The relative sensitivity (volume) of different speakers can lead to some speakers sounding disproportionately loud or quiet, relative to others in the system. The trims setting of your DV89 can help to address this inbalance.

Test Noise

Setting this item to ‘On’ causes pink noise to be generated from the speaker indicated by the on-screen highlight. The noise is at the volume indicated by the slider for the speaker. Setting this to ‘On’ may be useful in ensuring that the relative volume for each speaker is the same.

Note that this setting is set automatically to ‘Off’ on exit from this menu page.

Trims

Trims for all the speakers can be set using the associated sliders. These settings are useful if the speakers have different sensitivities (and so have different volumes for the same input levels).

Subwoofer/Stereo+Sub trims

Both the ‘Subwoofer’ and the ‘Stereo+Sub’ trims control the subwoofer trim setting. ‘Subwoofer’ is the trim used when multi-channel material is being played; ‘Stereo+Sub’ is the subwoofer trim used with 2-channel material.

Password

The password setting works in conjunction with the rating setting (the next menu item) to provide a means of limiting content playback by children (parental control).

You will see there are four dashes and a padlock symbol. Normally the padlock symbol will be open and this means the parental control is unlocked. Under this condition the rating setting may be freely changed.

To lock the parental control, choose a suitable four digit number. Don’t forget your password as you will need to know it to unlock the player. Highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number using the numerical keys on the handset.

When all four digits have been entered, press OK on the

handset. The player is now locked and you will not be able to

change the rating setting.

To unlock the parental control, highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number, followed by OK.

NOTE: You can change the password any time you lock the player.

Rating

The rating setting is used in conjunction with the password to restrict the content of DVD titles that may be played. To change this setting the parental control must be unlocked.

The term ‘Parental level’ refers to a standard defined for DVDs. DVD movies may have a parental level between 1 and

8.Note that this only applies to DVD video discs that have the parental level correctly implemented. Some DVD video titles do not respond to parental control settings, and Video CDs have no mechanism for parental control.

View All Titles of all parental levels will be played

No Adult Only material of parental level 4 or less may be played. This corresponds to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) rating of PG-13

Kids Only Only material of parental level 1 may be played.

This corresponds to MPAA rating G.

Once the rating level has been set, DVD titles with parental level higher than the setting will not play. Sometimes DVD video titles may be produced that have the parental level set for specific scenes, so a disc will play but skip or substitute certain scenes.

Completing the set-up

Complete the setup procedure by pressing SETUP on the remote control. This saves all the data and closes the setup menu. You can press SETUP at any time while in a menu to quit from it.

To return to the setup menu at any time, ensure that there is no disc playing and press the SETUP button.
