2. Insert fresh batteries. Make sure that the polarities (+ and –) are aligned correctly.

3. Replace the battery door.

Important Battery Information

• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

You must connect the telephone line cord to your DVD Player and to a telephone jack in order to use all of the Divx features.

We’ve provided a telephone jack splitter so you can keep your DVD Player and your phone connected to the phone jack all the time.

Insert the splitter into the phone jack. Insert the telephone line cord from your phone into one of the splitter’s jacks and insert the telephone line cord from your DVD Player into the other jack on the splitter.

Setup and Connections

This DVD Player is capable of playing the following types of discs with the corresponding logos.

Divx discs

Consider the Location of Your Player

You must connect your DVD Player to a telephone jack in order to play Divx discs. The telephone line cord packed with your player is approximately 25 feet long. Consider this when deciding where to hook up your DVD Player.

Protect Components from Power Surges

• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

DVDs

Audio CDs

DO NOT Use CD-R Discs!

The wavelength of the pickup of this DVD Player may cause CD-R discs to be erased. DO NOT play CD-R discs in this player!

• Always turn off the DVD Player, TV, and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Position Cables Correctly to A void Audio Hum or Interference

• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

• Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect your components.

• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.

CAUTION

Protect your components from overheating.

• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD Player.

• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

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.

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 setting in the DVD Player’s Setup menu, especially when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack.

If you are connecting your DVD Player to a Dolby Digital receiver, choose the

Dolby Digital setting in the Audio Equipment menu (within the Setup

menu). If you’re connecting your DVD Player to a DTS receiver or decoder, choose the DTS setting in the Audio Equipment menu. For more information, see Audio Equipment menu information on p. 60.

5. Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN jack on the back of your DVD Player, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.

6. Turn on your TV.

7. Turn your TV to the Video Input Channel. (If you don’t know what channel is the Video Input Channel, please see p. 14).

8. Turn on your DVD Player.

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. Both of these

formats provide six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.

Remember, the disc will only play 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc was recorded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

Dolby Digital is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation DTS is a registered trademark of Digital Theater Systems

Remove the Plastic Covers

If you’re using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack, check to see if there is a protective cover inside of the jack and on the ends of the optical digital cable. You must remove these protective covers before inserting the optical digital cable into the jack.

Setup and Connections

To access the Divx registration screen, highlight Divx in the player’s main menu and press OK.

5. Have your credit card account information handy.

Note: Do not place a disc into your player during registration.

What Happens When My Player Connects to Divx?

Divx sends updated information regarding mail, specials, and new features to your DVD Player.

Divx also receives updated information from the player regarding purchases and other account activity.

A connection between your player and Divx won’t interrupt any normal usage of your telephone line, nor will you incur additional charges on your telephone bill.

To register your player, highlight Divx and press OK (the registration screen appears). Call the Divx phone number that appears on your screen. The Divx representative will tell you how to register.

Do You Need a Dial Prefix?

If you must dial a prefix (such as 9), press the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight Dial Prefix on the Divx Registration screen and press OK. Use the number button on your remote that matches your dial prefix number, and press OK.

Don’t Place a Disc in the Player during Registration

The disc tray must be empty (no disc in the tray) during registration.

Helpful Hints about the Remote

Pick the Right Mode

Do you keep pressing the buttons on your remote control and nothing happens? The most common solution, according to our call center representatives, is putting the remote in the correct mode.

The Universal Remote Control packed with your player is able to operate many different components, but you have to tell the remote which component you want it to operate. If the remote is operating the TV, it’s in TV mode. If it’s operating the VCR, it’s in VCR mode, etc. So make sure you press the appropriate component button on the remote that matches the component you want the remote to operate.

Point the Remote in the Right Direction

Another tip— point the remote at the component. When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. You must make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.

A New W ay of Looking At Things

In this section you’ll learn how to use your DVD Player to play Digital Video Discs. Detailed information about Divx discs in the next section.

You’ll use the on-screen Info Display while you’re playing a disc to use the different playback features of each disc. Please remember, an Info Display option will only work if the disc was programmed to support that option when it was made. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles.

Playing

Digital

Video Discs

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 No. 1.

Section Overview:

• Loading and Playing Discs

• Using a Disc Menu

• Disc Playback Features

• Using the On-screen Info Display

Playing Digital Video Discs

Loading and Playing a Disc

Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used with this player:

• Video CDs

• Laserdiscs

• CD-I, CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM

• MiniDiscs

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

• CD-G discs (play audio only, not graphics)

To Load and Play a Disc

Make sure you’ve connected your DVD Player correctly (see “Setup and Connections”) and turned it on (press ON•OFF on the player or press the DVD button on the remote control).

1. Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the DVD Player (the disc tray opens).

2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have a label on both sides near the center).

3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button (the disc tray closes). The DVD Player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one

of three things happens depending on how the disc was “authored”—or programmed:

• The disc starts playing.

• The disc menu appears on the screen.

• The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen (press

PLAY to begin playing the disc).

Accessing the Disc Menu

Many discs skip the disc menu and start playing automatically. To access the disc menu when you’re playing a disc, press MENU on the remote.

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

4. Press STOP to stop playback.

Resume Feature

When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the DVD Player picks up where you left off (unless the disc is removed or the player is unplugged).

If you press the STOP button twice accidentally, the resume feature won’t work.

A disc is capable of having a menu—its own on-screen menu system is separate from the player’s menu system. The disc menu 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 should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

1. While the disc is playing, press MENU (the disc menu appears).

2. Press the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the section of the disc menu you want to choose, and press OK.

3. Press the up and down arrows to select a language, and press OK.

English is highlighted: press OK to play the disc with English dialog.

4. Press MENU to resume playback.

Default Settings

Any settings you change on the disc menu only override the settings in the DVD Player’s menu system temporarily.

Default settings are the settings that you set up in the DVD Player’s menu system. To change the default settings, see the section “Using the Features in the Menu System” on pp. 45-62.

1. While the disc is playing, press PAUSE on the remote.

2. Press the REVERSE or the FORWARD button.

Playback Features Might Not Be Available During Opening Credits

Playback features, such as fast forward, might not work during the opening credits and warning information that appear on the screen at the beginning of a movie because of the way the movie on the disc is formatted.

Playback features are disc-dependent, and may not work with all discs.

Slow Motion Backward

Scanning backward doesn’t provide as clear of a picture as searching forward. The picture may appear “jumpy.”

This is the nature of MPEG-2, which is the digital video data standard of the Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) that allows more content to fit on one disc.

Playing Digital Video Discs

Using the On-Screen Info Display

The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info Display, press INFO while a disc is playing. Use the arrow buttons to move through the different features in the Info Display. Each feature is illustrated with an icon.

Use the arrow buttons to highlight an Info Display icon. When an icon is highlighted, press OK to select it. Please remember, you can only access the Info Display when you’re playing a disc. Also, the Info Display

features are only available if the disc was created with that particular feature (i.e., if you select the Subtitle icon, you won’t be able to change the subtitle language unless the author of the disc created the disc with subtitles).

The invalid symbol appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t have any function. If one of the icons is “grayed out,” the Info Display feature isn’t available for the disc you’re playing. To make the Info

Display disappear from the screen, press INFO or CLEAR on the remote control.

Let’s Talk About Navigation

How to use your Remote to Move through the Player’s Menu System

We use the term “highlighted” repeatedly when explaining how to move through the menus.

Highlighted means that a particular item stands out from the other items on the screen. In your DVD Player’s menu system, a highlighted item appears brighter than the other options on the screen.

Here’s how you navigate:

• Use the arrow buttons (up, down, right, and left) to highlight different items in the menu system.

• Press OK to choose an item that you’ve highlighted.

• Press GO BACK on the remote to return to the previous set of menu items. (Or you can press the left arrow button to go back to the previous menu if it seems faster to you.)

• Press CLEAR to return to the main menu: the first set of menu screens.

This is called, the “Go Back” icon — when it is highlighted, press OK to return to the previous menu.

Notes:

You must make sure the remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button on the remote control) in order to move through the Player’s menu. This is a frequent solution to consumer problems, according to our Consumer Relations department.

Throughout the menu, the text at the bottom of the screen gives you instructions on how to perform a task.

Since your TV is color and this book isn’t, we’ve adjusted the appearance of the menus for better readability.

You can change the settings for all of the DVD Limits menu items: Country, Rated Titles, and Unrated Titles.

Different countries use different ratings systems. To access the list of countries, highlight Country and press OK.

Using the Features in the Menu System

Rated Titles

This part of DVD Limits lets you determine how your player will react to discs that contain movies that are rated (in the U.S.A. the Motion Pictures Association of America rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.)

You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t. This system ranks the ratings 1 through 8 in order to accommodate different countries’ ratings systems (1 is considered a movie title with the least offensive material).

1. Highlight DVD Limits within the Lock menu, and press OK.

2. Press the arrow right and arrow down buttons to highlight Rated Titles and press OK (the 8-level grid with rating limits appears).

3. To change the rating limit, press the arrow up or arrow down button.

• The ratings that don’t require a password (free access) appear in the green part of the block.

• The ratings that require a password appear in the red part of the block.

Some titles (movies) are rated and some are not rated. To set the rating limit for rated movies, highlight Rated Titles and press OK. Use the up and down arrow keys to the rating level.

4. Press OK (the rating limit appears next to the Rated Titles path menu).

5. Press CLEAR to return to the main menu or press GO BACK to return to the previous menu screen.

Example: If you set PG as the highest rating for Free Access (green), then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (that’s the player’s number for PG in its 8-level system) and PG for the movie studios rating. This means when the player is locked, it will require you to enter the password to play any discs that are rated higher than PG (i.e., PG13 or R).

Note: If the Rating Limit Feature Doesn’t Work

In order for the Rating level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with the proper rating information. If the author of the disc did not encode rating information, then this feature will not work for that disc.

The DVD Player must be locked in order for it to enforce the settings in the DVD Limits part of the Lock menu.

What if a movie’s rating exceeds the player’s rating limit?

The player alerts you when you try to play a movie with a rating that exceeds the limit you’ve set.

Some discs are authored with a rating override feature included. When you play a disc with this feature, the message, Override Limit or Cancel Selection appears on the screen. If you choose to override the rating limit, you will need to enter your password to begin playback.

Using the Features in the Menu System

Unrated Titles:

Some Titles (movies) aren’t rated. You decide how you want the DVD Limits feature of your player to handle these discs: free access or

password required. To choose the Unrated Titles options:

Programming the Remote

The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote controllable TVs, VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The remote is already programmed to control most RCA, PROSCAN, and GE TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers.

Testing the remote

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 VCR1 button. Then press POWER or CH ^ (channel up) or CH v (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the remote

There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code search and direct entry.

Using 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.

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

2. Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, 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.

3. 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.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

Red light

You’ll use these buttons when you program the remote to operate a component. The remote may not operate all models of all brands.

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the red light on the remote turns off.

1. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3. Point the DVD Player’s remote at the component.

4. Press and hold the component button on the remote you want to program.

5. Enter the code from the Remote Control code list (pp. 86-87).

6. Release the component button, and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

To operate another component after you’ve programmed the remote control:

Reference

1. Press the appropriate component button (TV, VCR1, VCR2, DVD, AUX or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to control the component.

2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Modes of Operation

Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example if you want the remote to control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could control the TV.

Note:

This remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.

This Is Important!

You must continue pressing the component button while you enter the code.

Let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the remote to operate the TV you would:

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 second code instead of the first.

Reference FCC Registration Information

Your DVD Player is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15B and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company/REN Number

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating among other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.

Notes: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are

on a party line. Check with your local telephone company. Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your equipment from your line.

2. Rights of the Telephone Company/telephone network information

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service

Industry Canada Information

NOTICE: the Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
