The Rated Titles screen lets you set the Rating Limit

Choose Unrated Titles to set free access or require a password for unrated titles.

1.From the Lock menu, highlight Ratings Limits and press OK (the Ratings Limits menu is displayed).

3.To change the rating limit, press the up or down arrow button.

•The ratings that don’t require a password (free access) appear under the bar, in the green part of the block.

•The ratings that require a password appear above the bar, in the red part of the block.

4.When you have moved the bar to the desired setting, press OK. You are returned to the Rated Titles screen and the setting appears to the right of the Rated Titles option. For example, if you set 3 as the highest rating for Free Access (green), then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (that’s the DVD’s number for PG in the 8-level system) for the movie studio’s rating. This means when the DVD is locked, it will require you to enter the password to play any discs that are rated higher than 3 (i.e., PG-13 or NC- 17).

4 x 3 Letterbox – Choose this setting when receiving a 4:3 image with subtitles ON. You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it will take up a smaller portion of the screen vertically to accommodate subtitles. The movie might appear with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

4 x 3 Standard – Choose this setting when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen appearance of the video to be a centered picture with black side panels (blank area) on the right and left sides. Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion. This means the black bars appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

16 x 9 Standard – Choose this setting to view 16:9 formatted DVD’s. Most DVD’s will force the viewing to this mode. Also choose this if you want a 4:3 image to adjust horizontally to fill the 16:9 screen. Black side panels won’t be added, and the image is vertically unaltered.

On-Screen Displays

This feature lets you select whether you want certain on-screen displays to appear on the screen. It contains three choices with check boxes next to them:

•Information Display – When turned on, displays time transport information when you are fast forwarding or reversing playback.

•Angle Indicator – When turned on, displays camera angle icon if more than one camera angle is available.

•Scene Again™ Text – When turned on, displays subtitles when you use the Scene Again™ feature.

The default is to show all on-screen displays. To turn one of the options on or off, highlight an option and press OK. This toggles the option on or off.
