System setup, cont.

This menu offers you choices for setting up the aspect ratio of the video output. How you set this will depend on the type of display you are using in your system.

The choices are 4:3 (normal) or 16:9 (widescreen). Generally, DVD content uses the widescreen 16:9 format and TV broadcasts use the normal 4: 3 aspect ratio.

Within these formats, the player offers you some choices:

4:3

When viewing DVD content on a montior which is NOT widescreen, users can choose from Letterbox or Pan-and-Scan formats.

Letterbox format is for displaying a

widescreen image on a monitor which is not widescreen format. In this format, the image size is reduced and black bars are added above and below the image. This allows the full width of the screen image to be viewable.

Pan-and-Scan format displays the image at full size, but crops off the right and left side of the image. This permits viewing a larger image, but sometimes eliminates vital parts of the visual program.

For normal (non-widescreen) TV viewing on a monitor which is NOT widescreen,

select Pan-and-Scan, since it offers full height viewing and the image width fits within the normal viewing area since it is not widescreen format.

16:9

Choose this aspect ratio when you are viewing DVD content on a widescreen monitor.

DISPLAY SETUP

This player offers a few options for customizing your listening experience. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to move among the different options, and the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to change the settings for those options.

DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)

This form of audio processing compresses the sound by reducing treble and boosting the level of portions of the audio track which are relatively quiet. This can be useful to make it easier to hear dialogue in a movie when listening at low volume levels.

Speaker Setup

The speaker setup setting options enable you to set the relative volumes and “positions” for the speakers. This helps to correct the spatialization of the sound when the speakers are at different distances to the listener.

AUDIO SETUP



These settings limit the player to only playback movies at or below a movie rating of your choice. It conforms to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) guidelines for rating movie content.

In order to set or later change a rating limit, you must enter a password. The password is a four digit number.

The password set by the factory is 3308.

When you access the menu for the first time, the menu will prompt you to enter this password number.

At this time, you may elect to change the password. If you change the password,

please write it down for later use, since you will not be able to enter the Parental Control Screens without this number.

When you have entered the number you wish to save as a password, press ENTER to save it and proceed to the Ratings menu.

If you make a mistake while programming the password number, press DELETE to start again before you press ENTER.

Setting the rating for permitted movies

There are nine movie rating levels from which you can choose.Choose one which is appropriate for your tastes and press ENTER to confirm your selection.

PARENTAL CONTROLS
