Remote Control Operation

The DVD 5's remote control contains all of the
codes needed to operate the product. In addi-
tion, it offers a built-in backlight that may be
used to identify the remote buttons when the
remote is used in low-level lighting conditions.
A guide to the operation of the remote's func-
tions is found in this manual on page 9.
Batteries
Before using the remote, install the AA batteries
provided with the product by turning the
remote over and moving the small latch on the
bottom in the direction of the arrow. After the
latch is loosened, flip the cover up and then
remove it. Install the two batteries as shown
here, being careful to observe the "+" and "–"
polarity indications for proper placement of the
batteries in their compartment. Replace the
battery cover by first sliding the two teeth on
the cover into their matching slots towards the
top of the remote. Then, gently press down on
the cover until the latch firmly snaps into place.
The remote is now ready for operation.
NOTE: When replacing batteries, it always a
good idea to replace both at the same time.
When the remote will not be used for an
extended period of time, it is also a good idea
to remove the batteries to avoid the possibility
of damage due to corrosion. Batteries contain
chemical substances and we recommend that
you dispose of them properly and in compliance
with any local regulations.

Notes on Batteries for the DVD 5 Remote
The batteries normally last for about one
year although this depends on how often,
and for what operations, the remote control
is used.
If the backlight does not illuminate, or if the
remote control unit fails to work even when
it is operated near the player, replace the
batteries. When replacing the batteries, do
not mix old and new batteries; always
change both cells at the same time.
Always dispose of used batteries in an envi-
ronmentally safe manner and in compliance
with any local regulations.
Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries
and do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit
or disassemble the batteries.
If the remote control unit is not going to be
used for an extended period of time, remove
the batteries. Otherwise, electrolyte may leak
which may lead to malfunctions as well as
damage to the remote, which is not covered
by the warranty.
Should any electrolyte leak from the batter-
ies inside the remote control unit, wipe it
away but avoid any contact. If any elec-
trolyte should come into contact with your
skin, wash it off thoroughly with water.

System Defaults
The final step of the installation is to establish
the system's defaults. The factory settings for
the unit will accommodate most requirements,
so it is not essential that they be changed. If
you wish to immediately play a disc, proceed to
page 21. However, it is helpful to take a few
minutes to familiarize yourself with these set-
tings, as they may require change from time
to time.
Before using the DVD 5 for the first time, make
certain that the unit is properly connected to
any audio/video components it will be used
with, as described on the previous pages. When
the installation is done, make certain that the
batteries are properly installed in the remote
and that the unit is plugged into an AC power
source.
The first step in checking or changing the sys-
tem defaults is to access the Setup Menu. First,
make certain that the DVD 5 is properly con-
nected to a video display, and that power is
connected. For this process, however, you do
not need to load any discs into the unit.
To turn the DVD 5 on, press the Main Power
Switch 1 in until it latches almost flush with
the unit's front panel. Note that the Status
Indicator 3 will turn amber. Next, press the
Standby Switch 2/b. The Status
Indicator 3 will turn green and the
Information Display $ will light up.
To access the Setup Menu, press the Menu
Button ` on the remote. The Setup Menu
will appear on the video display screen as
shown in Figure 1. The left side of the screen
will show the various options, and the box
on the right side of the screen will show the
current defaults.
