menus
The Settings menus allow you to configure all aspects
of your BDP300. The next few pages will go through
the menu items and explain their function. The Settings
menus may look daunting if you are new to setting up
home cinema, but the majority of them need only be
configured once when you first install the system.
The only way to view the Settings menus is on your
display device (TV or projector) using the on-screen
display (OSD) capability of the BDP300. To view the
OSD for the initial setting up, connect any of the video
outputs to your display device (or AV receiver connected
to your display).
Entering the settings menu
The SETTINGS icon is shown on screen when the BDP300
is first switched on.
If the main menu is not currently displayed, press u
on the remote control to display it. Note that during the
playback of music, video or JPEG files, further button
presses may be required to exit the folder structure.
With the
SETTINGS icon highlighted, press O to enter
the Settings menu.
Unstable OSD menu or picture display?
The default BDP300 output video resolution when first
powered up out of the box has been chosen according to
the national standard in the country of purchase.
If the output resolution and frame rate is at a setting
your display device does not support, the picture
may become unstable or may not display at all. If this
happens, connect the BDP300 directly to your display
using the composite video connection in order to see
the menus. Once the correct video settings have been
entered, a higher-quality connection can be used.
Navigating the menus
The BDP300 menus can be navigated by using the
cursor (up, down, left, right) keys on the remote control.
1. To display the main menu, press u.
2. Use the
B and C keys to navigate up and
down the main headings in the left-hand panel.
3. With the main section you require highlighted,
use the E key to enter the middle column.
4. Use the B and C keys to navigate up and
down the options in the middle column. Some
options may be greyed out because they are not
currently selectable (e.g. network IP address when
DHCP is used).
5. Pressing E selects a setting: use the B and C
keys to change the setting.
6. Press O to confirm the setting. Go back to step 4
to adjust any other settings in the current section.
7. Press < to return to the previous screen if you
want to select another section.
