Introduction
Welcome to the Bladelius DVD / Multi format
player!
This chapter introduces you to its key features,
and explains how you can take advantage of its
configurability to create a system perfectly
suited to your requirements.
Welcome to the DVD / Multi
format player
This player is equipped with the very latest
video and audio processing technology to
deliver the best performance from any disc that
you choose. Its universal capabilities will ensure
ultimate convenience and ease of use.
Three machines in one cabinet
This unit can be regarded as three different
machines in one. Your possibilities of control are
also more extensive than what is possible with
most other player’s. Each of the parts can be
adjusted independently from the others.
The three different parts are:
The Transport – This is where the content of
the disc, regardless of format is read. This is
also where you control the player’s tracks,
playing skipping, scanning etc.
The Processor – This is where the content of
the disc is converted into sound and picture.
This is where all the detecting and processing of
all formats is taking place.
The Preamp - This is where you can control
output volume etc if you have hooked up the
player directly to a power amplifier and choose
what input to use.
Please Note that several of the features
or functions described in this manual
are dependent on which version of the
players you have.
