TV system selection

The 752BD can be set to output all video as PAL or NTSC or output
the video in the same format it was recorded in (Multi). Some TVs only
support PAL or NTSC and not both so forcing the output type to one or
the other can be useful.
Press the TV Type button on the remote control to cycle the video output
to PAL, NTSC or Multi system. The TV screen displays the selected
" "
system name.
Some points to keep in mind:
• When the video output is set to PAL or NTSC, the player will convert the
disc content if different to the selected system.
• When the video output is set to Multi
"
conversion and will output the video in its native format on the disc. The
Multi mode should only be used if your TV supports both NTSC and PAL
" "
systems.
• Some TV sets only support one of the PAL or NTSC systems. If the
wrong output is selected, the TV may not display a picture. In this case
keep pressing the TV Type button until a supported system is selected.
• The output system selected with the TV Type button will be remembered
when the player is turned off. The output system selection can also be
done by setting the TV System
"
the player's Setup Menu.

Viewing pictures on DVD-Audio discs

Some DVD-Audio discs contain static pictures, such as photos of the
band or narration of the album. When a DVD-Audio track is playing, you
may use the Page  and Page  buttons to select the picture.
Note: Availability of static pictures depends on the DVD-Audio disc.

Pure Audio mode

You can enjoy higher quality audio by turning off the video processing
and front panel display. The Pure Audio mode reduces any potential
interference between the video and audio signals.
1. Press the Pure Audio button on the remote control to turn off video and
enter Pure Audio mode. Video output will be turned off.
2. Press the Pure Audio button again to resume video and cancel Pure
Audio mode.
Note:
• Pure Audio mode is automatically cancelled when the unit is switched
off or when playback is stopped.
• Since HDMI carries audio together with video, the HDMI output cannot
be completely turned off. A black screen (inactive video but sync is still
present) is transmitted instead to minimize any potential interference.

Media playback from USB Devices

As well as normal CD's, SACD's, DVD's and BD's the 752BD can play
some music, movies and photo files either from optical datadiscs (such
as CD-R, DVD-R etc.) or external memory such as USB flash-drives/
thumb-drives or hard-drives.

Connecting a USB Drive

The 752BD is equipped with three USB 2.0 ports, one on the front of the
unit and two on the back. You may use any USB port to plug in a USB
drive loaded with digital music, movies and photo files.
The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 1A power to the
attached device. This is usually sufficient to bus power (i.e. self power)
USB flash drives and flash memory card readers, but may not be
sufficient for all USB hard disks.
Note:
• This unit supports Mass Storage Class Bulk Transport devices only.
Most USB thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives and card readers
conform to this device class. Other devices such as MP3 players,
digital cameras, and mobile phones that include their own memory
management may not be compatible.
• Supported USB drives must be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation
Table), FAT32 or NTFS (New Technology File System) file system.
• In some cases, an incompatible device may cause the player to stop
responding. If this occurs simply turn off the power, remove the device,
and turn the player back on.
• The player accesses the USB drive in read-only mode. In order to
minimize the risk of data corruption, it is recommended that you only
unplug the USB device when playback has completely stopped.

Network Media Playback

The 752BD can remotely Playback music, photos, and video files stored
on media devices that are connected to the same home net work. Set
the My Network selection to On in the Setup Menu. Press the
on the remote to bring up the Home Menu, select the Network icon
and press Enter button to show the list of available servers and shared
folders. In some cases, you might need to disable your firewall to allow
the 752BD to see your devices.
The 752BD can perform Network Playback in one of the following three
ways:
• As a digital media player (DMP): the 752BD can actively search, access
and pull content from media servers on you network.
• As a digital media renderer (DMR): the 752BD plays content received
('pushed')from a digital media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable UPNP/
DNLA media server is required. Plus the control APP you wish to use
which must be connected to the same network as the server and
752BD. Refer to the server and APPs respective user instructions for
correct configuration and operation.
• Accessing a SMB/CIFS client: the player can directly access files
shared by computers through SMB/CIFS clients over the network, as
if accessing a local USB hard drive. Most computers especially those
installed with Windows, already have an SMB client embedded. Please
refer to your respective OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS shared
file/folder.
Note:
• A NAS is a network attached storage device that provides file-based
data storage services to other devices on the network. Commercial
products are available that often incorporate a UPnP/DNLA Server.
• SMB (Server Message Block) or Cifs (Common Internet File System) is
mostly known as the folder sharing method of Microsoft Windows. It
does not require an extra media server or perform any media format
transcoding.
• Compatibility with local network sharing hardware/software is on a
best effort basis with no guarantee, due to variations in NAS devices,
media servers and their configurations
