Overview

This document is an owner's manual for an LG DVD Player, model DP132. It provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining the device, along with important safety information and troubleshooting tips.

The LG DVD Player is designed to play various disc formats, including DVD-Video, DVD±R/RW, and Audio CDs. It also supports playback of multimedia files (video, music, and photos) from USB devices. The player features a user-friendly interface with on-screen display options for easy navigation and control.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to play DVDs and CDs, offering a range of playback controls such as play, pause, stop, fast forward, fast reverse, and skip. It supports advanced playback features like frame-by-frame playback, A-B repeat for specific sections, and setting desired starting times for playback. For video files, it allows for subtitle selection and adjustment of the subtitle code page. The device also includes a zoom function for enlarged video viewing.

Beyond disc playback, the DVD player can access and play multimedia files stored on USB devices. It supports various video, audio, and photo file formats, making it a versatile media player. A unique feature is the ability to record audio CDs directly to a connected USB device, allowing users to create digital copies of their music. This recording function offers different bit rate options for varying sound quality and file size.

The player incorporates a system setup menu that allows users to customize various settings. These include language preferences for the menu, disc audio, subtitle, and disc menu; TV aspect ratio and display mode adjustments; audio output options like Dynamic Range Control (DRC) and Vocal settings for karaoke DVDs; and parental lock features with password protection and rating level selection. It also includes a "Black Level Expansion" option for display enhancement and a DivX® VOD registration feature for playing purchased DivX Video-on-Demand movies.

Usage Features:

The device is operated using a remote control, which provides dedicated buttons for power, playback controls, menu navigation, audio and subtitle selection, setup access, and zoom functions. The front panel of the unit includes a disc tray, remote sensor, power indicator, open/close button, power button, and a USB port for connecting external storage devices. The rear panel features an AC power cord input, left/right audio output, and a video output.

Connecting the DVD player to a TV is straightforward, typically involving an RCA video/audio cable. For enhanced audio, it can also be connected to an amplifier using an audio cable. The on-screen display provides real-time information about the current title, chapter, elapsed time, audio language, subtitle, and angle during playback.

The USB direct recording feature allows users to record tracks from an Audio CD to a USB flash drive in MP3 format. This can be done for individual tracks, all tracks, or a programmed list of tracks. During recording, users can choose between normal speed (X1) where music can be listened to, or 4X speed where listening is not possible.

For photo playback, the device offers a slide show function with adjustable speed and the ability to rotate photos. Music can be played during a photo slide show if both music and photo files are present on the disc.

Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes several maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the device. Users are advised to handle discs by their edges to avoid fingerprints and to store them in their cases after use, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. For cleaning the unit, a soft, dry cloth is recommended. If surfaces are very dirty, a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution can be used, but strong solvents like alcohol, benzine, or thinner should be avoided as they can damage the surface.

The manual also highlights the importance of proper ventilation, advising against blocking the cabinet's slots and openings. It recommends against installing the unit in confined spaces without adequate ventilation. In case of issues, the troubleshooting section provides solutions for common problems like no power, disc not playing, remote control malfunction, poor picture/sound quality, and no picture/sound output. For more complex issues or if the optical pick-up lens or disc drive parts are worn, contacting an authorized service center is recommended.

The device also includes a screen saver that activates after about five minutes of inactivity in stop mode, and the unit automatically turns itself off if the screen saver is displayed for five minutes. A "Last Scene Memory" feature allows the unit to remember the last viewed scene even after the disc is removed or the unit is turned off, provided it's the same disc.

Safety information includes warnings about electric shock, laser radiation, and proper power cord handling. It also advises against opening the enclosure and refers servicing to qualified personnel. The manual also notes that the device is equipped with a portable battery and provides instructions for its safe removal and disposal.
