Confi guring your DVD player

Introduction

Congratulations – if you have followed the installation
instructions then the required connections to other equipment
will have been made. It is now essential to go through an
initial set up procedure to ensure the DVD player is confi gured
correctly for use.

Switching the power on

Press in the POWER button on the front panel. The power LED
above the switch lights green.

Obtaining a TV picture

Ensure the TV is switched on and that you have selected the
correct TV input. You should see the following image. This is
the image that the DVD player gives whenever there is no movie
playing.

To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent
static images, a ‘screen saver’ facility moves the Arcam and
DVD logos around the screen after a certain delay.

Using the setup menus

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to
fi t the two AAA batteries in the remote handset, taking care to
get them the correct way round. Select ‘DVD’ using the CD/DVD
button on the remote control.

Ensure that no disc is playing and press

SETUP

on the remote

control: a menu appears on the TV screen.

The ‘Setup’ menu is arranged into three pages. The top line
of each shows the current page. To make a change, use
the

UP/DOWN

controls to highlight the item, then use the

LEFT/RIGHT

controls to change the setting.

To change page, highlight the page bar at the top of the screen
and use the

LEFT/RIGHT

controls to move through the pages.

In the ‘Setup’ menu, the

LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN

controls ‘wrap

around’, so that with the highlight bar at the bottom of the
screen, pressing

DOWN

takes the bar to the top of the screen.

have your preferred language as a subtitle.

Password
The password setting works in conjunction with the rating
setting (the next menu item), to provide a means of limiting
content playback by children (parental control).

You will see there are four dashes and a padlock symbol.
Normally the padlock symbol will be open and this means the
parental control is unlocked. Under this condition the rating
setting may be freely changed.

To lock the parental control, choose a suitable four digit number.
Don’t forget your password as you will need to know it to unlock
the player. Highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number
using the numerical keys on the handset.

When all four digits have been entered, press OK on the
handset. The player is now locked and you will not be able to
change the rating setting.

To unlock the parental control, highlight ‘Password’ and enter
your four digit number, followed by

OK

.

NOTE: You can change the password any time you lock the
player.
