Connections and 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).

Note: The illustrations in this book are representational, and in some instances may not exactly match the item represented.

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 discs – These are the discs you use to download MP3 files to.

Receiver

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.

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 5.

Install Batteries in the Remote

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.

2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the remote.

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.

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.

Point the Remote in the Right Direction

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. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.

Turn on the TV and DVD Player

1. Turn on your TV and tune to the correct video input channel (see following page).

2. Press the POWER button on the DVD remote or the ON•OFF button on the DVD player.

How to Find Your TV’s Video Input Channel

You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel (or S-Video Channel if you connected the SVideo cable to your TV and to your DVD Player) to see the DVD Player’s menu and to see the content that’s on a disc. The video channel on TVs varies for different brands and different models. In order for your DVD remote to work, your TV must be set on the correct video input channel. Below are some things to try.

• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press the TV button on the remote that came with your TV (not the DVD remote). Then press the INPUT button on the remote.

• If you have another brand, consult your TV’s Owner’s Manual.

If those options don’t work, try one of the following options.

• Press a button on the TV remote (see table below).

• Select it from the TV’s menu system.

• Tune directly to the DVD input channel by pressing a specific number (see table below).

• Go through all the channels in the channel list by pressing the channel up/down buttons on the TV.

Some common scenarios are listed in the following table:

your own by following a few “navigational rules.” Press the arrow buttons on the remote (highlighted in gray on the picture on the left) to highlight

different menu items on the screen. (In your DVD Player’s menu, a highlighted item appears brighter than the other items on the screen.) To select a menu item, press OK on the remote when the menu item is highlighted.

Component Buttons

Pick the Right Mode

The remote control packed with your player is able to operate the DVD player and the television, 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 DVD player, it’s in DVD mode. Make sure you press the component button on the remote that matches the component you want the remote to operate.

In order for the remote control to operate a television or this DVD player, you must press the appropriate button to put the remote in the correct mode.

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 ways 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.

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

playing. Press MENU on the remote to bring up the DVD player menu.

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

• Information Banners – Banners are a type of information display that appear across the top

of the screen during playback. Information banners are activated by pressing the INFO button on the remote.

Loading and Playing Discs

Your DVD player plays DVD discs and audio CD 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, DVD-ROM

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

• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

where you left off. To begin the title over, press STOP twice.

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 information banners. 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.

Note: “Default settings” are the settings that the player will default to each time it is turned on.

Any settings you change with the disc menu only temporarily override the default settings. Use the Setup Menu of the DVD player to change the default settings (See chapter 6).

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

Tip

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.

What is a Video CD?

Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high.

VCDs are divided into tracks, and each track is divided into indexes. A track is similar to a title and an index is similar to a chapter.

Loading and Playing a Video CD

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

• Laserdiscs

• CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM

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

• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

The Video CD Disc Menu

A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear after the disc is loaded into the player.

The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the instructions that accompany the Video CD for more information on how to use the playback control functions for that specific disc.

If a disc menu appears:

1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a title).

2. Press OK or PLAY on the remote to begin playback of the selected track.

3. Press SKIP+ or SKIP- on the remote to scroll through the tracks.

4. Press the MENU button on the remote to stop playback and return to the disc menu, or press STOP and MENU to stop playback and bring up the DVD player menu.

To bring up the disc menu during disc play, press the MENU button on the remote.

Setting the Rating Limit

The Ratings Limit feature is a rating limit system, sort of like movie ratings. It works with DVD discs that have been assigned a rating. This helps you control the types of DVDs that your family watches.

The Rated Titles option 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, PG13, 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).

Programming the Remote

The remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote controllable TVs. The remote is already programmed to control most RCA, PROSCAN, and GE TVs.

Testing the remote

To determine whether the remote needs to be programmed, turn the TV ON, point the remote at the TV, and press the TV button. Then press POWER or CH+ (channel up) or CH- (channel down) to see if the TV responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.

Entering Codes

To control a TV that is not from RCA, ProScan or GE, you’ll need to enter the specific codes for the brand of TV you have.

1. Turn on the TV to be programmed.

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

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

4. Press and hold the TV button on the remote.

5. Enter the code from the Remote Control code list (pp. 67).

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

Note: This remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of televisions.

Important!

You must continue pressing the TV button while you enter the code. For example, 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.
