Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of this
high-quality Insignia product. Your NS-UPDVD
DVD player represents the state of the art in
DVD players and is designed for reliable and
trouble-free performance.

Warning:

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose your player to rain or moisture.

CAUTION:

ELECTRIC
COVER
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

(OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE

TO

Making adjustments to controls or performing
procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not
try to open the enclosure. Visible laser radiation
when open. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.

Caution:

Your player should not be exposed to water
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should be placed on your
player.

Caution:

Class 3B visible and invisible laser radiation
when open and interlocks defeated. Do not stare
into the beam or view directly with optical
instruments.

Cautions

• Most player manufacturers recommend their
players be placed upon a dedicated circuit.
That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only
that player and has no additional outlets or
branch circuits.

• Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,
overloaded extension cords, frayed power
cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation
are dangerous. Any of these conditions could
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your player, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of your player, and
have the cord replaced with an exact
replacement part by an authorized servicer.

• Protect the power cord from physical or
mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits your
player.

• To disconnect power from the power outlet, pull
out the power cord plug. When installing your
player, make sure that the plug is easily
accessible.

Important safeguards

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

Caution:

This product employs a laser system. To ensure
correct use of this product, read this owner’s
manual carefully and retain it for future
reference. Should your player require
maintenance, contact qualified service
personnel.

• Read instructions– Read all the safety and

operating instructions before operating your
player.

• Retain instructions–Retain the safety and

operating instructions for future reference.

• Follow warnings–Follow all warnings on

your player and in the operating instructions.

• Follow instructions–Follow all operating

and use instructions.

• Cleaning–Unplug your player from the wall

outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

• Attachments–Do not use attachments not

recommended by your player manufacturer
because they may cause hazards.

• Water and moisture–Do not use your player

near water, for example, near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

Insignia NS-UPDVD 1080p Upconvert DVD Player

• Accessories–Do not place your player on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
Your player may fall, causing serious injury to
someone and serious damage to your player.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with your player.

If you mount your player, follow
the manufacturer's instructions
and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the
manufacturer. Move a player
and cart combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause your player and cart
combination to overturn.

• Ventilation–Slots and openings in the

cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
your player and to protect it from overheating.
Do not block openings. Do not place your
player on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Your player should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. Do
not place your player in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless correct
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.

• Power sources–Use only the type of power

source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your player dealer or local
power company. For players intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.

• Grounding or polarization–Your player is

equipped with a polarized alternating-current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Power cord protection–Route power-supply

cords so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from your player.

• Lightning–For added protection for your

player during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to your player due to
lightning and power-line surges.

• Power lines–An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, do not touch power
lines or circuits because contact with them
might be fatal.

• Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets

and extension cords because this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Object and liquid entry–Never push objects

of any kind into your player through openings
because they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on your player.

• Servicing–Do not attempt to service your

player yourself because opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

• Damage requiring service–Unplug your

player from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into your player.

• If your player has been exposed to rain or
water.

• If your player does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions,
because incorrect adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and often
requires extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore your player to its
normal operation.

• If your player has been dropped or
damaged in any way.

• When your player exhibits a distinct
change in performance, this indicates a
need for service.

• Replacement parts–When replacement

parts are required, make sure that the
service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, injury to persons, or other
hazards.

• Safety check–Upon completion of any

service or repairs to your player, ask the
service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that your player is in
correct operating condition.

• Heat–Place your player away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

Caution

Batteries should never be thrown away or
incinerated but disposed of in accordance with
your local regulations concerning chemical
wastes.

Warning

To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of
plug to the wide slot in the power outlet and fully
insert the plug.

• End-of-life disposal–This symbol

on the product or in the instructions
means that your electrical and
electronic equipment should be
disposed at the end of its life
separately from your household waste. There
are separate collection systems for recycling

Introduction

To ensure correct use of your player, read this
owner’s manual carefully and retain for future
reference.

About the symbol

The symbol may appear on your TV display
during operation and indicates that the function
is not permitted by your player or specific media.

Playable discs

Disc Characteristics

DVD (8 cm/12 cm disc)

DVDs such as movies that can be purchased or
rented. Your player can play one-layer or two-layer
discs.

DVD+/-RW discs can also be played.

Audio CD or HD-CD (8 cm/12 cm disc)

Music CDs, HD-CDs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs in music
CD format that can be played.

Regional code

Your player has a regional code (1) printed on
the back of the case. Your player can play only

Notes

• Most DVDs have a globe with one or more
numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This
number must match your player’s regional code
or the DVD cannot play.

code from your player, the message “Check
Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.

Copyright

This product incorporates copyright protection
technology that is protected by U.S patents and
other intellectual property rights. Use of this
copyright protection technology must be
authorized by Macrovision, and is intended for
home and other limited viewing uses only unless
otherwise authorized by Macrovision. Reverse
engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Manufactured under license from Dolby
Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D symbol
are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

CD-R/CD-RW (8 cm/12 cm disc)

CD-R/CD-RWs that contain audio titles, MP3,
WMA, or JPEG files.

Notes

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for
example, heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so
may result in malfunctions.

• Depending on the recording software and the
finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or
DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

• DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs
recorded using a personal computer or a DVD
or CD recorder may not play if the disc is
damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or
condensation on your player’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format,
there are cases in which it may not play
because of the settings of the application
software used to create the disc. (Check with
the software publisher for more detailed
information.)

• Your player requires discs and recordings to
meet certain technical standards in order to
achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded
DVDs are automatically set to these standards.
There are many different types of recordable
disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3
or WMA files), and these require certain
pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure
compatible playback.

• You should note that permission is required in
order to download MP3 or WMA files and
music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.

Using progressive scan

Consumers should note that not all
high-definition televisions are fully compatible
with your player and may cause artifacts to be
displayed in the picture.

In case of progressive scan picture problems, we
recommend that you switch the connection to
the standard definition output. If there are
questions regarding your television’s
compatibility with your player, contact our
customer service center.

• The system uses a polarized AC plug with one
wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will
only fit into matching polarized power outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility
of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your
power outlets, you probably have outdated,
non-polarized outlets which should be changed
by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file
the wide blade on the plug or use an adapter to
make the plug fit into your outlet.

• Never connect the AC cord plug to other than
the specified voltage (120 V 60 Hz). Use the
attached power cord only.

2 Activate your player’s digital output. (See

“AUDIO SETUP” on page 11).

Digital multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection provides the
best sound quality. For this, you need a
multi-channel audio/video receiver that supports
one or more of the audio formats supported by
your player, including MPEG 2, Dolby Digital,
and DTS. Check the receiver manual and the
logos on the front of the receiver to verify this.

Note

• If the audio format of the digital output does not
match the capabilities of your receiver, the
receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound
or no sound at all.

• To play six-channel digital surround sound
through a digital connection, your receiver must
have a digital multi-channel decoder.

• To see the audio format of the current DVD
displayed on the screen, press AUDIO.

• Your player does not perform internal
(2-channel) decoding of DTS sound tracks. To
enjoy DTS multi-channel surround, you must
