RCA RC5240P Operation & User’s Manual

User’s Manual. In order for you to get optimum use from your RC5240P DVD player, please keep this sheet with your User’s Manual for future reference. We apologize for any inconvenience. Addendum to User’s Manual TOCOM 15801420 IMPORTANT! Model Number: RC5240P Date: 5/09/01 Programming the Remote The remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote controllable TVs. The remote is already programmed to control most RCA, PROSCAN, and GE TVs. Testing the remote To determine whether the remote needs to be programmed, turn the TV ON, point the remote at the TV, and press the TV button. Then press POWER or CH+ (channel up) or CH- (channel down) to see if the TV responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed. Entering Codes To control a TV that is not an RCA, PROSCAN or GE TV, you’ll need to enter the specific codes for the brand of TV you have. 1. Turn on the TV to be programmed. 2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the TV on the code list on the reverse side of this sheet. 3. Point the DVD Player’s remote at the TV. 4. Press and hold the TV button on the remote. 5. Enter the code from the Remote Control code list (see reverse). 6. Release the TV button, and then press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the TV button and then ON•OFF again. 7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the TV responds to the remote commands. Note: This remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of televisions. Important! You must continue pressing the TV button while you enter the code. For example, let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the remote to operate the TV you would: Press and hold the TV button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes column. Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter the second code instead of the first. 1

Things to Consider Before You Connect Protect Against Power Surges • Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet. • Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables. • Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your DVD player. Protect Components from Overheating • Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. • Don’t stack components. • When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation. • If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t flow around other components. Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference • Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack. • If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV. • If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables. Connection Pictures Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video). Note: The illustrations in this book are representational, and in some instances may not exactly match the item represented. Types of Discs Your DVD Player will Play • DVD video discs – DVD video discs contain high quality picture and sound content. • Audio discs – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. • Video CDs – Like DVD discs, VCDs contain picture and sound content. VCDs hold less content that DVD discs. • CD-R (MP3 files) – CD-R discs with MP3 files recorded or downloaded onto them. VIDEO CD 15739290.03 s&c 4/19/01, 4:23 PM 6

Install Batteries in the Remote 1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote. 2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the remote. 3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote. Important Battery Information • If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage. • Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations. • Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged. • Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury. Point the Remote in the Right Direction When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked. Turn on the TV and DVD Player 1. Turn on your TV and tune to the correct video input channel (see following page). 2. Press the POWER button on the remote or the ON•OFF button on the DVD player. insert batteries 15739290.03 s&c 4/19/01, 4:24 PM 18

What is a Video CD? Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high. VCDs can have more than one title. Each title is divided into tracks (similar to chapters on a DVD disc). The Video CD Disc Menu A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear after the disc is loaded into the player. The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the instructions that accompany the Video CD for more information on how to use the playback control functions for that specific disc. If a disc menu appears: 1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a chapter). 2. Press OK on the remote to begin playback of the selected track. 3. Press CH+ or CH- on the remote to scroll through the tracks. 4. Press the STOP button on the remote to stop playback and return to the disc menu. To bring up the disc menu during disc play, press the MENU button on the remote. If the Video CD Has Playback Control If a disc is encoded with the playback control function, a menu screen appears after the disc is loaded into the player. 1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track. 2. Press OK to begin playback of the selected track. 3. Press CH+ or CH- on the remote to scroll through the tracks. 4. Press STOP to stop playback and return to the menu or press STOP twice to stop playback and remove the menu from the screen. Bypassing Playback Control If a Video CD has playback control, you can bypass the disc’s menu by following these steps when you first load the discs. 1. Press STOP to put the player in the stop mode. 2. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the desired track number, and then press OK. When playback begins, the disc will respond as if it is not in the Playback Control mode. 15739290.06 vcd 4/19/01, 4:24 PM 40

Resuming Playback Control To resume the Playback Control mode, press MENU (the disc’s menu appears). Using the Time Search Feature You can use the Time Search feature to begin playback from any point on the disc (in the currently playing title) by entering the elapsed time. For example, if you have a favorite scene that begins 12:34 minutes into the movie, you can go directly to that point in the title. 1. With the disc playing, press the INFO button on the remote twice (the time search prompt will be displayed). 2. Enter the elapsed time where you want to begin playback. As soon as you enter the last number, playback will begin from the time that you specified. Note: This feature does not work in Playback Control mode. The Index Feature The index feature displays small pictures or “thumbnails” of each title and track on the disc. 1. Press STOP twice. 2. Press the GUIDE button (the index may take a moment to load). 3. The Index menu is displayed. The options are numbered.

If you select Disc Index or Track Index, the screen displays thumbnails of the available titles or chapters. Up to nine thumbnails are displayed per screen. Each thumbnail has a number in the corner. You can select and play a chapter by pressing that number on the remote. 5. To view the next nine thumbnails, press the CH+ button to go forward and the CH- button to go to the previous page. 6.
