JBL SCS135P Selecting Menu Languages, Parental Lock and Passwords, By using the Subtitle Button

Configuring the DVD600II DVD Changer

Note that when a default subtitle language is selected, it will be used whenever that lan- guage is present on the DVD disc being played. However, when that language is not present, the language used will be the one prepro- grammed into the disc itself. (Again, typically that default will be English for discs sold in Region 1, but the selection will vary at the discretion of each disc’s producer.)

Although the default will set the language that will be used when the disc is first put into play, the language may easily be changed at any time

by using the Subtitle Button .

If you have no other changes to make after set- ting this default, press the Menu Button z to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or

press the Play/Pause Button to begin or resume playback.

Selecting Menu Languages

The Menu Language option sets the default choice for the language that will be used for the on-screen menu displays. This default setting DOES NOT impact the playback of DVD discs.

To select the Menu Language default, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the Menu Button z while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup

Menu, press the ¤ Button until the Menus option is highlighted.

To change the default Menu Language, press

the › Button and note that the list of system defaults will be replaced with a list of the available options, as shown in Figure 4. The current language choice will be indicated by a filled-in circle in the list on the right side of the screen.

To change the default setting, press the ⁄/ ¤ Buttons y until the desired choice is

highlighted, and then press the Enter Button . Note that the circle for your choice will fill in, and the menu will return to the default listings.

If you have no other changes to make after set- ting this default, press the Menu Button z to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or

press the Play/Pause Button to begin or resume playback.

Parental Lock and Passwords

The DVD600II enables you to control the discs that are viewed by setting a ratings level. When a disc that’s ready to play has a rating level greater than the default, it will not play. To further protect against unauthorized viewing of restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be locked so that only authorized persons (such as a parent) may change the ratings level after a password is entered.

The ratings system is dependent on information encoded into the DVD disc being played so, although most movies will carry an MPAA or other rating symbol, the disc may or may not contain that rating in its software. In addition to the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17, the DVD600II will accommodate a total of eight ratings steps, as set by the creators of the DVD format. These additional steps allow for more critical control of program playback for all audiences.

To select the permitted ratings values, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the Menu Button z while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup

Menu, press the ¤ Button until the Ratings option is highlighted.

To change the default Ratings setting, press the

›Button and note that the list of system defaults will be replaced with a list of the program ratings, as shown in Figure 5. Some ratings will be highlighted in light blue, while others will be highlighted in purple. Discs with a rating in the light blue color band will play with- out any further action by the viewer. Discs with ratings in the purple band will only play after a password is entered.

To change the range of ratings that may be viewed without a password, press the

⁄/ ¤ Buttons y until the desired range

is set, and then press the Enter Button . Note that the circle for your choice will fill in, and the menu will return to the default listings. The listing in the default settings will show the highest rated program that may be viewed with- out entering a password.

If you have no other changes to make after set- ting this default, press the Menu Button z to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or

press the Play/Pause Button to begin or resume playback.

Password Selection and Control Lock

The Password System is used to control viewing of restricted programs and one’s capability to change the password itself. The DVD600II is shipped without a password and with the set- tings for the password system unlocked. The fol- lowing instructions will show how to add a password and to lock the settings.

To set a password or lock the password system, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the Menu Button

zwhile the unit is in the Stop mode. At the

Setup Menu, press the ¤ Button until the Password option is highlighted.

To enter a password, press the › Button and note that the list of system defaults will be replaced with a list of the three password options (Figure 6). If you change your mind and decide not to enter, clear or change a password, press the ‹ Button ` to return to the main menu.

To enter a password, check to make certain that the words “Set Password” are highlighted and

then press the Enter Button . The Enter Password screen will then appear on your video display (Figure 7).
