DVD30 UNIVERSAL DISC PLAYER
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Primare DVD30 Universal Discplayer! This chapter introduces you to its key features, and explains how you can take advantage of its configurability to create a system perfectly suited to your requirements.
Welcome to the DVD30 Universal Disc Player
The DVD30 is endowed with the very latest video and audio processing technology to deliver the best performance from any disc that you choose. Its universal capabilities will ensure ultimate convenience and ease of use.
Universal choice
The DVD30’s twin-wave laser pickup for CD and Video allows you to play CD/SACD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3/ DVD-A/DVD-V/DVD-R and DVD-RW (DVD Video Format) discs for true multi-media compatibility.
Video Performance Features
The DVD30’s twin-wave laser pickup for CD and Video allows you to play CD/SACD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3/ DVD-A/DVD-V/DVD-R and DVD-RW (DVD Video Format) discs for true multi-media compatibility.
Audio Performance Features
Superior sound quality is assured through the use of triple, balanced, 192KHz/24bit DACs allowing multi-channel DVD-A and SACD playback for surround sound music with useful bass management facilities. Primare’s characteristically refined analogue, fully balanced, circuitry will provide clear, undistorted sound to match the DVD30s superb video performance. Total Harmonic Distortion is a mere 0.004% at 1kHz whilst dynamic range, S/N ratio and channel separation meet the highest specification. Built-in decoding of Dolby(r) Digital and dts(r) surround sound formats means that the DVD30 can act as both player and surround processor in a high calibre home theatre system.
Flexible outputs
The DVD 30 provides a wide range of video and audio outputs to embrace numerous system-building options. Video outputs include two Component Video outputs, S- Video, Composite Video and 21-pin Scart. Digital coaxial, optical, outputs are augmented by a six-channel RCA analogue output, two-channel RCA and ultra-low noise balanced XLR outputs.
Mulitmedia inputs
To allow the DVD30 to perform in specialised automated multi-room applications, it is equipped with RS232 control capability, and offers data and IR inputs.
Easy navigatíon
The DVD30 is easy to use. All the parameters are adjusted using simple but comprehensive On Screen Display menus, which work in conjunction with a ”setup navigator” that immediately guides the user through the basics during initial power-up, allowing a quick, easy and convenient way to optimise the DVD30 according to user taste and environment.

Playing discs
The basic playback controls for playing discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the remotecontrol chapter.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and DVD-R/RW. If a function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.
•Switch the player on.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.
•Press 
to open the disc tray.
•Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a doublesided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down).
•Press 
to start playback.
TV System
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs,you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region ’s system.
•Switch the player into standby.
•Hold down 
then press 
to switch the TV system.
–You have to switch the player into standby before each change.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO -> NTSC -> PAL -> AUTO -> NTSC -> PAL etc.
The display indicates the new setting.
– This function is not available in region three players.
About MOD.(Modulation)PAL
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC -> PAL conversion.
Infra-red remote control
The DVD30 is controlled by an infra-red remote control pointed at the front panel.
The DVD30 can also be controlled by using the IR-input at the backpanel.
•Switch off the DVD30 using the main switch at the backpanel.
•Hold down the 
button at the front and then switch on again by using the main switch.
The display shows ’Remote back input’.
For security reasons this setting disappears every time the DVD30 player is switched off by using the main switch. To reactivate the IR-input at the backpanel the above described procedure has to be repeated.
Resetting the disc player
•Switch the player into standby.
•Hold down 
then press 
to reset the player.
