SYSTEM SETUP

This method of navigation, option selection and adjust- ment applies to all menus except for the Video Adjust- ments, which use a different control method due to the need for viewing the on-screen video or the DVD 22’s internal test signal while the settings are being made. See page 20 for more information on changing the Video Adjustments.

Setup Menu

The four submenus within the SETUP menu are where you establish the basic system settings for the DVD 22. 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 DVD player, A/V receiver or surround processor and video display. 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 22.

System Setup Menu

The SYSTEM SETUP submenu is where you establish the control options for the DVD 22 that do not relate to audio or video playback. 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.

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

Display Language: This setting selects the language that will be used for the DVD 22’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, which plays discs without subtitles. To set the player so that subtitles will always play in a specific language when they are available, select from any of the choices shown on the Adjustment Options Line É when adjusting this item, as shown above. If you do not find your pre- ferred language in the list of options, you may select a preferred language by first pressing the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons e during the setting adjust-

ment so that OTHER is highlighted. Press the Enter Button z and then use the Numeric Keys

pto enter the four-digit code listed on page 30 for the desired language. This selects a preferred subtitle language, but it will only be available when the disc being played contains that language. The list of subti- tles 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 language selected during playback using the

Subtitle Button , as described on page 25.

Panel Time-Out: This settings selects the time-out interval for the front-panel Information Display @. The default setting is OFF, which disables this fea- ture so that the front-panel indicators are always illumi- nated. You may also choose five to 20 seconds as the length of time after you press any button on the front panel or remote for the display to go out. To view the displays when they are off, press any button on the remote.

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 x is pressed while a disc is playing. During DVD playback, the status bar shows the current title and chapter, as well as the elapsed or remaining time in the current title. You may program the status bar to remain on-screen for either five or 20 seconds after the Status Button x is pressed. When OFF is selected, the time-out is disabled, and the status bar will remain on the screen until the Status Button x or Clear Button o is pressed.

Parental Control: This setting enables you to restrict viewing to films or other discs encoded with parental control information to a specific level or below, and it also enables you to change the password that must be entered to change the settings for this option. The default setting allows all discs to be played, but you may change the setting so that viewing is controlled within the eight steps, with lower numbers being more restrictive and high numbers allowing more material to be viewed. The steps correspond to the standard MPAA ratings symbols as follows. Additional informa- tion about movie ratings is available online at www.mpaa.org/movieratings.

Step 1 is equivalent to a “G” rating for general audi- ences with material appropriate for all viewers.

Step 2 is an intermediate level between “G” and “PG” rated material.

Step 3 is equivalent to a “PG” rating.

Step 4 is equivalent to a “PG-13” rating.

Step 5 is an intermediate level between “PG-13” and “R” rated material.

Step 6 is equivalent to an “R” rating.

Step 7 is equivalent to an “NC17” rating.

Step 8 allows all discs to be played, regardless of their content rating.

To access the Parental Control settings, press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons e until the current setting on the Parental Control Settings ç line is highlighted and press the Enter Button z. Next, enter the default password by pressing “8888” using the Numeric Buttons p. Finally, use the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons e to highlight the desired parental control level as shown on the Adjustment Options É line as described above. You may also change the password by highlighting NEW PASSWORD, pressing Enter Button z and by following the instructions that appear in the Command Descriptions line.

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.

Screen Saver: This setting controls the activation of a screen saver that prevents the image of the “splash screen” from being “burned” into the face of your video display when a disc is stopped for more than five minutes. If you use the DVD 22 with a plasma dis- play, direct-view CRT set or a CRT-based projector, we strongly recommend that the setting be turned ON.

Show Angle Icon: This setting controls the activation of the Angle Icon. When this setting is turned ON, the Angle Icon, which is a small image of a movie camera, will appear in the upper right corner of the screen when multiple-angle material is available on the disc being played. When the icon appears, press the Angle Button s on the remote to switch between the available views or program material.

Audio Setup Menu

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

As with all setup menus, press the OSD Button ` to activate the main menu screen, and then press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons e so that SETUP is highlighted. Press Enter Button z, and then use the ⁄¤‹ › Navigation Buttons e until the AUDIO SETUP menu is highlighted within a white outline and press the Enter Button z again. Finally, press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons e once more to move the highlight to the Control Settings ç side of the menu screen.
