SYSTEM SETUP

This method of navigation, option selection and adjust- ment applies to all menus except for the Video Adjust- ments menu, which accommodates the need to view the on-screen video or the DVD 47’s internal test sig- nal while the settings are being made. See page 24 for information on changing the Video Adjustments.

The SPEAKER SETUP menu uses the same navigation method, but with a slightly different arrange- ment. Since adjustments are made to accommodate the speaker used for each channel, the settings for each speaker are displayed according to their place- ment in the listening room.

Setup Menu

The four submenus within the SETUP menu are where you establish the basic system settings for the DVD 47. Most of these settings need to be adjusted only once, and in many cases you will find that the system defaults are the correct option for your combination of components. However, it is worth a few minutes to briefly scan through each of the Submenus to confirm that the settings are correct and to familiarize yourself with the available options so that you are aware of the flexibility of the DVD 47.

System Setup Submenu

The SYSTEM SETUP submenu is where you establish the control options, languages and displays. In most cases, the system default options are sufficient for normal operation, but you may wish to change them to tailor the unit’s operation to your preferences.

Access the SYSTEM SETUP submenu by pressing the Setup Button 9 to display the main SETUP menu. The System icon should be high- lighted. If it isn’t, use the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons n to highlight the icon. As indicated on the Instruction Line ∂, press the Enter Button t to access the settings in SYSTEM SETUP.

The following adjustments may be made on the SYSTEM SETUP menu.

Figure 3

Display Language: This setting selects the language that will be used for the DVD 47’s OSD menus and other system messages. The default is English, but you may also select French, Spanish, German or Italian.

Preferred Subtitle Language: This setting selects the language used for the display of subtitles. The default setting is OFF, to play discs without subtitles. To set the player so that subtitles will always play in a specific language when they are available, select from the choices shown in the drop down menu.

If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you may select a preferred language by first pressing the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons n so that OTHER is highlighted in the dropdown menu. Press the Enter Button s and then use the ⁄¤‹› Navigation Buttons n to select a subtitle language (see Figure 4). When the desired language is highlighted, press the Enter Button t to set it as the preferred subtitle language.

If you wish to exit this screen without selecting a lan- guage, use the ⁄¤‹› Navigation Buttons n until the word RETURN at the bottom of the screen is highlighted, and press the Enter Button t to return to the SYSTEM SETUP screen.

This procedure selects a preferred subtitle language, but it will only be available when the disc being played contains that language. The list of subtitles available on any given disc is always shown on the disc jacket, usually at the bottom of the back cover. Note that the subtitles may also be switched on or off, or a new lan- guage selected during playback using the Subtitle

Button , as described on page 30.

If you have selected a subtitle language and subtitles do not appear on screen, press the Subtitle Button to display the Subtitle banner. Each press of the Enter Button t will cycle through the subtitle lan-

guages available on the disc. If subtitles still do not appear, press the Disc Menu Button ` to make sure that subtitling has been selected in the disc’s menu system.

NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored, the subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 47 may not accurately reflect the actual lan- guages available on the disc. It is recommended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.

Panel Time-Out: This setting 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 distracting while a movie is playing). You may program the DVD 47 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 five or 20 seconds. When the display is off, the blue Power Indicator 1 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 or VCD is playing. However, you may always press the Dimmer Button r to dim the front-panel display either by half or fully.

Status Bar Time-Out: This setting selects the time- out interval for the on-screen Status Bar that appears at the top of your video screen when the Status

Button is pressed while a disc is playing. During DVD playback, the status bar shows the current title and chapter, the elapsed or remaining time in the cur- rent chapter or title, a setting to adjust the time display, and a temperature bar for the time display.

You may program the status bar to remain on screen for either five or 20 seconds after the Status Button

is pressed. When OFF is selected, the time-out is disabled, and the status bar will remain on the

screen until the Status Button or Clear Button d is pressed.

Parental Control: The DVD 47’s password system allows you to restrict viewing of certain materials that may not be suitable for younger members of the household by requiring the viewer to enter a password before viewing those materials. The system is based on rating information encoded in the DVD that classi- fies materials into eight levels, roughly corresponding to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) voluntary ratings system:

Level 1: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “G” (General Audiences) rating, and is considered suitable for all viewers.

Level 2: Intermediate level between the “PG” and “G” ratings.

Level 3: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “PG” (Parental Guidance) rating.

Level 4: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “PG-13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old) rating.

Level 5: Intermediate level between the “R” and “PG-13” ratings.

Level 6: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “R” (Restricted) rating.

Level 7: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “NC-17” (17 years and older) rating.

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

Unlocked: Any DVD may be viewed without entering the password.
