S
ystem Setup
The final step in the installation of the DVD 27 is to
establish the system’s configuration. Before proceeding
f
urther to make any adjustments, make certain that
the DVD 27 is properly connected to a video display
and an AC power source. Turn on the DVD 27 by
pressing the
Power On/Off Switch 2 and the
Power Indicator 1 will change from amber to blue.
You do not need to play a CD or DVD in the unit to
make system setup adjustments.
In many cases, you will be able to accept the default
s
ettings. Of course, these settings may be changed at
a
ny time to reflect changes to the other equipment in
your home theater system or to adjust the DVD 27’s
output or operation to your needs and preferences.
Menus and Navigation
The DVD 27 uses an elegant but simple on-screen
menu system for setup and control functions. There
are two main menus that are navigated in a similar
fashion:
• The
SETUP menu is used to establish the basic
configuration settings for all aspects of the DVD
player’s operation, including language and display
settings, audio settings, video settings and adjust-
ments, parental control and other settings that you
may customize. The
SETUP menu is accessed
by pressing the
