sockets with a
cinch cable.
Necessary adjustments to the television
After you have made the connections at the selected output sockets,
you must activate them. The setting procedure is described in the
“Selecting the video output socket (EURO AV/RGB or S-Video)” section on page 15.
If the DVD player is connected to a television set or a flat screen with
a 16:9 format, observe the settings described in the “Selecting the
screen format of your television set” section on page 15.
The colour standard of the DVD player must be matched to the
colour standard of your television or flat screen. The setting procedure is described in the section “Setting the TV standard” on page
14.
Connect the »EURO AV
➞
TV« socket directly to the television or
flat screen, not indirectly via a video recorder. This can cause difficulties when playing back copy-protected CDs.
Connection using a EURO-AV (Scart) cable
1 Plug the EURO-AV cable supplied into the »EURO AV ➞TV«
socket of the DVD player and into the corresponding socket of
the television or flat screen.

Connecting a multi-channel amplifier or digital
two-channel audio system
The digital multi-channel sound of a DVD can best be decoded and
played back with a multi-channel audio/video amplifier (Dolby*
digital decoder or DTS**).
1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT« socket on the DVD player and into the appropriate
socket on the digital multi-channel amplifier;
or

DVD features
You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the label.
Depending on the content of the DVD, the discs contain one or more
titles.
Each title may contain one or more chapters. Titles and chapters
can be selected easily and conveniently.
You can control and direct playback of a DVD using the menu of the
DVD player on the television screen.
Special DVD features
DVDs have a title menu which provides an overview of the available
titles and the passages they contain.
Some of the DVD player's functions, such as slow motion, freezeframe 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 subtitles 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. The
regional code for your DVD player is 2.
DVDs may also be given a supplementary regional code. If you
insert a DVD with a code different 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.
If the DVD player is unable to read the DVD, the following message
appears: Files cannot be played.
Notes:
If a DVD is not authorised, the coded rating of the access level
(»1« ... »7«) must be changed (see the »Authorising the content
of the DVD« chapter on page 33).
If the »
-« symbol appears on the television screen, then the
selected function is not possible with this DVD.

S-VCD/VCD features
You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the
label.
Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD (films, music videos
etc.), the discs may carry one or more tracks.
Like audio CDs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track structure.
S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control)
system for track navigation. This depends on the processing and
burning software used.
You can control and direct playback of the S-VCD/VCD using the
menu of the DVD player on the television screen.
You cannot select some of the functions on the DVD player (slow
motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when you are playing an SVCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.
Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs can have various
subtitles and dubbed languages.
PBC (playback control)
PBC is a navigation option for S-VCD/VCDs. PBC information is
burned onto the disc when it is made. PBC uses a playlist structure
in the menu on the S-VCD/VCD.
PBC is activated by default on delivery. PBC and the program info
on the S-VCD/VCD predetermine the navigation options. If the disc
has PBC, »PBC« appears in the display of the DVD player.
If PBC is not available, the S-VCD/VCD behaves like an audio CD
as regards navigation (with a track structure). You can select tracks
with »1 … 0« or »
5
« or »6« start playback using »8« and end
playback with »7« (press twice).

MP3 CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion
Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for
compressing film data.
The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with
a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires approx.
10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate
for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a an
MP3 file, the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps.
160 kbps is considered CD quality.
MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned
onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from
the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and
display this in the info menu/status display.
MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted
during MP3 playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the
music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps, ideal: 128
kbps).
MP3 files can be organised in albums (directories) and files in a
similar way to directories and files on a computer.
Playback
1 After the disc compartment closes and the MP3 CD is scanned,
and the file browser (table of contents) of the MP3 CD is displayed.
– Playback starts automatically with the first file of the first
album.
2 Select the file using »A«, »S«, »a« or »s«.
3 Start playback using »OK«.
– Playback starts with the selected file.
4 Interrupt playback using »
!
« (pause).
5 Continue playback with »

JPEG CD features
JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to compress picture files.
JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types.
Such CDs are known as file CDs or mixed mode CDs. For example,
the CD could contain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example
to display album covers).
The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is similar to that of an MP3 CD.
JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is
mostly data from digital cameras or from picture processing programs. The data (pictures) can be displayed individually or in
sequence in a slide show.
Features of the KODAK picture CD
This method was developed for archiving analogue photographs.
After they are developed, small photographs are scanned with a
resolution of 1536 x 1024 pixels and burnt onto a CD in JPEG
format.
A KODAK picture CD can contain up to 40 pictures. In addition to
the picture files, a KODAK picture CD can also contain imaging
software which enables the user to play the CD on a PC, edit the
pictures or view a slide show.
Displaying JPEG pictures
1 After the disc compartment closes and the JPEG picture CD is
scanned, the slide show starts automatically.
Call up the file browser or inset picture overview
1 During playback call up the file browser (table of contents for
the JPEG CD) using »7«.
2 Switch to the next or previous page of the inset picture
overview using »
6« or »5«.
3 Select the desired picture with »A«, »S« »a« or »s« and
confirm with »OK«.
– The JPEG picture appears as a still image on the screen, and
after a short while the next picture appears.
Note:
To view the picture for longer, press »

Troubleshooting
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 do not rectify the problem, consult an
authorised dealer.
DVD R/RWs in DVD video format, as well as CD Rs and CD RWs in CD-DA and MP3 format can be
played. Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the recording itself,
it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a
malfunction of the DVD player.
Cleaning discs
Wipe the dirty disc with a cloth from the centre outwards in a straight line.
Do not use any solvents such as benzene, thinners, conventional cleaner or anti-static spray for vinyl
records.
Software information
We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorised by GRUNDIG is permissible for
the DVD player. This operating software is available from specialist dealers or will be available shortly on the Grundig web sites www.grundig.com and www.grundig.de. Any instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded to the device will impair functioning and also, since
it is an unauthorised intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee.
GRUNDIG will refuse to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs in such cases, even
those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.
Subject to alteration and correction!

Additional Information for units sold in the UK.
Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains
supply.
The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European countries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from
many European countries.
This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved
converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated
fuse.
In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only,
which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately
disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a
qualified electrician.
Note:
The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.
If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is
used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the
plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective,
ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock
hazard.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct
type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the
fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse
covers should be obtained from your dealer.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter “N”
or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “
z”, coloured green, or green &
yellow.
