The DVD 47 is shipped from the factory with the parental control system unlocked (no password is required to view any DVD), and with the password set to the four-digit code “1234.” To activate the system, use the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons n to highlight the Parental Control Setting on the SYSTEM SETUP submenu, and press the Enter Button t. Select the “On” setting from the dropdown menu, and the password screen will appear (see Figure 5.) Make sure the dashes on the Password line are highlighted, then enter the password code

using the Numeric Keys and press the ¤ Navigation Button n.

If you have entered the password correctly, the current setting of the Rating line will be highlighted. You may press the Enter Button t to display the ratings dropdown menu. Select a new rating using the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons n and the Enter Button t.

Figure 5

The first time you use the DVD 47, it is recommended that you scroll down to the Change Password line and press the Enter Button t to display the Change

Password screen. Use the Numeric Keys to enter your new password once at the New Password line, and a second time at the Confirm Password line. The DVD 47 will return to the screen shown in Figure 5, where you may then change the Ratings Setting. Since you had previously entered a valid password, you will not be required to enter a password again before changing the rating. However, once you press the ‹› Navigation Button n and return to the SYSTEM SETUP submenu, the new password will take effect.

Disc Recognition: The setting for the Disc Recog- nition feature, when turned on, allows you to pause or stop a DVD-Video disc, remove it from the player, play another disc, and then resume playback of the original disc at a later time from the point at which you paused. When a previously played disc is reinserted in the DVD 47, you will be presented with an on-screen status message asking whether you wish to start play- back from the beginning of the disc or resume at the point where you left off. Note that even when the setting is activated, you must press the Stop Button 4O either once (Resume mode) or twice (Stop mode), but not the Pause Button 3K. The unit may be

turned off between discs. The DVD 47 can store the information for up to five DVDs at a time.

PBC Support: This setting controls the activation of PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD discs. If you plan to play VCD discs, which are a CD-ROM-based format that predates DVD, we recommend that the setting be turned ON. However, with PBC enabled, the Repeat Track, Repeat Disc and Random functions will not be available for VCDs.

Screen Saver: The DVD 47 offers a Screen Saver option to protect your TV or video display from dam- age that may occur if the player is left turned on with the same still image for a period of time, as there is a possibility that the image may be “burned” into some display devices. This is particularly important for plasma displays and some CRT devices. Set Screen Saver to ON so that the DVD 47 will run the screen saver when no action has been detected for either one or five minutes. Press a desired command key on the front panel or remote to “wake” the DVD 47 and resume normal operation.

Show Angle Icon: Some DVDs are programmed with multiple-angle capability, allowing you to view the same scene from a different camera angle. Normally, the angle icon will be displayed on screen during those scenes to inform you that you may press the Angle Button m to change to a different view. If you would find the appearance of the icon on-screen distracting, select the Show Angle Icon setting in the System submenu, and set it to OFF. The Angle Indicator E will appear in the front-panel display whenever multiple angles are available, regardless of whether the on-screen icon appears.

Closed Caption: This setting enables viewing of closed caption messages, if they have been encoded in the video material. Closed captions – text displays of the program’s dialogue which are normally hidden from view – are made available for the hearing- impaired or others. Select the ON setting to activate the DVD 47’s closed captioning decoder so that these messages may be viewed.

Audio Setup Submenu

This submenu establishes the DVD’s configuration for general audio settings, such as preferred language and digital audio settings.

As with all setup menus, press the Setup Button j to activate the main menu screen, and then press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons n until the AUDIO SETUP icon is highlighted, and press the Enter Button t again.

SYSTEM SETUP

Figure 6

The following adjustments are available on the Audio Setup menu:

Preferred Audio Language: This setting is used to select the default language that will be used for pro- gram playback. The factory default setting is English, but you may choose French, Spanish, German or Italian by making a selection from the dropdown menu. To select a language other than those shown, select OTHER from the dropdown menu and press the Enter Button t. A screen will appear with a list of language choices (see Figure 4). Use the ⁄¤‹› Navigation Buttons n to select a language. When the desired language is highlighted, press the Enter Button t to set it as the preferred audio language. If you wish to exit this screen without selecting a language, 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 AUDIO SETUP screen.

This procedure selects a preferred audio program language, but it will only be available when the disc being played contains that language. The list of lan- guages available on any given disc is always shown on the disc jacket, usually at the bottom of the back cover. Note that the audio playback language may also be changed at any time during playback using the Audio Select Button c, as described on page 30, but any changes made will only be effective during playback of that disc.

Digital Output: This setting selects the digital audio data stream that is routed to the Optical Digital Output ¢ or the Coaxial Digital Output ∞. Two choices are available:

•Bitstream, the default setting, outputs the Dolby Digital or DTS signal, as selected from the disc’s menu or by using the Audio Select Button c, as explained on page 30. This setting should be used when your receiver or processor is capable of decoding signals in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

•PCM outputs a standard PCM signal for decoding by receivers or processors that are not capable of decoding a Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream. This set- ting enables 2-channel audio playback or matrix decoding where available.
