Special features of your DVD player  
Your DVD player provides you with perfect digital video playback of stu-  
dio quality.  
It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or  
with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of DVD and  
the Audio system or stereo television.  
Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and  
language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording  
angles. Your DVD player is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.  
©

Disc formats  
Your DVD player can play back CD-R, CD-RW, VCD 2,0, Super-VCD,  
DVD R, DVD RW discs.  
Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of  
the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD  
or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction of the DVD  
player.  
You have to finalise your own CD-R/RW recordings.  
Make sure the settings of your CD burning program correspond to the  
ISO 9660 standard to create a CD R or CD RW.  
©
When DivX Video or Nero Digital™ or MP3 or JPEG CDs are played  
back, individual tracks/pictures may be skipped or incorrectly played  
back/displayed. This can be due to the disc configuration, the encoder  
software or the hardware sued for the recording.  
Audio CDs (CDDA) correspond to the specification and bear the corre-  
sponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not correspond to this specifica-  
tion and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause  
playback errors.

Place the DVD player on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such  
as newspapers on the DVD player or any cloth or similar articles underneath  
it.  
Do not place the DVD player directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoo-  
fer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.  
Do not place the DVD player close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as  
this will impair cooling.

If the DVD player cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a commercially  
available cleaning-CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods  
may damage the laser optics.  
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on  
the laser optics.  
This DVD player is designed to the highest technological and environmental  
standards. Only environmentally-friendly, high-quality materials have been  
used. The batteries included contain no mercury or cadmium.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION  
Note:  
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched  
on. Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.  
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected  
the external devices.  
Connecting a television or flat screen  
You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on your  
television or flat screen:  
You get the best picture quality by making the connection at the  
EURO-AV socket using a fully assigned EURO-AV cable.  
– The standard connection for many devices, and one which provi-  
des good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the AUDIO  
OUT cinch sockets.  
– The simplest option which still offers sufficient quality is connecting  
to the video socket and the audio sockets with a cinch cable.  
Necessary adjustments to the television or the  
flat screen  
After you have made the connections at the selected output sockets,  
you must activate them. The setting procedure is described in the  
”Selecting the video output socket (EURO AV/RGB or S-video)”  
section on page 16.  
If the DVD player is connected to a television set or a flat screen with  
a 16:9 format, observe the settings described in the ”Selecting the  
television format” section on page 17.  
The colour standard of the DVD player must be matched to the  
colour standard of your television or flat screen. The setting proce-  
dure is described in the section ”Setting the TV system (TV norm)”  
on page 16.  
Connect the »EURO AV  
the flat screen, and not indirectly via a video recorder. This can  
cause difficulties when playing back copy-protected DVDs/CDs.

PLAYBACK A DVD  
DVD features  
You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the label.  
Depending on the content of the DVD, the discs contain one or more  
titles.  
Each title may contain one or more chapters. Titles and chapters  
can be selected easily and conveniently.  
You can control and direct playback of a DVD using the menu of the  
DVD player on the television screen.  
Special DVD features  
DVDs have a title menu which provides an overview of the available  
titles and the passages they contain.  
title 1  
title 2  
chapter1 chapter2 chapter3 chapter1 chapter2  
Some of the DVD players functions, such as slow motion, freeze-  
frame and auto-play, can also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is  
therefore possible that the freeze-frame function, for example, can-  
not be selected during certain scenes.  
Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages.  
This enables you to select the language you prefer.  
Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer with subtitles in sever-  
al languages. You can select subtitle superimposition from up to 32  
different languages.  
Since films are released in different parts of the world at different  
times, all DVD players world-wide are given a regional code. The  
regional code for your DVD player is 2.  
DVDs may also be given a supplementary regional code. If you ins-  
ert a DVD with a code different to that of the DVD player, a referen-  
ce to the regional code appears on the television screen. The DVD  
player will not be able to play back the DVD.  
Notes:  
If the parental lock is activated, the »D« display appears on  
the television screen.  
D
You need to switch off this lock, please refer to the chapter on  
”Locking and enabling the disc compartment of the DVD player”  
on page 36.  
If a DVD is not authorised, the coded rating of the access level  
(1 ... 8) must be changed (see the ”Authorising the content of  
the DVD” chapter on page 37).  
If the »-« symbol appears on the television screen, then the  
selected function is not possible with this DVD.

PLAYBACK S-VCD/VCD  
S-VCD/VCD features  
You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the  
label.  
Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD (films, music videos  
etc.), the discs may carry one or more tracks.  
Like audio CDs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track structure.  
S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control)  
system for track navigation. This depends on the processing and  
burning software used.  
You can control and direct playback of the S-VCD/VCD using the  
menu of the DVD player on the television screen.  
You cannot select some of the functions on the DVD player (slow  
motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when you are playing an  
S-VCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.  
Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs can have various  
subtitles and dubbed languages.  
PBC (playback control)  
PBC is a navigation option for S-VCD/VCDs. PBC information is  
burned onto the disc when it is made. PBC switches between the  
playlist structure (the menu on the S-VCD/VCD) and manual selec-  
tion by the user.  
The default setting upon delivery is PBC activated. PBC and the pro-  
gram info on the S-VCD/VCD predetermine the navigation options.  
If the disc has PBC, »PBC« appears in the display.  
If PBC is deactivated, the S-VCD/VCD behaves like a normal CD  
as regards navigation (with a track structure). The user selects  
5
6
tracks or titles using »1 … 0«, » « and » «, starts playback  
using »8«, and stops it using »7«.

PLAYBACK AUDIO/VIDEO FILES_________  
Nero DigitalTM CD features  
Nero Digital™ is the ideal solution for video and audio codecs.  
Codecs are required for processing and playing audio and video files.  
The Nero Digital™ codec allows you to save all the audio and video  
material on a DVD on a normal data CD – with no perceptible loss in  
quality.  
The audio and video codecs of Nero Digital™ are based entirely on the  
industry standard MPEG-4 Video ISO 14496-2 and MPEG-4 Audio  
High Efficiency AAC and Parametric Stereo AAC.  
Nero Digital™ files have the extension .MP4.  
Nero Digital™ files can contain a video track, up to 8 audio tracks and  
up to 32 overlay tracks (e.g. subtitles).  
To create Nero Digital™ files you need the “Nero Recode” or “Nero  
Vision Express” software. You can find out more about Nero Digital™ at  
Features of the DivX©VIDEO CD  
DivX©Video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 compression  
system, which is used to encrypt and display compressed video data.  
This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the  
DivX© format. This results in playback quality with less artefacts and  
higher compression.  
DivX©video files have the suffix .AVI. DivX©Video data are packed into  
the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3 data,  
this means:  
DivX©Video and MP3 audio form the AVI file.  
Further information on DivX©Video and how to create AVI files can be  
>
You can see the registration code in the »Disc preferences« — »DIVX  
Registration« menu on page 41.

PLAYBACK AUDIO/VIDEO FILES_________  
MP3 CD features  
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion Pic-  
ture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for compres-  
sing film data.  
The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a  
sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires approx. 10% of  
the original data quantity. The standard encoding byte rate for MP3 files  
is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the byte rate of a an MP3 file, the  
better the sound quality.  
Most MP3 files in the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160  
kbps is considered CD quality.  
MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a  
CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file hea-  
der, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the  
info menu/status display.  
MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the normal  
manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted during MP3  
playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The  
signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibili-  
ties are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps, ideal: 128 kbps).  
MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, similar to files  
within a PC.

JPEG CD features  
JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to  
compress picture files.  
JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types. Such CDs  
are known as file CDs or mixed mode CDs. For example, the CD could con-  
tain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers).  
The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is simi-  
lar to that of an MP3 CD.  
JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly  
data from digital cameras or from picture processing programs. The data  
(pictures) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.  
Features of the KODAK picture CD  
This method was developed for archiving analogue photographs.  
After they are developed, small photographs are scanned with a resolution  
of 1536 x 1024 pixel and burnt onto a CD in JPEG format.  
A KODAK picture CD can contain up to 40 pictures. In addition to the pictu-  
re files, a KODAK picture CD can also contain imaging software which ena-  
bles the user to play the CD on a PC, edit the pictures or view a slide show.

Switching the dynamic range (volume range)  
on/off  
Dolby digital soundtracks have a very large dynamic volume range,  
hence there is a great difference in volume between quiet and loud  
tones. When played at high volume this can be a fascinating expe-  
rience, which may however cause disturbance late at night.  
Simply reducing the volume does not produce pleasing results, and  
the dialogue becomes difficult to understand. In order to achieve  
the desired results, you would have to reduce the volume only for  
the louder sounds, increase the volume during quieter scenes and  
maintain the volume of the dialogue.

INFORMATION  
Troubleshooting  
Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DVD player. Impairment can also be  
caused by leads having been accidentally pulled out, damaged DVDs/CDs and worn-out batteries in  
the remote control.  
If the following measures do not bring about satisfactory results, consult an authorised dealer.  
DVD-R/RWs in DVD video format, as well as CD-Rs and CD-RWs in CD-DA and MP3 format can be  
played. Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the recording itself,  
it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a  
malfunction of the DVD player.  
Problem  
Possible cause/remedy  
DVD player does not respond to  
the remote control  
Point the remote control directly at the DVD player.  
Remove all obstacles which may interfere with the path of  
the remote control signal.  
Check or replace the remote control batteries.  
The disc tray will not open,  
Picture/sound problems  
Using the mains switch, switch the DVD player »ON/OFF«  
off and on again.  
No picture  
Check the video connection.  
Distorted image  
Make sure that there are no fingerprints on the DVD/CD,  
follow the cleaning instructions on this page.  
The DVD/CD cannot be played  
Check if the label on the DVD/CD is facing upwards.  
Clean the DVD/CD.  
Check if the DVD/CD is damaged by testing out another  
DVD/CD.  
No sound  
Check the audio connections.  
Try another playback source.  
Use an external decoder for DTS audio formats.  
No sound at the digital output  
The scanning rate was set to 96 kHz. Set the scanning rate  
to 48 kHz as described on page 38.  
Distorted sound from the HiFi system Ensure that the audio connections have not been connected  
to the phono input on the amplifier.  
Cleaning discs  
Wipe the dirty disc with a cloth from the centre outwards in a straight line.  
Do not use any solvents such as benzene, thinners, conventional cleaner or anti-static spray for vinyl  
records.  
Software information  
We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorised by GRUNDIG is permissible for  
the DVD player. This operating software is available from specialist dealers or will be available short-  
ware from a dubious Internet source being loaded to the device will impair functioning and also, since  
it is an unauthorised intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee.  
GRUNDIG will refuse to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs in such cases, even  
those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.

INFORMATION  
Additional Information for units sold in the UK.  
Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains  
supply.  
The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European coun-  
tries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from  
many European countries.  
This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved  
converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated  
fuse.  
In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only,  
which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately  
disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a  
qualified electrician.  
Note:  
The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock  
hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.  
If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is  
used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any  
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the  
plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective,  
ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock  
hazard.  
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct  
type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the  
fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and  
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse  
covers should be obtained from your dealer.  
Important:  
The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the follo-  
wing code:  
BLUE – NEUTRAL  
BROWN – LIVE  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not cor-  
respond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, pro-  
ceed as follows:  
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter “N”  
or coloured black.  
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the let-  
ter “L” or coloured red.  
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal mar-  
ked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “z”, coloured green, or green &  
yellow.
