Conguring your DVD player
Introduction
This section of the document describes the use of the ‘Set-up’ menu, which is used to congure your
player for your system and your personal preferences.
Obtaining a picture
To view the Set-up menu for the initial conguration, we recommend the use of the
composite video output to connect to your display device. This is because the high quality
video output has several display modes and may be incompatible with your display device
in its default conguration.
Ensure that your display device is switched on and that you have selected the correct
video input. You should see the image shown on the right. This is the image that the DVD
player gives whenever there is no disc playing.
NOTE: To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent static
images, a ‘screen saver’ facility activates after a few minutes of inactivity.
When this occurs, the image shown on the right will be ‘bounced’ around the
screen. To reset the image to the central position, press the STOP button on
the player or on the remote control.
Using the Set-up menus
Your DV137 has two different set-up menus:
<
The Set-up menu allows conguration of all aspects of your DVD player. Congurable items and
their potential values are described on the following pages.
<
The Display set-up menu is a series of video test patterns with instructions that will allow you to
congure your display optimally for your DVD player.
The Set-up menu
The Set-up menu comprises six pages of options. The tabs on the left side of the screen show the pages
available, indicating the nature of the items on each page. To change between pages, move the menu
highlight to the appropriate tab and press
E
.
To change an item rst use the UP/DOWN controls to highlight the item, then press OK to open the list of
options for the menu item. The current option for the menu item is indicated. The UP/DOWN controls can
be used then to select the new option and pressing OK conrms the new selection and closes the option
list. (If the item to be changed is controlled by a slider, press OK to activate the slider and OK again
when the desired value has been selected.)
Note that items that are not applicable currently (for example, the Pro Logic II settings when Pro Logic II
processing is switched off) are shown ‘greyed out’, and cannot be highlighted or changed.
To enter the Set-up menu, press the SETUP button on the remote control. Press SETUP for a second
time to close the menu.
The Display set-up menu
For optimum video performance it is necessary to congure your display for the video source – your DVD
player, in this case. A series of test patterns generated by your DVD player will allow you to optimise
colour balance, contrast, brightness and to centre your picture. Full instructions for each test pattern are
displayed on the screen before the test pattern is shown.
To enter the Display set-up menu, move the menu highlight to the ‘Display’ button, then press OK.
Press SETUP for a second time when you have nished.
