This section of the document describes the use of
the ‘Set-up’ menu, which allows you to fine-tune Solo
Movie 5.1 to the other items in your system (such as
your video display, speakers and room layout), and to
configure some personal preferences.

Obtaining a picture

To view the Set-up menu for the initial configuration,
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 configuration.
Ensure that your display device is switched on and
that you have selected the correct video input. You
should see the screen shown below. This is the image
that Solo Movie 5.1 gives when there is no disc
playing.

The Display set-up menu

For optimum video performance it may be necessary
to configure your display for the video source – Solo
Movie 5.1, in this case. A series of test patterns
generated by Solo Movie 5.1 allows you to optimize
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
cursor down to the ‘Display’ button on the screen and
press

OK

. Follow the on-screen instructions and press

SeTUP

at any time to quit from a page (or press

OK

on the last screen to Exit).
