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
settings, as they may require change before the
first use and later from time to time.

General Functionality of the 
OSD Menu
The complete setup and control of the HS 100
takes place in an advanced user-guided On
Screen Display (OSD) menu system. The OSD can
be activated by pressing the OSD button 

8 on

the remote control. Pressing this button again
de-activates the OSD.

The main menu consists of a PLAYER Menu,
RADIO Menu, TV Menu, AUX Menu, DIGITAL
Menu and a SET-UP Menu. The PLAYER Menu
will show all information and options available
for the disc currently playing. The RADIO Menu
will show radio and RDS options. The TV, AUX
and DIGITAL Menus show the surround options
for these specific audio inputs. The SET-UP Menu
will help you configure all audio and video
settings which are normally only made once.

Each Main Menu contains Submenus. These
submenus are shown as icons on the left side of
the menu. They can be highlighted by a white
square around the icon by moving the cursor
with the ARROW 

9 buttons. Icons can be

activated by pressing ENTER 

6 when an icon is

highlighted. When ENTER 

6 has been pressed,

the color of the icon will change to dark blue and
you will see that the current settings of this
submenu will appear on the right side of the
menu. Although each Menu has various
Submenus and Settings, they are all navigated in
the same way. All submenus, settings and
options can be accessed with the help of the
ARROW (

KLNM

9) and ENTER 6 buttons

on the remote control.

To change a setting, simply move the cursor to
the setting you wish to change. This setting will
be highlighted in light blue, and a brief explana-
tion will appear in the Upper Menu Line on the
bottom of your screen, together with the
available options for this setting on the Lower
Menu Line. Move the ARROW 

M

/ 

N

9 buttons

to the requested option for this setting. Press
ENTER 

6 to activate the new setting.

The first step in checking or changing the system
defaults is to access the Setup Menu. First, make
certain that the HS Controller is properly connec-
ted to a video display, and that power is
connected. For this process, however, you do not
need to load a disc into the unit.

During STOP, PAUSE or PLAY mode, if you press
OSD on the remote, the Main Menu appears on
the screen.

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

In the SET-UP Menu you will find submenus for
making or changing all settings and adjustments
for both Audio and Video handling of your 
HS 100.

To access the SET-UP Menu, press the OSD
button 

8, and move the cursor to the right

until SET-UP is highlighted. Press ENTER 

6 to

activate the SYSTEM Settings:

The System Setting Submenu contains the
following settings. Follow the explanations in the
Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen
to change the settings.

Display Language: Sets the language in which
the OSD menus are shown on your screen.

Preferred Subtitle Language: Defines your
preferred subtitle language. Every time a disc
contains this subtitle language, it will be shown
automatically. If you do not find your preferred
language in the list of options, you can select
your preferred language by typing a 4-digit code
found in the code list on page 21. You can also
set the preferred subtitle language to OFF. In that
case no subtitles will be shown.

Panel Time-Out: Sets the time-out interval for
the Front Panel Information Display. After the
selected time, the display will dim completely.

Status Bar Time-Out: Sets the time-out
interval for the Status Bar, after which the Status
Bar will disappear from the screen.

control viewing of restricted programs. The
default password is 8888. After pressing the
default password, either the parental control
setting can be chosen, or a new password. The
five standard US rating symbols are ”G”
(General, level 1), ”PG” (Parental Guidance, level
3), ”PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old,
level 4), ”R” (Restricted, level 6) and ”NC 17”
(from 17 years old, level 7). The DVD will
accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as set
by the DVD creators. These additional steps allow
for more critical control of program playback for
all audiences. Level 8: All DVDs can be played.
Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/
children can be played. Level 1: DVDs for children
can be played; DVDs for adults/general audiences
are prohibited. Follow the explanations on the

Disc Setting Memory: When set to on, the
next time a disc is inserted, I will show a “Disc
Recognized” message, with the question if you
would like to play the disc from the beginning or
would like to resume from where you last
stopped the disc. The memory can contain infor-
mation of the last 100 discs played.

PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control)
Support for VCD discs.

Screen Save: Activates a Screen Saver to
prevent image “burn” in a video display device. If
you connect the HS Controller to a LCD or
plasma screen or video projector, we recommend
you activate the screen saver at all times.

Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the
Angle Icon will appear on the screen when there
are different angles available on a DVD disc.

The Audio Setting Submenu contains the
following settings. Follow the explanations in the
Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen
to change the settings.

Preferred Audio Language: Defines your
preferred audio language. Every time a disc is
played that contains this audio language, it will
be activated automatically. If you do not find
your preferred language in the list of options, you
can select your preferred language by typing a 
4-digit code found in the code list on page 21.
