Chapter 5: Menu System

Disc Library

The disc library accesses information about what you’ve recorded onto discs. Details of this feature and the submenus are described on page 33.

Timers

Timer: You can add timers and view or edit existing timers from this menu for automatic recording.Timer recordings are especially useful when you have a favorite program that you want to record every week and/or every day. If you use a cable box, the cable box must be On and tuned to the channel you want to record, during the timer recording; if you’re recording from satellite, the satellite set-top box, also called a receiver, must be On and tuned to the channel you want to record. For details about setting up a timer, go to page 32.

Setup

The Setup menu contains many submenus that are explained on the following pages. Follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen.

Note: To return to a previous menu, press the left arrow button or GO BACK.

Parental Controls

You can set up ratings limits and turn on the Parental Control feature in order to control the type of discs people can play in the DVD/VCR.The padlock icon on the Lock menu indicates whether the player is locked or unlocked.

Locked: You need to enter the password in order to play discs that have a higher rating than what you’ve allowed.When the player is locked, nobody can access the Lock menu without entering the password.

Unlocked: No password required to play discs. Even if you’ve set ratings limits, they won’t be enforced when the player is unlocked.

Notes:

The player is shipped unlocked without any rating limits set. If you want to use the Parental Control feature, set Ratings Limits and then lock the player.

Note: The player is shipped without any rating limits set. You need to set Ratings Limits (go to page 56 for instructions) in order for the player to prevent people from playing discs with certain ratings.

Rating Limits

The Rating Limits menu lets you determine what types of discs can be played in the player, and what types of discs will require a password to override the rating limit that you’ve set. In the U.S., the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) such as R, PG, G, etc.

The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accommodate ratings systems used in other countries (1 is considered material that is least offensive and 8 is considered the most offensive).

Note: In order for the Ratings to be enforced, the DVD/VCR must be locked and the disc you’re playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.
