INSTALLATION IMPORTANT NOTE: All components, including the BDP 10, should be turned off and unplugged from AC power before beginning installation. Do not plug any components back in until after all connections are completed. Other system components, especially audio/video receivers and amplifiers, generate massive amounts of heat that will damage the sensitive laser components of the BDP 10.
INSTALLATION Step Eight – Insert Batteries in Remote The BDP 10 remote control uses two AA batteries (included). To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, lift the tab until the latch releases, and lift the battery cover up. Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 9, observing the correct polarity.
INITIAL SETUP IMPORTANT NOTE: When the HDMI Output is used, turn on the system components in this order: the video display (TV) first, any receiver or processor, and the BDP 10 last. Turn on the Master Power Switch, placing the BDP 10 in Standby mode. See Figure 10. Figure 10 – Master Power Switch The Power Indicator will turn amber. Press the Power Button on either the front panel or the remote to turn on the BDP 10. See Figure 11.
INITIAL SETUP Screen Saver: Turn this setting on to prevent permanent “burn-in” damage to a plasma or CRT video display when the same still image is left on screen for more than a minute or two. This can happen when a video disc is paused, a JPEG file is left on screen or when a menu is left on screen. When you have finished, use the ⁄/ ¤/ ‹ / › Buttons to navigate to another setup menu, or press the Setup or Clear Button to clear the menus from view.
INITIAL SETUP Clear BD-Live Memory: Erases BD-Live bookmarks (which allow discs to resume play after being paused) and any content downloaded from the Internet. Software Version: This item is informational only. ENGLISH DivX Registration: This setting shows your personal DivX Video On Demand (VOD) code. This code allows you to rent and purchase videos using the DivX VOD service. For more information, visit www. divx.com/vod.
OPERATION Turning On the BDP 10 Press the front-panel Power Button or remote Power On Button to turn on the BDP 10 when the Power Indicator is amber. The Power Indicator will turn white. As explained in the note at the beginning of the Initial Setup section, the BDP 10 may take up to a minute before it is ready for playback. If the unit is left turned on but with no activity, the BDP 10 will automatically power off after 25 minutes.
OPERATION Playback Control To control playback, use the transport controls, which are shown on pages 8 and 13. Front Panel: Play/Pause, Stop, Skip Reverse, Skip/Step Forward. Remote: Previous, Next/Step, Search Reverse, Play, Search/Slow Forward, Pause and Stop. • To begin playback, press the Play Button. • To momentarily pause playback and freeze the current picture frame, press the Pause Button. To resume playback after pressing the Pause Button, press the Play Button.
OPERATION BD and DVD Menus BD and DVD playback is simple. Load the disc, and it will begin playing automatically if the Auto Play setting is on, or select “Disc” from the Media Launcher menu. Allow at least one minute for the BDP 10 to identify the disc and load its contents into memory before playback begins. You may skip the introductory promotional materials by pressing the Disc Menu Button to skip to the disc’s main menu.
OPERATION To change the subtitle language or turn the subtitles on or off, press the Subtitle Button while the disc is playing. The current Subtitle will appear at the top of the screen. Each press of the Subtitle Button will change the current language, or turn subtitling off. When your desired selection appears, wait 5 seconds for the display to clear on its own. Angles Some discs contain multiple-camera angle views, which allow the disc’s creators to provide different views of the same scene.
OPERATION Programming a Playlist You may program a playlist consisting of only a single audio track, or of all folders on the media, or anything in between. • File level: If you have opened all folders and are viewing the individual files, press the Disc Menu Button to display the menu. Highlight the “Playlist” option, and press the › Button to continue. A new dropdown menu will appear. Choose “Add to Playlist”, and another dropdown menu will appear.
OPERATION Slideshows A slideshow is a continuous display of the image files in the current folder. As explained below, if one or more audio files are stored on the same disc or USB drive as the images, the slideshow may be accompanied by background music. • Begin slideshow: Highlight the folder containing the images, or highlight the first image file, or start viewing an image. Press the Disc Menu Button. In each case a different dropdown menu will appear, but all will offer the “Start Slideshow” option.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM Unit does not turn on Unit does not respond to remote commands.
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide for every three units of height, making it almost square. Wide-aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of height, more like the screen in a movie theater.
GLOSSARY WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed by the Microsoft Corporation for use with its Windows Media Player. WMA files may be created with greater compression than MP3 without sacrificing audio quality so that even more songs may be recorded on a disc. There have been a number of versions of Windows Media, and the BDP 10 is compatible only with files that end in the “wma” extension and that were recorded using the Windows Media Series 9 encoding, up to 320kbps.
