Page 6: Regional Coding
...regional coding Regional coding has been defined by the developers of the DVD standard (the licensors) to protect the sequential patterns of distribution for the motion picture producers’ copyrighted works. In line with these copy protection laws, your DVD32FLR has been configured for one of six regions (1 to 6), dependent upon the country of destination. -

stop key If a disc is playing (and not in the DVD disc menu), stop will stop the disc, allowing you to resume from exactly the same position when you press play. Pressing stop a second time will clear the resume buffer, meaning play will now start the DVD/CD from its beginning. In the DVD disc menu, stop becomes cursor down, unless it is held for more than one second. -

TAGtronic Communications Bus is connected If you have connected the TAGtronic Communications Bus between the DVD32FLR and the TAG McLaren av processor AV32R, and the AV32R is configured to synchronise the DVD32FLR’s front display brightness to the AV32R’s, then your manual setting will be overridden whenever the AV32R changes its front display brightness. -

Press pause again or play to resume playing from the place at which it paused. stop This key will act differently depending on the context in which it is used. If you press stop with a disc playing , the disc will stop, storing the current disc position so that you can continue at a later stage from the same position. - Page 13 single frame display in slow direct entr y whilst playing a disc motion mode The number keys on the Remote can be Pressing skip + / - causes the DVD to skip used to jump directly to a specific chapter forwards, or backwards, by one frame (if (track) on the disc.

Page 16: Test Patterns
test patterns The DVD32FLR has a in-built test pattern generator to assist you in adjusting your picture, PAL or NTSC, for best performance. Many display devices are wrongly adjusted when leaving the factory because they need to overcome the bright lighting in the show rooms from which they are usually selected. However, once installed at home, the viewing conditions vary considerably from those in the show rooms, hence display devices need re-calibrating. - Page 17 pluge 1 The PLUGE 1 signal will look like this with black level (brightness) set too high. black PLUGE dark grey Turn the brightness up until you can clearly see the PLUGE bar. Then turn the brightness down slowly until the PLUGE bar just disappears in the dark background brightness down too much, you should always see the grey bar to the right of the PLUGE 1.

Page 19: Aspect Ratio
aspect ratio These test patterns output a cross hatch of white lines on a black background, including several perfect circles. If the geometry of your display device or the output format of the DVD32FLR aren’t correctly set these circles will look distorted. Make sure your display device is switched to the correct aspect ratio and you have set the DVD32FLR correctly (see setup- >change set up->video->aspect ratio) On a 4:3 standard tv the cross hatches 4:3 and 16:9 letterbox should look undistorted. - Page 20 progressive scan module PSM192 Your DVD32FLR may optionally be fitted with a video processing board, the Progressive Scan Module PSM192. PSM192 generates analog and digital progressively scanned video outputs from interlaced video inputs - that applies to the video signal from DVDs played by the DVD32FLR, of course, but the PSM192 also has external inputs to allow progressively scanned video output to be generated from...
