FUNCTION SETUP
Rated Titles
DVD discs have parental levels assigned to them. The range of parental controls are from 1 to 8. The player can be set in a
similar way by pressing 
. If the unit’s rating limit is set to 8, it will play all discs. If the player’s rating limit is set below 8, only discs with a lower or equal parental level will play. For example if the player is set to 5, only discs with parental
control ratings of 5,4,3,2 & 1 will play. To play a higher rated disc you must change the unit’s rating to a higher number.

Progressive Scan
By displaying all the lines of a picture simultaneous (instead of displaying odd and even lines alternatively such as a conventional TV), Progressive Scan greatly enhances picture resolution while minimizing distortion and flickering.
To use this feature, your TV must be Progressive Scan compatible with Component Video input jacks connected to the DVD unit.
1.To set it to NTSC unless this function only works when system is in PAL.
2.Select the Progressive Scan option and press OK (or V.Select on the remote control) to activate.
3.A caution message will display. Press OK to continue.
Caution: If you see distorted or no picture after OK is pressed, then check the following:
i)Your TV may not be Progressive Scan compatible. Wait a few seconds and the unit will return to the previous setting before change.
ii)Make sure your TV is connected with Component Video output from the DVD unit and is now switched to view such input through which Progressive Scan signals are transmitted . There will be no video signal from AV output, in case you have both Component Video and AV connections.
4.A message requesting for confirmation will appear on screen. Select Yes (confirm)
or No (return to previous setting) by

Press OK to turn on/off. This controls the Dynamic Range
Compression (DRC) for night time listening. DRC reduces 
ON the difference between normal voices and sounds like explosion
to avoid waking your neighbours. The amount of range control available depends on the disc.
Digital Output
Press OK to check the box if you have connected the unit’s digital audio output to a receiver with Dolby Digital or DTS.
Dimension
Asimple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-channel input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted “forward” to get a better balance.
Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding, it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing result.
Panorama
Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging.
Center Width Control
With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
It’s recommended to set the control to use the position 3 values for the Music mode. This will also help distinguish the Music mode from the Movie mode, which automatically presets the Center-width control to position 0.

Dolby Digital Surround
The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connections of all 5 speakers (front left, center, front right, surround right, surround left) for the correct surround sound reproduction. It creates a realistic sound similar to the theaters and cinemas. A large proportion of DVD discs use this system for sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby Surround decoding. It creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two- channel sources.
This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
3 Stereo
3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound
from a two channel analog signal. It is not a surround format so it does not require surround speakers.
Soundfield Effects
The digital Soundfield Effects recreate the effects of sound reflected from walls or ceilings to obtain the sound presence of real environments.
-Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.
-Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front speakers.
-Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music such as classical and opera.
-Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of music that are played in a disco.
-Live: suitable for all types of music.
