MAKING CONNECTIONS/SETTING UP THE PLAYER 5 5 Setting Up the Player Setting the TV System (except for DV-533K Taiwanese model and DV-440) The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region's system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC). Type Disc Format DVD NTSC PAL Video CD NTSC PAL NTSC Super VCD PAL CD, No disc Output format Position of TV SYSTEM mode NTSC PAL AUTO NTSC MOD.PAL PAL NTSC PAL NTSC NTSC NTSC MOD.PAL PAL MOD.PAL PAL NTSC PAL NTSC PAL NTSC PAL NTSC or PAL STANDBY/ON DV-533K ¡¢ STANDBY/ON MIC VOLUME ECHO MIN-MAX MIN-MAX 41 ¡¢ 0 7 8 Î 3 DVD PLAYER 1 Switch the player into standby. 2 Hold down ¡¢ then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system. The TV system changes as follows: AUTO = NTSC NTSC = PAL PAL = AUTO The display indicates the new setting. Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each change. About MOD. (Modulation) PAL • SHRINK Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. • If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion. Using the Setup Navigator The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs. The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages. When setting up for the first time Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding. 1 2 3 OPEN/ LAST CONDITION CLOSE MEMORY MEMORY AUDIO SUB TITLE ANGLE REPEAT SETUP REPEAT MENU TOP MENU A-B DISPLAY RETURN ¶ 5 ¶ ENTER 2 3 PREV 4 ¶ ∞ 5 NEXT ¢ ¶ STOP 7 PLAY 3 ¶ PAUSE 8 eSTEP/SLOWE 1REV FWD ¡ 1 2 3 CLEAR 4 5 6 +10 ¶ 7 8 9 0 RANDOM PROGRAM SEARCH MODE Î 4 1 DV-533K STANDBY/ON MIC VOLUME ECHO MIN-MAX MIN-MAX 41 ¡¢ 0 7 8 Î 3 DVD PLAYER 17 En
