/ buttons to move

tached to the output and select NTSC or
PAL as needed. If you know the type of

monitor, you should choose the type in this
menu rather than letting AUTO SELECT do
it for you. This is because there may be an
undesirable small delay and some fl icker-
ing of the screen during the AUTO-SELECT
process.

SCREEN SAVER

Like a computer monitor, video screens

can “burn in” if a still image is displayed

too long on the screen. This unit features

a “screen saver” which produces a moving
image to avoid burn-in, if SCREEN SAVER

SETTING the TV TYPE

TV types can vary based on their aspect

ratio. The common monitors fall into one of
three categories: 4:3 (PS/Pan and Scan),
4:3 (LB /Letterbox) or 16:9 (Widescreen).
Playing a video recorded in one aspect

ratio on a monitor with a different ratio can

result in some mismatches and undesir-

able display distortion or cutoffs. Read the

following to assist you in setting up the TV
type:

4:3 PS (PAN SCAN)

Select this when connected to a conven­tional 4:3 size monitor. The picture will fi ll
the entire TV screen. However, due to the

mismatch in aspect ratio, parts of the movie

at the extreme left and right sides will not

be visible when playing a 16:9 format

movie.

mode. This player can play discs recorded

More about this player

About parental controls

Commercially-recorded DVD discs have

parental level assignments. The range of
parental controls is from 1 to 8. In general,

this range corresponds to established

movie rating systems. Movie rating sys­tems may vary depending on the country in
which you live. At the bottom of this page

is a chart showing the rating system and

corresponding Parental Control ratings for
the USA.

The player can be set in a similar way. If the

player’s parental level is set to 8 it will play

all discs. If the player’s parental level 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 1-5 will

play. To play a disc with a higher number

rating, you must change the player’s rating
to a higher number.

When you open the DIGITAL SETUP menu,
you will see the DIGITAL SETUP screen:

1) OP MODE: Change among LINE OUT/
RF REMOD.

- LINE OUT: LINE OUT mode, with digital
dialog normalization.

- RF REMOD: RF REMODULATION mode,
with heavy compression and digital dialog
normalization.

2). DYNAMIC RANGE: Change among
FULL, 6/8, 4/8, 2/8, OFF.

3). DUAL MONO: Change among STEREO,
MONO L, MONO R, MIX MONO.

Consider a disc that is suitable for most

audiences, and is rated as level 2 for the
most part. However in the middle there are
also scenes rated at 5 and 7 (not suitable
for children). Alternative scenes with lower
rating are included. The player plays the
highest rated scene that the parental set-

ting allows.

A section of the disc can have several dif-

ferent sequences that vary in parental con-

trol level. In the above example of a disc

with parental control, the player will show a
different section depending on the parental
control level set in the player’s menu.

In this way parents can control the content

of fi lms and there is no indication that any
censorship has occurred.

Playing MP3 discs

What is MP3?

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is a
compression standard prescribed by the
ISO, the International Standardization
Organization and MPEG, which is a joint
activity institution of the IEC.

MP3 fi les contain compressed audio data.
MP3 encoding is capable of compressing
audio data at extremely high ratios,
reducing the size of music fi les to as much
as one-tenth their original size. This is
achieved while still maintaining near-CD
quality. The MP3 format realizes such
high compression ratios by eliminating
the sounds that are either inaudible to the
human ear or masked by other sounds.

Corresponding fi le systems

This device supports discs formatted

with ISO9660 level 1 or level 2. Under
the ISO9660 standard, there are some
restrictions to remember.

The maximum nested folder depth is 8

(including the root directory). The number
of characters for a folder/fi le names are
letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and ‘_’

(underscore).
This device also can play back discs in
Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other standards

that conform to ISO9660. However,

sometimes the fi le names, folder names,

etc., are not displayed correctly.

• Only “baseline” type JPEG images can be
displayed on this player. Ths is the typical
format used in digital cameras and web
cameras.

“Progressive” (typically used for website

display) or “lossless” (an older format
which is rarely used today) JPEG fi les
cannot be played. So be sure you are
saving the fi les in the proper format. If
you play a progressive or lossless JPEG
image, a black screen will appear. When
you next select a baseline image, you may
experience some delays.

Playing MPEG discs

- This unit can play back MPEG 1 or 2 fi les
with the extension code <.mpg>.

- Audio stream should conform to MPEG1
Audio Layer 2.

Frequently asked questions

- I inserted a DVD disc, but it cannot be
played. The message “REGION ERROR”
is displayed.

DVD players and discs all have “REGION
CODES.” If the region code number on the
DVD disc does not correspond to the region
number of this DVD player, the unit cannot
play the disc.

Playing a JPEG disc

When preparing a disc of jpeg images to be
shown using the DVD player, please note
that following guidelines:

• The recommended image size is 640 x
480 pixels. If a fi le is recorded at a higher
resolution, the player must resample it,
which will cause delays in displaying the
image.

BV7300 User’s Manual - page 24

- When I insert a DVD disc, there is a
window shown on the screen for me to
enter a 4 character password. Why?

The current disc has a “Parental Control”

level, and the player’s parental level is set
below the level of the disc. To view this disc,
you should enter the correct password to
play the disc normally.

NOTE:

To set the “Parental Control” level, please

refer to “Parental Control Level” on page 22.
