16 SYSTEM SETUP

The final step of the installation is to establish
the system’s defaults. It is helpful to take a few
minutes to familiarize yourself with these set-
tings, as they may require change before the first
use and later from time to time.

The first step in checking or changing the system
defaults is to access the Setup Menu. First, make
certain that the DVD 25 is properly connected to
a video display, and that power is connected. For
this process, however, you do not need to load
any discs into the unit.

During STOP, PAUSE or PLAY mode, if you press
SETUP on the remote, the Set Up Menu appears on
the screen.

This Main Menu and all menus in the following
may look different, listing the settings with different
languages, depending on the settings made
already. With the factory default setting all lan-
guages are set to ”English”, that´s why with all
menus the English version is shown in the manual.

Navigating Menus
The ARROW (

KLN M ) and ENTER buttons

are used to navigate the menus and select specif-
ic settings. Use the ARROW (

KL) buttons to

move the cursor to highlight the desired sub-
menu, then press ARROW (

N) button or ENTER

to enter the highlighted menu or choose the
highlighted content. The current setting is high-
lighted. If you wish to change this setting, use the
ARROW (

KL) buttons to select a new setting

and press ENTER. Press ARROW (

M ) button to

return to the left sub-menus column. Press PLAY
or SETUP to exit the Setup menu. Any new set-
tings that you have selected will be activated
immediately, except for TV Aspect which will be
activated after the player exits the Setup Menu.

After you press SETUP on the remote to enter the
Main menu, three sub-menus are shown: VIDEO,
AUDIO and PLAYER. You may press ARROW (

M )

or select EXIT with the ARROW buttons and press
ENTER at any time to leave the Main Menu.

You may at any time restore all original factory
default settings. When the player is in Standby,
press and hold CLEAR for six seconds. This will
restore all default settings and any changes you
have made will be lost.

When you enter the Main Menu, the Video sub-
menu will be highlighted. If not, use the ARROW
(

KL) buttons to highlight the Video menu,

then press the ARROW (

N) or ENTER button to

access the Video Menu. The left column shows
the items in the Video Menu. The right column
shows the current setting for each item.

Video Output
Select VIDEO OUTPUT, if it is not already selected,
then press ARROW (

N) or ENTER to access the

VIDEO OUTPUT sub-menu. The right column dis-
plays the current setting (highlighted) and two
options.

DVD 25 provides multiple output connectors for
various video devices, but to optimize video quali-
ty, all of the connectors cannot work at same
time. Make sure that the player’s settings match
the connections available on your TV. If you set
Video Output to SCART, the player will provide
RGB and Composite Video via the SCART socket.
To use the SCART output, you must set the Video
Output to SCART. If you select YCrCb component,
the player will provide component video via the
rear panel connectors. If you select S-Video, the
player will provide S-Video output via the rear 
S-Video socket. Note that only the rear video out-
puts corresponding to the selected setting will be
activated.

The default setting is SCART RGB and Composite.
The two other outputs can be enabled, but only
one of the three can be active. When SCART RGB
is selected, also the  component outputs will out-
put RGB. This can be used along with the com-
posite output for convenient connection to a pro-
jector or other display device with RGB input.

Note: If ”Progressive” is selected as SCAN TYPE,
the Video Output Setting option will change from
YCrCB to YPrPb.

Select SCART VIDEO with the ARROW (

KL)

buttons, if it is not already selected, then press
ARROW (

N) or ENTER to access the SCART

VIDEO sub-menu. The right column displays the
current setting (highlighted) and one option.

Note: If the VIDEO OUTPUT is not set to SCART,
the SCART Video sub-menu cannot be accessed.

The DVD 25 SCART connector can output RGB or
Composite video. If your TV can accept an RGB
input signal, RGB output is recommended for
superior picture quality. Otherwise, select the
composite video setting.

Control signals in the SCART connection will
automatically  reconfigure the TV's SCART input
to match the selection of RGB or composite, if the
TV is capable of running RGB.

Note: If you use RGB via SCART, then your TV
will be able to reproduce NTSC images, even if
the TV is PAL-only.

Note: If the Video Output is set to SCART, the
SCAN TYPE sub-menu cannot be accessed, then
scan type is fixed as interlaced. Progressive scan
is only available if the Video output is set to
YCrCb (YPrPb) or S-VIDEO (if set to S-VIDEO the
YCrCb output will be selected automatically then)
and with an NTSC signal via the component out-
puts.

IMPORTANT: Before you select Progressive
mode, you must make sure that your TV or pro-
jector can accept a progressive signal. If it can-
not, always select Interlaced. If the player is set to
Progressive, but connected to a display device
that cannot process a progressive signal, there
will be nothing on the TV screen. If this happens,
you can restore the player to Interlaced mode:
Press STOP on the remote and hold it down for
more than 3 seconds. The player will revert to
Interlaced mode and a picture should appear on
the screen.
