SCART output The SCART connector is common on European A/V equipment and provides a convenient connection method between your DVD player and display device, carrying both video and stereo audio. If you are using a SCART connection and you do not wish to listen to the audio through your TV, then it is best to mute your TV’s speakers; muting the TV will prevent this audio being heard.
The remote-control and trigger inputs The remote control input requires a mono 3.5mm jack, with the tip active and the sleeve grounded. The REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 codes to the DV135 if it is installed in a position (or system) where infrared cannot be used. If this is required, please contact your dealer for further information. The trigger in input can be used to switch the DV135 in and out of stand-by.
Basic use of your DVD player ����� ���� �� ���� ����� ���� ����� ��� E nglish ���������������� ���� ����� ����� Introduction ‘Basic use’ explains how to play a DVD, CD or other type of disc. Note that it may be necessary to configure your player correctly for your system before optimum – or any – playback can be achieved. Player configuration is described beginning on page 12.
CR-515 remote control The CR-515 is a remote control designed for use with Arcam DVD players. Some owners may wish to use a dedicated remote in preference to a Universal remote control. On/Standby This allows the DV135 to be put into and taken out of stand-by remotely. HDMI DISP (display) Selects the picture resolution for HDMI output. Press to cycle through the front panel display’s brightness options (dim to bright, off). CLEAR Use CLEAR to clear a numeric field.
E nglish Advanced controls (CR-515) TRIM This button has no function on the DV135 ZOOM Press ZOOM to enlarge a particular area of the picture. Each press of the ZOOM button increases the zoom. Pressing ZOOM when the maximum enlargement has been reached returns the image to normal size. RPT Title Press TITLE to access the DVD’s ‘Title’ menu (a feature that only applies to multi-title discs). Subt Cycles through the available subtitle languages, including ‘Off’.
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.
Operational set-up Preferred language This settings allows you to specify your preferred language. The default language is English, but three other languages (French, German and Dutch) are supported. Status messages On Pop-up messages are enabled. Off No pop-up messages, only menus when required. E nglish This setting controls the ‘pop up’ messages that appear on screen. Certain messages, such as ‘No Disc’ are always shown regardless of how this is set.
Video set-up If your display device is HDMI-compliant, the DV135 can read the capabilities of the display device directly; the information allows the DV135 to configure its output automatically and optimally for the attached device. See page 18 for more information about connecting to HDMI devices. Main video output This setting is to tell the DV135 which of the available video outputs is the ‘main’ output, i.e., in the event of a conflict between video outputs, which output has priority.
HDMI colour space This setting controls the type of video (the colour space) given out over the HDMI connection. Auto The colour space will be set appropriately for the connected display. This is the recommended setting if you are connecting the DV135 to an HDMI- or DVI-compliant device. YUV The HDMI connection carries Y, Pb, Pr (YUV) component video. RGB The HDMI connection carries RGB video with standard video levels.
Audio set-up This section allows you to configure the analogue, digital and HDMI audio outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter. Digital audio output This setting configures the digital audio output – coaxial, optical and HDMI. S/PDIF stereo PCM When the ‘Stereo PCM’ digital output is selected, all audio material played is down-mixed to stereo and output as stereo PCM.

DVD/VCD special playback modes This section explains the special playback modes for DVDs and VCDs. The operations described here are not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but very similar. Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant. Jumping to a particular point Press the SRCH button on the remote control to open the ‘Search’ menu: If the disc is playing, then the elapsed and total times on the disc are shown.
Disc navigator screen When a disc containing audio/video/image files is detected by the DVD player, the disc navigator screen is displayed. In the example, a CD-R containing MP3 files is shown. E nglish The following areas can be identified: File/Folder The name of the file or folder that is currently selected.
The HDMI interface If you have a HDMI- or DVI-equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to the DV135 using a HDMI cable. The HDMI connector carries uncompressed digital video, as well as digital audio. About HDMI HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, digital TV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices.
