GENERAL

Select language preferences, TV standards, file navi- gation style and parental controls.

TV TYPE: Set to match your TV. In the USA, the TV standard is NTSC (default).

AUDIO: Selects the priority language (when available) for the disc audio track. You may choose English (default), French, Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese.

SUBTITLE: Selects the priority language for subtitles when supported by the disc.

DISC MENU: Selects the priority language of the disc menus when supported by the disc.

LOCALE: Selects between the different parental lock standards of USA (default), China, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and Great Britain.

PARENTAL: You may select a specific rating level which will require a password to view. The default is No Parental, which will play all DVDs regardless of rating.

ANGLE MARK: With Angle Mark on, the OSD will dis- play the number indicating the angle selected when playing a DVD with multiple camera angles.

CAPTIONS: When OFF, Subtitles are off by default and may be selected using the remote control. When ON, Subtitles are normally on, but may be turned off using the remote.

SCREEN SAVER: The AVS550 automatically activates a “bouncing ball” screen saver after a few minutes of inactivity. This will prevent burn-in of an image to a CRT-based, LCD, or Plasma TV. DLP based TV’s are more resistant to burn-in and do not normally require the screen saver. Although we do not recommend it, you may turn the “bouncing ball” screen saver off. If you decide to defeat the Screen Saver, do not leave the player on for an extended time on any paused scene, photo, or the AVS550’s logo screen.
