The DVD 25 is a multipurpose DVD player that delivers the highest level of playback quality from a wide range of optical media formats. Along with conventional DVD and CD audio discs, the DVD 25 is also compatible with CD-R and CD-RW discs, VCD discs and discs recorded with audio files in the MP3 format. [. . . ] Some prefer a little colder picture, some a warmer glow. The Tint function on your TV and the white bar can be used to control this. Adjust the Tint to the level where you feel the white color has the tone you prefer. Test Screen To utilize the built-in test screen, press the Test Button 6 on the remote. If a disc is playing when the button is pressed, the playback will be paused in the Resume mode so that you may return to the same spot in the program when your adjustments are complete. When the button is pressed the test screen will appear, allowing the following adjustments to be made: · The proper color intensity setting on your TV. · Proper color adjustments using the color bars, which should be (left to right) black, white, yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta, red, blue, black. · The proper color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars. · The performance of the color filter in your TV (with "Video" signals); bar edges should show no vertical crawling dots. With the gray scale and the black/white fields below the color bars, the brightness and contrast of your screen can be adjusted. Color Bars Gray Scale 100% Black/White Fields TEST SCREEN 21 PLAYBACK BASICS FOR ALL FORMATS Loading Discs To load discs in the DVD 25, first turn the DVD 25 on by pressing in the Main Power On/Off Switch 0 and then pressing the Power On Button 2 0. Note that the LED indicator surrounding the Power On Button 2 will turn amber when the power is first applied by pressing in the Main Power On/Off Switch 0. It will turn green when the Power On Button 2 is pressed. Once the Main Power On/Off Switch 0 is turned on, it is normally left in that position unless you wish to turn the unit completely off so that the remote control will not be able to turn the player on. Next, press the Eject Button 7/2 until the disc tray opens. Hold the disc by the edge, and gently place it into the disc drawer, making certain that the disc is properly seated in the tray's insert. If the disc is not correctly centered you may damage both the disc and the player when the drawer closes. When loading discs, please note the following: · The DVD 25 will play discs with the following logos as well as most DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs. DO NOT attempt to play another type of disc. · When loading CD audio discs, load the discs with the label side up. · When loading DVD discs with printed labels, load them label side up. · Some DVD discs are double-sided. The title information for these will be printed on the inner ring of the disc, very close to the center hole. The title for the side you wish to play should be facing up. [. . . ] · Check AC power plug and make certain any switched outlet is turned on. · Load disc label-side up; align the disc with the guides and place it in its proper position. · Check to see that disc is CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, MP3-CD, DVD-R and DVD-RW (standard conforming) or DVD-Movie; other types will not play. · Enter password to override or change rating settings (see page 19).
