I hooked up
the composite cable (the red, white, and yellow cable) between my GPX player
and my television, but I still can't receive audio and video?
- Make sure
your television is set to the correct input channel. Some televisions may need to
be turned to a specific, numbered channel, while others may require you to
press an "INPUT SELECT" or a "TV/AV" or a
"TV/VIDEO" button.
- If the problem persists, check to be sure the cables are pressed firmly into
their ports and that the color and labeling of one output port matches the
color and labeling of the corresponding input port. One side of the cable
should be inserted into the output jack of the DVD player with the other side
inserted into the input jack of the television.
Why does my
DVD skip?
Make sure there
are no scratches on your DVD that would cause lower performance. Over time any
DVD player may need to be cleaned. Due
to the sensitivity of such a project, consult your local electronics provider
for an appropriate system to clean your DVD player.
Why can’t I
see the complete screen when I am watching a DVD?
Make sure you
have the correct aspect ratio setting. You can change this setting in the menu
that appears after pressing the MENU/SETUP button. This button is located in
the center of your remote above the SCROLL-RIGHT button. In this menu, scroll over to the Display tab.
Under the options for "Aspect Ratio," you have three choices of
television shaping.
-
One option is the 4:3 L-Box which stands for "Letter Box," and it
is best for a standard square tube television. It allows you to see the
complete frame of a widescreen movie on a non-widescreen television.
-
The next option is the 4:3 PS, which stands for "Pan Scan." This
will make the image fit a square tube television, but there may be portions of
the picture on the left and right side not included in the image of this
option.
-
The last option is Wide. This option should only be used if you have a
widescreen television to connect to your iLive player. This option can also be changed directly by
pressing the WIDE button on your remote.
-
Also check to see if your ZOOM setting is set to OFF. This can be done by
pressing ZOOM on your remote control until your picture returns to its normal
operation.
If I have
burned a CD or DVD with various types of files (wma's, mp3's, JPEG's, etc.),
how do I view these files?
- When you
enter in a data CD, a display on your television automatically provides a
browser to look through which JPEG files you would like to view.
- Select a file from the disc and press the PLAY/PAUSE button. This will start
a slide show of pictures in numerical/alphabetical order. You may use the NEXT
and PREVIOUS track buttons to skip a photo or to go back to a photo. There is a
limitation to the number of JPEG files that can be played. This DVD player will
read and play only the first 500 JPEGs on the CD.
- The ability to play music in .mp3 or .wma format is not included as a feature
in this product.
What should
I do if my television does not have the inputs that my GPX player requires?
If you have
an older television, it's possible the only input the television will receive
is a coaxial input meant to be connected to either an antenna or a cable
television provider. In this case, you
will need to purchase an RF modulator from an electronics dealer. This will
allow you to convert your coaxial input into a composite input (the red, white,
and yellow cable), which will provide a connection between your television and
GPX player.
Why are
there subtitles displayed on my screen?
- Make sure
the subtitle language in the SETUP menu is switched to OFF. This can be done by
switching to the DVD mode. Press the
Language tab and scroll down to the Subtitle option. This should be marked as
Off rather than English.
- If you were in the middle of a DVD and wanted to change the setting, you
could press the SUBTITLE button until the display reads Off.
In the
AUDIO tab within the SETUP menu, what is the difference between PCM, RAW, and
OFF?
- This is a
standardized manner in which audio is transferred from your DVD player to a
separate audio system.
- The PCM option would be appropriate for a 2-channel
Dolby Digital amplifier. This would be a Dolby Digital receiver that has only
two speakers connected to it. This would also be the best option when
connecting your player to a standard, two-speaker television.
- The RAW option would provide a raw signal to be processed by a Dolby Digital
5.1, MPEG, or DTS capable amplifier.
- The OFF setting is for when you need to use the stereo speakers on your
television, rather than connect the DVD player to any external speaker system.
In the
audio settings, what is the difference between PCM and RAW?
• PCM
stands for "Pulse Code Modulation," which means your GPX player
converts the audio encoded on your DVD into a format that works best with a
two-speaker television or an audio receiver with two channels.
• RAW is a setting best used with a Dolby Digital 5.1, MPEG, or DTS capable
amplifier. RAW literally means it takes the raw audio information encoded on
your DVD so that it can be processed by your receiver and distributed to
several different speakers.
