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, Nero Digital™-CDs, DivX
©
Video-CDs, MP3 CDs, JPEG
coded (photo) CDs, KODAK Picture CDs, Video-CDs, S-Video-CDs and
audio-CDs can also be played back.

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/RW 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 DivX
©
Video or Nero Digital™ or 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 sued for the recording.
Audio CDs (CDDA) correspond to the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not correspond to 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 is designed to play video and audio signals from compact
discs (DVD and CD).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example
if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, 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.
Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD player,
as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
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.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch
off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the
external devices.

Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched
on. Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected
the external devices.
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 still offers sufficient quality is connecting
to the video socket and the audio sockets with a cinch cable.
Necessary adjustments to the television or the
flat screen
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 16.
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
television format” section on page 17.
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 system (TV norm)”
on page 16.
Connect the »EURO AV
➞
TV« socket directly to the television or
the flat screen, and not indirectly via a video recorder. This can
cause difficulties when playing back copy-protected DVDs/CDs.

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
remove the protective cap of the optical digital output and plug
an optical digital cable into the digital output »DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT« of the DVD player and into the corresponding
socket of the digital multi-channel amplifier.
Notes:
Keep the protective cap in a safe place and put it back in place
on the device if it is not to be used for a longer period of time.
Even if you are using a digital connection, you should still make
an analogue audio connection as it is possible, depending on
the disc type, that no signal can be output via the »DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT« socket (For the connection, see page 14).

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 subtitle superimposition 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.
Notes:
If the parental lock is activated, the »D« display appears on
the television screen.
You need to switch off this lock, please refer to the chapter on
”Locking and enabling the disc compartment of the DVD player”
on page 36.
If a DVD is not authorised, the coded rating of the access level
(1 ... 8) must be changed (see the ”Authorising the content of
the DVD” chapter on page 37).
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
S-VCD/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 switches between the
playlist structure (the menu on the S-VCD/VCD) and manual selection by the user.
The default setting upon delivery is PBC activated. PBC and the program info on the S-VCD/VCD predetermine the navigation options.
If the disc has PBC, »PBC« appears in the display.
If PBC is deactivated, the S-VCD/VCD behaves like a normal CD
as regards navigation (with a track structure). The user selects
tracks or titles using »1 … 0«, »5« and »6«, starts playback
using »
8«, and stops it using »7«.
Switching PBC (playback control) on/off
1 To deactivate the PBC function, press ».« during playback.
– The display »PBC« on the DVD player goes out.
2 To activate the PBC function, press ».« during playback.
– The display »PBC« on the DVD player lights up.

Nero DigitalTMCD features
Nero Digital™ is the ideal solution for video and audio codecs.
Codecs are required for processing and playing audio and video files.
The Nero Digital™ codec allows you to save all the audio and video
material on a DVD on a normal data CD – with no perceptible loss in
quality.
The audio and video codecs of Nero Digital™ are based entirely on the
industry standard MPEG-4 Video ISO 14496-2 and MPEG-4 Audio
High Efficiency AAC and Parametric Stereo AAC.
Nero Digital™ files have the extension .MP4.
Nero Digital™ files can contain a video track, up to 8 audio tracks and
up to 32 overlay tracks (e.g. subtitles).
To create Nero Digital™ files you need the “Nero Recode” or “Nero
Vision Express” software. You can find out more about Nero Digital™ at
www.nerodigital.com.
Features of the DivX©VIDEO CD
DivX©Video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 compression
system, which is used to encrypt and display compressed video data.
This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the
DivX
©
format. This results in playback quality with less artefacts and
higher compression.
DivX
©
video files have the suffix .AVI. DivX©Video data are packed into
the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3 data,
this means:
DivX©Video and MP3 audio form the AVI file.
Further information on DivX
©
Video and how to create AVI files can be
found under www.DivX Networks.de.
You can see the registration code in the »Disc preferences« —> »DIVX
Registration« menu on page 41.

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 byte rate for MP3 files
is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the byte rate of a an MP3 file, the
better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files in 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 into folders and subfolders, similar to files
within a PC.

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 pixel and burnt onto a CD in JPEG format.
A KODAK picture CD can contain up to 40 pictures. In addition to the pictu-
re 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.

Switching the dynamic range (volume range)
on/off
Dolby digital soundtracks have a very large dynamic volume range,
hence there is a great difference in volume between quiet and loud
tones. When played at high volume this can be a fascinating experience, which may however cause disturbance late at night.
Simply reducing the volume does not produce pleasing results, and
the dialogue becomes difficult to understand. In order to achieve
the desired results, you would have to reduce the volume only for
the louder sounds, increase the volume during quieter scenes and
maintain the volume of the dialogue.
1 Select the »Dynamic« line by pressing »S« or »A« and
press »OK« to confirm.
2 Select the function by pressing »S« or »A« (»On«) and
press »OK« to confirm.
Selecting the digital output
Here you select whether the audio signal is emitted from the »DIGI-
TAL AUDIO OUT« sockets in the original data format or in PCM
format.

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 bring about satisfactory results, 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.
Environmental note
This product has been made from high-quality parts and materials which can be re-used and
recycled.
Therefore, do not throw the product away with normal household waste at the end of its life. Take it to
a collection point for recycling electrical and electronic devices. This is indicated by this symbol on the

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.
