HOW TO GET STARTED
“Burn In”
A significant ”burn-in” period is required before the unit
will reach its maximum sonic/picture potential. We
recommend the unit be left on (or in standby mode) at
all times, especially during the first 5-6 weeks of
operation, in order to speed the ”burn-in” process.
For best results, the player should be left on or in the
standby mode at all times. The unit should not be
switched off by the main switch unless the unit will not
be used for a significant period of time (during
vacations, etc.).
This chapter provides a quick overview of how to
connect the player and how to start playing discs. More
detailed explanations of all the various functions are
explained in the following chapters.
Power connection
WARNING: Before connecting power check that the
required supply voltage, indicated on the back panel,
corresponds to your local AC supply. If a different
voltage is stated on the type plate do not connect the
DVD to the mains power, and seek advice from your
dealer. Connect the mains power using the enclosed
mains cable. NOTE: Always disconnect the DVD from
the mains power before connecting or disconnecting
any of the cables.
Playing discs
The basic playback controls for playing different discs
are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the
remote control chapter.
• Switch the player on by pressing the
STANDBY button once on the player or the
POWER button on the remote control.
• Press DRAWER to open the disc tray.
• Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up, using
the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re
loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with
the side you want to play face down).
• Press DRAWER to close the drawer.
On the remote, press PLAY to close the
drawer and start playing.
• Press PLAY to start playing the disc.
Alternatively, press PLAY to start playback
directly.
• To stop playback, press STOP on the player or
on the remote control.
• To remove the disc, press DRAWER on the
player. Ift out the disc and put it back it in its
packaging.
Please Note
DVDs behave differently than CD or SACD discs when
engaging PLAY.
The different formats handled by this
player
CD
Playback of normal audio CD’s, CD-R and CD-RW is
carried out the same way as with ordinary CD players.
SACD
The player automatically chooses the SACD layer on
the disc. Playback of a SACD works the same way a
normal CD.
Some SACD have both a multichannel and a two
channel mix on the disc. In these cases the player
automatically chooses the two channel mix.
DVD-A
Start playing a DVD
When a DVD is inserted
Groups
DVD-A discs have several groups of different sound
formats. Normally Group #1 is a multichannel mix and
group #2 is two channel audio, this is depending on
how the disc is authored and may vary between
different discs..
For optimal audio performance on this player you
should play the two channel mix. You access this
group by skipping through the tracks until the right
group number is shown in the display. This is the
number that precedes track number in the display.
