Operation

Movie Rating: Select Movie Rating from the Parental Control menu to block movies carrying a given rating, to prevent children from watching movies that are deemed inappropriate. These ratings have been established by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to help parents and other caregivers determine if a movie is suitable for young viewers.

To block movies carrying a given rating, press the right-arrow button to require the PIN

code to be entered to view a movie with that rating. A lock icon () appears to indicate that the restriction is active.

For more information on movie ratings, please visit http://www.mpaa.org/movieratings/.

Unrated: To allow or block access to unrated content, select Unrated from the Parental Control menu and select Allow or Block. Press ENTER to confirm your choice.

Change PIN: The default PIN for accessing the parental controls or bypassing content restrictions is 0000. Vidikron recommends changing this to something less obvious.

Letterbox Mode: Select Letterbox Mode from the Setup menu to change the zoom factor that takes effect when you select the Letterbox aspect ratio (refer to Table 4-1).

When you select Letterbox, the image is enlarged (zoomed in) by a factor of approximately 1.33.

When you select Cinema Fill, the zoom factor is approximately 1.77 (1.33 x 1.33).

Input Selection: Input 1 and Input 2 have both S-Video and Composite video connectors. Input 3 and Input 4 have both Component and Composite video connectors. To specify which connection type you are using – or to switch from one to the other if equipment is connected to both – select Input Selection from the Setup menu and press ENTER.

The default setting for all four AV inputs is Automatic. With this setting, the DView searches for an active source on both connectors and displays the first one it detects. If equipment is connected to both, Automatic input selection triggers a switch when a source component is disconnected or powered off.

Monitor Out: If you have equipment connected to the AV OUT, select Monitor Out from the Setup menu to route either the main or PIP audio/video signals to that output.
