Disc formats
DVD-Rs/RWs in DVD-Video format and CD-Rs/CD-RWs in CD-DA and MP3 format can
be played. Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the
recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD or CD cannot be read.
This does not indicate a malfunction of the player.
Software information
We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorized by GRUNDIG is
permissible for the DVD player. You can obtain this software from your dealer, or in the
near future from the Grundig Websites www.grundig.com or www.grundig.de. Any
instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded into the device
will impair functioning and also, due to unauthorized intervention, invalidate any claims
under the guarantee. As a rule, GRUNDIG declines to refund any costs resulting in such
cases. Any repair costs thus due, even those occurring within the guarantee period, are to
be paid by the customer.

Please note the following points when setting up the DVD player:
This DVD player set is designed to play video and audio signals from compact
discs (DVD and CD).
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD player is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example if
brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let
it stand for at least two hours before you insert a DVD.
The DVD player is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,
please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.
Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as
newspapers on the DVD player or any cloth or similar articles underneath it.
Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the air vents or the disc compartment.
Never open the DVD player casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the DVD player, as they may spill
liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD player is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.
If the DVD player is unable to scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a standard com-
mercial cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the
laser optics.
This DVD player is designed to the highest technological and environmental
standards. Only ecologically compatible, high quality materials have been
used. The batteries included are free of mercury and cadmium.
The range of materials used has been deliberately restricted and all the larger
plastic parts have been labelled. This DVD player is easily disassembled to
make servicing easier and optimise recycling.

Connecting the television ...
... using a EURO-AV cable
1Plug the EURO-AV (Scart) cable supplied into the »EURO AV ➞TV« socket
on the DVD player and the corresponding socket (AV 2) on the television set.
... using a Y/C cable (S-VHS) and cinch cable (Audio)
1Plug a standard Y/C cable into the »S-VIDEO OUT« socket on the DVD
player and into the appropriate socket (S-VIDEO IN) on the television.
... using a cinch cable (Video)
1Plug a standard cinch AV cable into the »VIDEO OUT« sockets on the DVD
player and the appropriate sockets (VIDEO IN) on the television.
2Plug a standard cinch AV cable into the »AUDIO OUT L R« sockets on the
DVD player and the appropriate sockets (AUDIO IN) on the television.
Note:
If the DVD player is connected via the »S-VIDEO OUT« socket, you must
carry out the setting described in ”Selecting the video output socket (RGB or
S-Video)” on page 12.
With an S-VHS connection, the brightness and colour signals are processed
separately. This improves the bandwidth and picture quality.
If the DVD player is connected to a television set with a 16:9 format, observe
the settings described in the ”Selecting the screen format of the television”
section on page 12.
The colour norm of the DVD player’s screen menus has to be adapted to the
format of the television. Make sure to observe the settings described in the
”Setting the TV system” section on page 30.
For information on connecting a HiFi system with analogue two-channel ste-
reo sound, see page 11. For information on connecting a digital multi-chan-
nel amplifier or a HiFi system with digital two-channel stereo sound, see
page 34.
