Access the Easy Setup Wizard
When the player is turned on for the first time, an Easy Setup Wizard screen will appear. It is a series of
guided instructions designed to configure the basic settings for the player.
To start the Easy Setup Wizard, please follow these steps:
1) Turn on the TV.
2) Turn on the player.
3) Switch the input selection on your TV so that the TV displays the signal from the player. You should
see the first step of the Easy Setup Wizard.
If the Easy Setup Wizard has previously been completed or canceled, it will no longer initiate when you
turn on the player. Instead, you will see the background screen with the Primare and Blu-ray Disc logos. To
access Easy Setup Wizard, please press the SETUP button on the remote control, select Device Setup,
then Reset Factory Default. Select “OK” to confirm loading the factory default settings. Once the factory
default settings are loaded the Easy Setup Wizard will appear.
Easy Setup
The Easy Setup Wizard will help you configure the
basic settings for this player. More detailed settings
can be accessed at the Setup Menu at any time after
finishing or exiting the wizard.
Press OK to initiate the Easy Setup Wizard, press
Cancel to exit this Wizard immediately.
Step: 1/6
The first step of the Easy Setup Wizard allows you to skip the entire wizard. If you are familiar with setting
up audio/video equipment and would like to customize the player settings using its Setup Menu, you may
use the < and > buttons to select the “Cancel” option, then press the SELECT key to exit the Easy Setup
Wizard. Otherwise, to continue with the Easy Setup Wizard, select the “OK” option and press the SELECT
key.

Step: 2/6
Choose the primary video output that you use.

connection.
Analog
HDMI 1
HDMI 2

The player can output video through its HDMI and component output terminals. By setting the “Primary
Video Output” option, the player can optimize video output of the selected terminal. The choices are “HDMI
1”, “HDMI 2” and “Analog”. If you connect the player to the TV using an HDMI cable (see Method 1 on
page 3, Method 2 on page 3, Method 4 on page 3, or Method 8 on page 4), please select “HDMI 1” or
“HDMI 2” correspondingly. If you connect the player to the TV using component video cables (see Method
3 on page 3), please select “Analog”.
Please note: The best performance will be provided over the HDMI connection. Between the two HDMI
outputs, HDMI 1 should be given priority for use since it benefits from the superior Marvell QDEO video
processing solution.
To make your selection, use the A and V buttons to highlight the choice, and then press the SELECT
button to go to the next step.
Select the Best Output Resolution
The rule of thumb when selecting an output resolution is to match the “native resolution” of your TV
or display device as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display
component in the TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input
signals with lower or higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the electronics in the TV
will up-scale or down-scale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market
only do an average job scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the Primare Blu-ray Disc Player to
output a resolution that matches or is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to
get a great picture.
For the latest generation of 1080p, “Full HD” or “True HD” displays, the best output resolution will naturally
be 1080p. (A few early model 1080p displays do not accept 1080p signal. For these displays the best
output resolution to use is 1080i.) For all other digital televisions this will likely be 720p. For CRT tube or
rear projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For EDTV displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI)
this will be 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL). These are general recommendations that work for most users, but
there can be exceptions. Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the one
that provides the best visual result.
The Primare Blu-ray Disc Player supports a special “Source Direct” output resolution on its HDMI output.
This resolution is recommended for use with external video processors or high-end TVs. In “Source Direct”
mode, the player works as a “transport”. It decodes video from the discs and then sends the raw video
signal in its native resolution and format, without extra processing, to the external video processor or TV.
