SYSTEM SETUP

Player Setup Menu

The Player Setup menu contains a number of setup parameters that are normally adjusted only once to establish basic operational settings for the DVD 101.

From the Main menu, use the K/L Navigation Buttons 9 to select the Player menu, then press the N Navigation Button 9 or Enter Button 9 to access the Player menu. The left column shows the items in the menu. The right column shows the current setting of each item.

Parental Control

The DVD 101’s Password System is used to control viewing of restricted programs and the capability to change the password itself and the rating. The DVD 101 is shipped with “8888” as the default pass- word and with the parental control settings off. The following instructions will show how to change the password and lock the settings.

NOTE: The DVD must be specifically encoded with rating information for Parental Control to work.

The Rating Levels

The five MPAA rating symbols are “G” (General, Level 2), “PG” (Parental Guidance, Level 4), “PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, Level 4), “R” (Restricted, Level 6) and “NC 17” (from 17 years old, Level 7). The DVD 101 will accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as set by the DVD creators. These additional steps allow for more critical control of pro- gram playback for all audiences.

Level 8: All DVDs can be played.

Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/children can be played.

Level 1: DVDs for children can be played, DVDs for adults/general audiences are prohibited.

Password

If you change the password from the factory default setting, please remember to write the new password in a safe place. You cannot access rated discs or rating/password menus or change or clear the password (see below) without entering the correct password.

If you forget your password, you can reset the DVD 101 to the factory default password (8888) when the player is in Standby by pressing and holding

the Clear Button for six seconds. NOTE: This will restore all menu settings to the factory default settings. Any changes you have made will be lost.

Enter Password and Setting Level

For disabling the playback of rated DVDs, a password consisting of four digits must be entered.

Select PARENTAL CONTROL in the Player Setup menu, then press the N Navigation Button 9 or Enter Button 9 to access the Parental Control submenu. PASSWORD appears in the right column. Enter the password (the initial password is 8888).

If the password is correct, the following display will appear in the menu:

When the ratings list appears press the K/L Navigation Buttons 9 to select the desired ratings control level. REMEMBER: The lower the number, the higher the restriction. When the level you prefer is high- lighted, press the Enter Button 9 to activate it.

Change Password

After the password was entered or the parental control level was set, use the L Navigation Button 9 to make sure the cursor is pointing to NEW PASSWORD. Enter the new password. The display will change to CONFIRM, requesting that you repeat the new password to confirm that it is correct. If you have correctly entered the new password twice, the dis- play will confirm the change with “OK.” Press the M Navigation Button 9 to exit the level/password submenu.

When all desired adjustments to the Parental Control and Password system have been made, press the Enter Button 9 to record the settings in the unit’s memory and return to the Player Setup menu. Press the L Navigation Button 9 to continue with the setup, or press the M Navigation Button 9 to return to the Main menu.

Display Language

The Display Language menu allows you to select the language in which the DVD 101’s control menus and messages appear. If you do not need to change the setting from the default selection of English, press the

LNavigation Button 9 to move to the next menu item. If you do wish to change the menu language to a choice other than English, make certain that DISPLAY LANGUAGE is highlighted and then press the N Navigation Button 9. The available options will then appear on the right side of the screen.

Use the K/L Navigation Buttons 9 to select the desired option. When you have made your selection, press the M Navigation Button 9 to continue the Player Setup options.
