5.Press OK.

Note: You must lock the player (page 45) in order for the ratings to be enforced.

Unrated Titles

Some discs contain titles (or movies) that don’t have a rating assigned to them. Sometimes, movies you might find the most explicit are unrated. However, much of the new programming on discs, such as interviews with actors and directors, is also unrated. Additionally, the discs you use to record (DVD+R and DVD+RW) are considered unrated.

In order to prevent unrated titles from being played, you need to choose Password Required from the Unrated Titles menu, and lock the player.

If you want this setting to apply to discs you recorded (DVD+R and DVD+RW discs), simply highlight the check box next to Apply DVD+R, +RW and press OK.

System Options:

Contains settings and menus for audio features, as well as black level settings and dimmer options for the front display of your DVD recorder.

Digital Output: If you connected your DVD recorder to a receiver via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the back of the player, choose the type of

receiver (or decoder) you have: Dolby Digital or DTS.

Note: If you select DTS, and you don’t have a DTS receiver connected to the DVD recorder you won’t hear any audio or the audio will be distorted.

SRS/TruSurround: The TruSurround® feature simulates a six-speaker listening experience through just two speakers. The default setting is Off. To turn on the Virtual Surround® feature highlight SRS/TruSurround, and press OK. Highlight On and press the OK button.

Black Level: Adjusts how bright the picture appears. Choose between Dark and Light. Use the arrow buttons to highlight a choice and press the OK button to select the choice that’s highlighted.

Display Dimmer: Adjusts the brightness of the display on the front of the DVD recorder. Use the arrow buttons to highlight a setting, and the OK

button to select the option that’s highlighted. The choices follow: Automatic (the display automatically dims during playback); Bright; Dim.

Audio Broadcast: Default setting for type of audio recorded and played. Choices are Stereo, Mono, SAP (Second Audio Program).

AutoClock: Keeps the DVD recorder’s time current by downloading time from broadcast signal. If the DVD recorder’s clock is out of sync and AutoClock is on, try turning off AutoClock and set the time manually via the Clock Setup menu (page 48).
