Configuring your DVD player

Introduction

This section of the document describes the use of the 'Set-up' menu, which is used to configure your
player for your system and your personal preferences.

Obtaining a picture

To view the Set-up menu for the initial configuration, we recommend the use of the
composite video output to connect to your display device. This is because the high quality
video output has several display modes and may be incompatible with your display device
in its default configuration.
Ensure that your display device is switched on and that you have selected the correct
video input. You should see the image shown on the right. This is the image that the DVD
player gives whenever there is no disc playing.
NOTE: To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent static
images, a 'screen saver' facility activates after a few minutes of inactivity.
When this occurs, the image shown on the right will be 'bounced' around the
screen. To reset the image to the central position, press the
the player or on the remote control.

Using the Set-up menus

Your DV137 has two different set-up menus:

list. (If the item to be changed is controlled by a slider, press
when the desired value has been selected.)
Note that items that are not applicable currently (for example, the Pro Logic II settings when Pro Logic II
processing is switched off) are shown 'greyed out', and cannot be highlighted or changed.
To enter the Set-up menu, press the
time to close the menu.
The Display set-up menu
For optimum video performance it is necessary to configure your display for the video source – your DVD
player, in this case. A series of test patterns generated by your DVD player will allow you to optimise
colour balance, contrast, brightness and to centre your picture. Full instructions for each test pattern are
displayed on the screen before the test pattern is shown.
To enter the Display set-up menu, move the menu highlight to the 'Display' button, then press
