24SETTING UP YOUR D 200 continued

OTHER SETUP

The OTHER SETUP page contains a number of setup options to help you get the most from your D 3. These settings are not required for basic operation, and you may prefer to make these settings later, or not at all.

ANGLE MARKER

Some DVDs contain scenes which have been shot si- multaneously from multiple camera angles. The ANGLE MARKER setting determines if the angle symbol “” is displayed when an alternate viewing angle is available. The same scene can be viewed from each of these different angles in DVDs that include these special

features. The recorded angles differ depending on the disc used. During playback of the scene which was recorded from multiple camera angles, press the ANGLE button on the remote handset if you see the angle symbol “” on your TV. You will never see this symbol if the ANGLE MARKER option is set to NO.

SCREEN SAVER

Some TVs may have an image “burned” into its screen if a static picture is displayed continu- ously for a long time in the stop or pause mode. To prevent this, set the SCREEN SAVER to ON. With the screen saver on, the D 200 will automatically activate the screen saver function if a static picture is displayed for over 5 minutes. Please note that “burn in” is most common on CRT and Plasma TVs and therefore the screen saver should always be turned on with these TV types.

PARENTAL

This feature is used to restrict playback of DVD movies that contain scenes with language or violence that are inappropriate for young people. Set the PARENTAL level to the rating you wish to allow others to view on your D 200. Discs with ratings that exceed the PARENTAL setting will not be playable.

PASSWORD

This allows the default password to be changed to something you can more easily remember. The D 200 comes from the factory with the password set to “3308.” If you forget your password enter the code 3308, then change the password to a new one. Make a note of the new password in a secure location.

MOMENTARY OSD

This determines if the OSD (On Screen Display) appears on your TV screen when changing DVD chapters, pausing, etc. Turn the MOMENTARY OSD to OFF if you do not want your D 200 to display any status information on your TV.

BACKGROUND

This allows you to select the background color on your TV screen when playing CDs and when the D 200 is stopped. The options are BLUE, BLACK and LOGO. LOGO is the Parasound logo screen.

RESTORE DEFAULT?

If you select this, it will cancel all of your menu settings and return your D 200 to the original factory default settings. You will lose all the settings you have made.
