This document is the owner's manual for the LG DP122 DVD Player, providing comprehensive instructions for its operation, connection, and maintenance. The device is designed to play various disc formats, including DVD-Video, DVD±R/RW, Audio CDs, and CD-R/RW, as well as multimedia files from USB devices.
The LG DP122 is a standard DVD player that allows users to enjoy movies, music, and photos stored on discs or USB drives. It features basic playback controls such as play, pause, stop, scan, and skip, along with advanced functions like frame-by-frame playback, A-B repeat, and zoom for video content. For audio CDs, it supports track and album repeat, as well as the creation and management of custom program lists. The player also includes a USB direct recording feature, enabling users to record audio CDs directly to a connected USB flash drive at X2 speed, saving them as MP3 files.
The unit offers various connectivity options to integrate with a home entertainment system. It provides video output via an RCA video cable for connection to a TV, and audio output through RCA left/right audio cables for connection to a TV or an amplifier. Additionally, it features a COAXIAL digital audio output for connecting to DTS-compatible amplifiers, allowing for multi-channel surround sound experiences.
System settings are accessible through an on-screen menu, allowing users to customize language preferences for disc audio, subtitles, and menus. Display settings include TV aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) and display mode (Letterbox or Panscan) to optimize viewing for different TV screens. Audio settings provide options for digital audio output (Bitstream, PCM, or Off for DTS), sampling frequency (48KHz or 96KHz), Dynamic Range Control (DRC) for clearer sound at lower volumes, and a vocal setting for karaoke DVDs. Security features include a password-protected lock menu with rating control and an area code setting. The player also supports DivX® Video-on-Demand (VOD) registration and deregistration.
Operating the DP122 is straightforward, primarily controlled via the included remote control. Discs are loaded by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button, and playback typically starts automatically for most DVD-ROM discs. For audio CDs, users can select tracks using the navigation buttons. When playing multimedia files from a USB device or disc, users can navigate through files and folders using the remote's directional buttons and the ENTER key. The DISPLAY button provides on-screen information about the current playback, such as title/chapter numbers, elapsed time, audio language, subtitle language, and camera angles.
Advanced playback features enhance the viewing and listening experience. Users can fast forward or reverse through content, pause playback, and resume from the stopped point. For video files, frame-by-frame playback and zoom functions are available. The repeat function allows users to loop chapters, titles, tracks, or entire discs. A unique feature for video files is the ability to change the subtitle code page during playback, ensuring proper display of subtitles in various languages.
For photo viewing, the player supports slide shows with adjustable speeds. Photos can also be rotated and zoomed in full-screen mode. If a disc contains both music and photo files, users can enjoy a music background during photo slide shows. The USB direct recording function is initiated by connecting a USB flash drive, inserting an audio CD, and pressing the AUDIO button on the remote in play, pause, resume, or stop mode for track recording, or in complete stop mode for all tracks. Program list recording is also supported.
The manual emphasizes several maintenance aspects to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the device. For physical cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is recommended. For stubborn dirt, a lightly moistened cloth with a mild detergent solution can be used, but strong solvents like alcohol or benzine should be avoided to prevent damage to the unit's surface.
Disc handling instructions are provided to prevent damage and maintain playback quality. Users are advised to hold discs by the edges to avoid fingerprints, never stick paper or tape on them, and store them in their cases after use. Discs should not be exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources.
The manual also highlights the importance of proper ventilation, advising against blocking the unit's ventilation openings and recommending installation in a location with adequate airflow. It cautions against placing the unit in confined spaces like bookcases without proper ventilation.
Battery installation for the remote control is detailed, specifying the use of R03 (size AAA) batteries and correct polarity. In case of a forgotten password for the lock settings, a specific 6-digit number ("210499") can be entered in the setup menu to delete the password, provided no disc is in the unit. Regular backup of data on USB devices is recommended to prevent data loss, and users are warned against removing USB devices during recording to avoid malfunctions. The manual also advises against using USB extension cables, hubs, or multi-readers, as they may prevent the USB device from being recognized.
