Before you start! Using this handbook This handbook has been designed to give you all the information you need to install, connect, set-up and use the Arcam FMJ DV29. The remote control handset supplied with the equipment is also described. It may be that the DV29 has been installed and set-up as part of your Hi-Fi installation by a qualified Arcam dealer.
Disc types supported The ARCAM DV29 DVD-player plays a range of disc types. Discs entered into the DV29 should bear one of the logos shown on the right. These disc types include: DVD-video (single region, set at factory); DVD-audio; CDDA (‘normal’ audio-CDs) including HDCD decoding, CD-R, and CD-RW; Video CD, including variants such as CVCD, SVCD and DVCD; MP3 and WMA audio files, when on a CD-ROM or CD-R/CD-RW (some restrictions apply); E nglish n n n n n n Picture CDs (JPEG image files).

Note that the SCART output has a control signal that switches your TV to its SCART input when the DV29 is turned on. It will also signal to wide-screen TVs the correct aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3), provided this feature is supported by the TV. Progressive video If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned (de-interlaced) video signal, you may wish to use the progressive video output from the DV29.
Basic use of your DVD player DV29 DVD PLAYER NAV MODE DVDA SETUP LOAD OK NAV PLAY TITLE STOP PAUSE MENU TRACK Introduction ‘Basic operation’ 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.
The HDMI interface If you have a HDMI- or DVI-equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to the DV29 using a HDMI cable. The HDMI connector carries uncompressed digital video, as well as digital audio. E nglish 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.
Using the CR-415 remote control 0–9 keypad This allows direct access to individual tracks on audio CDs. To select a track, press the corresponding keypad button followed by OK. For tracks greater than 9, enter the digits in sequence. For example, to play track 15, press 1, then 5, then OK. OPEN Opens and closes the disc tray DISP (display) Standby Dims or turns the DV29’s display on or off. Turning the display off generally gives a slight improvement in sound quality.
E nglish Advanced controls (CR-415) SUBT (subtitle) TRIM This button brings up a menu very similar to the ‘Trims’ page in the Set-up menu (as described on page 18). It allows on-the-fly changes to the relative volume of each speaker in your system, while a disc is being played. For a full description, see page 18. Press SUBT on the remote control to cycle through the available subtitle languages, including ‘OFF’. Some discs force subtitles on, over-riding player set up.
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 OSD Language Note that this setting does not change the language of any information displayed on the front panel, which is always in English. OSD Status This setting controls the ‘pop up’ messages that appear on screen. On Pop-up messages are enabled Off No pop-up messages, only menus when required.
Video set-up If your display device is HDMI-compliant, the DV29 can read the capabilities of the display device directly; the information allows the DV29 to configure its output automatically and optimally for the attached device. This is known as ‘plug and play’. The DV29 can be configured for plug and play, or not; this depends on the ‘Output Priority’ setting, described below.
Analogue Video Component The video output on the Component video (3 phonos), SCART and HDMI connections is Y, Pb, Pr component video. RGB SCART The video output on the Component video (3 phonos), SCART and HDMI connections is RGB. Note that if you are using RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need to use COMPOSITE as a sync. signal. E nglish This setting controls the type of video given out on the Component and SCART video outputs.
Down-sample This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter connected to the co-axial or optical digital audio output. Max 96K Choose this option if your external audio decoder is able to process digital audio with a sample rate of up to 96kHz, or if you are not using the digital audio outputs. This is the maximum sample rate present on DVD-video discs.
Speaker set-up The speakers are indicated as follows: Front L/R This is the setting for the ‘Front’ speakers (the speakers used for 2channel stereo output). Centre This is the ‘Centre’ speaker setting. Surround L/R This is the setting for the ‘Surround’ speakers (normally next-to or behind the user). Subwoofer This is used to indicate whether a subwoofer is connected.
Video post-processing (lip-sync.) Delay (NTSC/PAL) Modern displays and video scalers often employ digital video processing that can introduce a significant video delay. The ‘Delay’ menu items allow correction of this effect by delaying the audio soundtrack up to 150 milliseconds. The amount of correction required in a given system is best determined by experimentation.
Advanced DVD and VCD features This section explains the more sophisticated DVD and VCD features, such as special playback modes. The operations described here are not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but are similar enough to make it appropriate to group them together. E n g lis h Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.
Programmed playback (DVD-video) Press PROG on the remote control to open the ‘Programme’ menu. Note that playback must be stopped first. The bottom of the screen shows the number of titles present on the disc, together with the number of chapters in the title selected currently (or the first title if no title has yet been specified). Below this is an information line, giving relevant information for the cursor position. You can enter a sequence of up to 20 title/chapter combinations for programmed playback.
Advanced MP3/WMA/JPEG and audio-CD features The DV29 DVD player has the ability to handle MP3, WMA and JPEG files, when these are burned on to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Picture/Photo CDs are also playable. These file types may be mixed together, if desired. E nglish This section explains the more sophisticated CD-based features, for audio CDs and for CD-ROM discs containing MP3, WMA and JPEG files.
Browsing the disc (Browse mode) By default, the disc navigator is in ‘Browse’ mode. In this mode, the user can navigate around the disc (using the cursor pad for direction and ‘OK’ to select an option). When a file/track is highlighted, the tag information for that file (if available) is displayed in the lower portion of the screen. Use the ‘Up’ button to move to a higher-level directory; to enter a lower-level directory, press OK when the directory name is highlighted.
Shuffle and Repeat Note that this section is valid for audio-CDs only. Repeat When a track repeat is selected, the loop symbol on the front panel display is illuminated and the current track is repeated. If a disc repeat is selected, the loop symbol and ‘ALL’ are illuminated and the entire disc is repeated. To cancel repeat, press the RPT button until the Repeat symbols on the front panel display are no longer illuminated. Shuffle Press the P MODE button on the remote control to activate shuffle play.
