Select “Off” to turn off subtitles. This setting may be changed later, or

using the Subtitle Button on the remote. If the subtitle language is changed using the Subtitle Button

,the change will only be effective for that disc. Note that in order for the selected subtitle language to appear, it must be present on the disc. Consult the disc jacket for information on the subtitle languages available.

The Panel Time-Outsetting allows you to select the length of time the front-panel display remains illuminated during disc playback (as some people find the front-panel display to be dis- tracting while a movie is playing). You may program the DVD280 to refresh the front-panel display only when a button is pressed on the remote or front panel, and to turn the display off again after either 5 or 20 seconds (see Figure 6). When the display is off, the orange Power Indicator 3 will remain lit to remind you that the unit is turned on. When the Panel Time-Out setting is set to “Off”, the display remains lit at all times. This feature is only in effect when a DVD, VCD or SVCD is playing. However, you may always press the Dimmer Button !p to dim the front-panel display either by half or fully.

The Status Bar Time-Out setting allows you to select the length of time the Status Bar remains on- screen. The Status Bar appears when

the Status Button is pressed dur-

ing disc play, and it displays the title, chapter/track, play mode and elapsed or remaining time of the current disc. The Status Bar display is also used for selecting repeat and random modes, audio tracks, subtitle tracks or multiple angles. You may program the Status Bar to remain on-screen for either 5 or 20 seconds (see Figure 7). When set to “Off,” the Status Bar will remain on-screen until it is manually cleared by pressing either the Status

Button or the Clear Button q. The Audio, Playlist, Repeat/Random and Subtitle Status Bars include a “Done” button on the right. When the “Done” button is on-screen, you may use the Navigation ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons fh to scroll until it is highlighted, then select it by pressing the Enter Button 8. This will also clear the Status Bar from the screen.

The mini Status Bar that appears on- screen in response to certain actions, such as opening or closing the Disc Drawer 4, will always disappear after two seconds.

Parental Control

The DVD280’s Password System is used to control viewing of restricted programs and offers the capability to change the password itself and the rating. The DVD280 is shipped with “8888” as the default password and with the parental control settings off. The following instructions will show how to change the password and lock the settings.

NOTE: The DVD must be specifically encoded with rating information for Parental Control to work.

The Rating Levels

The five MPAA rating symbols are “G” (General, Level 1), “PG” (Parental Guidance, Level 3), “PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, Level 4), “R” (Restricted, Level 6) and “NC 17” (from 17 years old, Level 7). The DVD280 will accommodate a total of

eight rating steps, as set by the DVD creators. These additional steps allow for more critical control of pro- gram playback for all audiences.

Level 8: All DVDs, including adult materials, can be played.

Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audi- ences/children can be played.

Level 1: DVDs for children can be played; DVDs for adults/general audi- ences are prohibited.

Password

If you change the password from the factory default setting, please remember to write the new password in a safe place. You cannot access rated discs or rating/password menus or change or clear the password (see below) without entering the correct password.

If you forget your password, you can reset the DVD280 to the factory default password (8888) after clearing the on-screen menus from the display by pressing and holding the Clear Button G for more than 5 seconds. NOTE: This will restore all menu set- tings to the factory default settings. Any changes you have made will be lost.

Select “Parental Control” and enter the password “8888” (see Figure 8).
