Introduction

Your DVD player is equipped with some special features. The following information summarizes some of these features.

The On-Screen Information Display

The Info Display is a menu bar that you can bring up to access certain features while discs are playing. Icons in the display

represent the different features supported by your DVD player. By selecting different Info Display icons, you can access features including Scene Snip™, Repeat, Audio, Subtitles, Bookmarks and Camera Angle.

Time Search

The Time Search feature lets you go to a point on a disc by entering the elapsed time in the on-screen time display. For

example, if your favorite scene in a movie is one hour and twelve minutes after the beginning of the movie, you can enter 01:12:00 into the time display and go right to that point in the movie.

The Bookmarks Feature

You can mark a point on a disc that you can go to quickly with the bookmark feature. You can store up to six bookmarks. For example, if you have a favorite scene in a movie, you can bookmark it so you can return to it without having to fast forward or reverse to find the exact scene.

Ratings Limits and Scene Snip^*^

Your DVD player allows you to set ratings limits and passwords. For example, you can set the DVD player so that any

movie with a PG-13 rating or above requires a password to be entered. You can use Scene Snip to edit out sections of a

disc. When this disc is played, you must have the password to view the original version.

Since not all discs contain ratings, you can also decide if you want to allow free access or require a password to view unrated discs.

Scene Again™

when you are watching a DVD disc, you can replay a scene instantly by pressing the GO BACK »AGAIN button on the remote . The Scene Again’’'“ feature goes back approximately ten seconds and replays both video and audio while turning on the subtitles.

C^ynvSutround

The TruSurround* option can be used to simulate a six-speaker listening experience through two speakers.

Voice+’''^ This feature allows you to adjust the volume of the voices on a disc’s soundtrack. For example, the background music might

be very loud, so the dialog is difficult to hear. The Voice-i-^“ feature allows you to raise the volume of the voices while

keeping the remaining background sounds at a normal level.

Connections & Setup

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).

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 CD discs - Like DVD video discs. Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc.

• CD-R - A disc the you can write information to once (for example, download MP3 files).

• CD-RW — A re-writable disc. You can write information onto this type of disc more than once. For example, if you have previously downloaded MP3 files to a CD-RW disc, you can write information to the disc again, but it will erase the previously written information.

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. This

player has two types of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks: optical and coaxial. Use the jack (and the corresponding cable)

that matches the type of DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack your receii^er or decoder has. 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 6.

Note; The connection illustration on the left shows a digital optical cable. If your receiver

has a coaxial AUDIO IN jack, use a shielded (coaxial) video or audio cable with RCA plugs

at both ends to connect the coaxial digital audio jacks on the DVD player and the A/V

receiver.

2. Connect the video cable.

• Basic video connection - Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUT jack on

the back of your DVD Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV.

video-grade cables for the Y, P^, and connections. Note that it is essential to match the color coded connectors with a compatible TV. If your TV doesn’t have component video, use the basic video connection listed above.

3. Down Mix Audio (optional) - Connect the second set of AUDIO OUT jacks on the back of the DVD player to the AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the TV. This allows you to listen to discs without going through the receiver. Eor example, if it’s late at night and you want to listen to a disc without 5.1-channel sound on, you can turn off the receiver and listen to the disc through the TV speakers.

Regional Coding

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 menu paths that 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 or the front of the player.

• The DVD player’s Info Display - The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the

screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote or the front of the player.

• The DVD player menu - The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t

playing. It appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.

Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, 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.

Loading and Playing Discs

Your DVD player plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, CD-R discs and CD-RW 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), DVD-ROM

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

Notes:

If the message "Tray Locked" appears on the screen: .

• The retail lock feature has been accidentally engaged. To unlock the disc tray you must press and hold a combination of keys simultaneously:

On the front panel of the DVD Player, at the same time press and hold the SKIP FWD, OPEN* CLOSE, and TS SURROUND buttons for at least 3 seconds.

• The Front Tray Lock feature is turned on. From the Lock menu (see chapter 6),

highlight Front Tray Lock. Press OK to toggle the Front Tray Lock setting Off.

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 Info Display. 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.

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

Can'f Catch Up

An example of a disc menu. The menus on discs vary because the disc menu is created by the disc's author.

Playing MP3 Files

What is MP3?

MP3 is a format for storing digital audio. An audio CD-quality song can be compressed into MP3

format with very little loss of quality, while taking up much less space.

CD-R or a CD-RW discs that have been encoded in MP3 format can be played on your DVD player. In this manual, CD-R and CD-RW discs will be referred to as MP3 discs. MP3 files, or songs, are

referred to as titles.

Obtaining MP3 files

There are two ways to obtain MP3 files:

• By using computer software to encode MP3 files from an audio CD - You can download the software necessary to encode MP3 files from the internet.

When encoding MP3 files, you can include information such as title, artist, genre, and comments that will be displayed by your DVD player at the time the title is played. This information must be included at the time the file is encoded in order for it to be displayed at the time you play it oh the player.

• Downloading MP3 files from the internet — There are many internet sites that allow you to download MP3 files fro free, and many sites that require a fee.

Creating an MP3 Disc on Your Computer

Your DVD player handles MPEG-1, layer III audio. If you encode your own MP3 files from an

audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2, such as the 22kHz sampling frequency. Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD, you will lose the

extra features and compression of MP3. When you burn a CD, take the following steps to get optimal use of the CD for playing in your

DVD player.

• In your CD burning software, select ISO-9660 for the file system.

Note: The Joliet file system is not recommended. Using the Joliet file system may result in

shortened file names.

• The DVD player can support up to 30-character names. Your computer software may let you specify this option as ISO-9660 level 2, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge extension, or simply as ISO9660 with long directory or file names. If your computer software doesn’t support the above options, name your files and directories using eight characters or less.

Notes

For more information regarding MP3 encoding software and MP3 sites, visit http://

WWW. lyrazone. com.

Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for MP3 CDs.

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed, turn a device ON, such as a VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCRl button. Then press ON»OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be programmed.

Program the Remote

The remote may not operate all models of all brands.

There are two ways to program the remote control:

• automatic code search

• direct entry

Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of the components connected to your DVD Player. If you want to exit the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the red light on the remote turns off.

Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, TV, etc.)

Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCRl, VCR2, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON »OFF until the red light on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the red light on the remote stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote cannot can’t be programmed to operate that component.

Press and hold the TV button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the

TV Codes column.

Release the TV button. Press ON-OFF to see if the TV responds. If it doesn't follow the same steps, but enter the
