DVD Menu System
The Display Menu
The Display menu contains the settings that affect
how a disc’s content looks on your TV and the
brightness of the display that’s on the front of the
DVD Player.
TV Image
The TV Image menu adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV.
Standard TVs are 4 x 3 format. Depending on the type of television
you have, you may want to adjust the screen setting (also called
the aspect ratio).
1. With the player on (no disc playing), press MENU (the main
menu appears).
2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight Display. Press
the OK button on the remote (the Display choices appear).
3. Since the TV Image is the first submenu, it’s already highlighted. Press the OK button (the TV Image options appear).
4. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight your choice (the
options are explained below), and press OK to select.
4 x 3 Pan & Scan – Choose this setting if you want the movie to
fill the entire screen of your TV. This might mean that parts of the
picture (the left and right edges) won’t be seen. Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion. This
means the black bars will appear at the top and the bottom of the
screen.
4 x 3 Letterbox – Choose this setting if you want to see movies in
their original aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio). You’ll see the
entire frame of the movie, but it will take up a smaller portion of
the screen vertically. The movie might appear with black bars at
the top and bottom of the screen.
16 x 9 – Choose this setting if your DVD Player is connected to a widescreen TV. If you choose this settng and
you don’t have a widescreen TV, the images on the
screen might appear distorted due to vertical compression. If you play a disc recorded in 4 x 3 format on a
widescreen TV, the left and right side of the screen will
appear black.
DVD Menu System
Setting Rated Title and Unrated
Title
The Rating Limits feature lets you determine what
types of discs can be played in the player, and what
types of discs will require a password to override
the rating limit that you’ve set. In the U.S., the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by the
MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America)
such as R, PG, G, etc.
The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to
accomodate ratings systems used in other countries
(1 is considered material that is least offensive and
8 is considered the most offensive).
Note: In order for the Ratings to be enforced, the
DVD Player must be locked and the disc you’re playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.
To set Ratings:
1. From the main menu, highlight Lock and press
OK (enter your password if asked).
2. Highlight Ratings and press OK.
Rated Titles: most discs that contain movies
shown in theatres have a rating assigned to
them (R, PG-13, PG, G, etc.), but some discs contain titles (or movies) that aren’t rated.
Unrated Titles: discs that contain titles that don’t
have a rating assigned to them. Sometimes,
movies you might find the most explicit are
unrated.
3. To set the ratings for Rated Titles, press OK
(since the screen appears with Rated Titles
already highlighted). The 8-level rating list
appears.
4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to move
the bar to the rating level you find acceptable.
Ratings that don’t require a password (free
access) appear under the bar.
Ratings that require a password appear above
the bar.
Press OK.
5. To set ratings for Unrated titles:
Follow the previous steps, but highlight Unrated
Titles in step 3.

the equipment that you connected to your DVD Player, and to

Angle icon, you won’t be able to change the camera angle unless the disc was created with different
camera angles). Also, if one of the icons is “grayed
out,” the Info Display feature isn’t available for the

Playing Discs (mp3)
Playing mp3
Discs
mp3 (MPEG-3, which
stands for Motion Picture Experts Group-Layer 3,
meaning the third layer of information) is a format
used to compress digital audio. Since the audio is
compressed, it takes up less space.
Obtaining mp3 Files
There are two ways to obtain mp3
files:
• Use your computer software to encode mp3
files from an audio CD — you can download
the software from some internet sites such as
MusicMatch.
• Download mp3 files from the internet. Some
internet sites allow you to download mp3 files
for free, and some charge a fee.
Creating an mp3 Disc on Your
Computer
Your DVD player handles MPEG-1, layer III audio. If
you encode your own mp3 files from an audio CD,
avoid using the features of MPEG-2,such as the
22kHz sampling frequency.
Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD.
If you make an audio CD,you will lose the extra features and compression of the mp3 format.
When you burn a CD, take the following steps to
get optimal use of the CD for playing in your DVD
player. In your CD burning software, select ISO-9660
for the file system.
Notes:
Help — For more information regarding mp3
encoding software and mp3 sites, visit www.lyrazone.com.
The Joliet file system is not recommended. Using the
Joliet file system may result in shortened file names.
Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward)
are not available for mp3 CDs.

Playing Discs (Audio CD / Video CD)
Video CDs (VCDs)
Video CDs contain audio and video content just like DVD discs, but they are created in
a different format and don’t hold as much information as DVD discs. The picture quality on a VCD isn’t as high as the picture quality on a DVD disc.
VCDs are divided into tracks and titles. Because VCDs contain less information than a
DVD disc, some of the features of your DVD Player might not work with some VCDs.
Time display Track PlayBack Control Audio Repeat
Using the Playback features
While you’re playing a VCD, press INFO on the remote (the on-screen Info Display shown above appears on
the screen).
For playback options, please refer to DVD section for more details.
Bookmarks
The Bookmark feature lets you
mark a point on the disc so
that when you turn the player
off and back on (without having ejected the disc), you can
quickly start playing the disc
from a bookmarked point.
The Bookmark Feature is explained in the DVD part
of this chapter.
IntroScan
Use the IntroScan feature to
preview the first few seconds of
each track on the CD.
1. While the CD is playing,
press INFO (the Info Display
appears).
2. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the
IntroScan icon.
3. Press OK (the first few seconds of each track
starts playing). To stop IntroScan, press the
STOP button.
The mp3 Display
mp3 discs contain individual songs that can be
organized into folders — similar to how you use your
computer to put documents (files) into different
folders when you burn them onto the CD. The contents of a folder can either be songs or more folders
(subdirectories).
Selecting Folders and Songs
Playback begins automatically when you insert an
mp3 disc into the player. The player will begin playing the songs in the order they were burned on the
disc.
1. To open a folder when a disc is playing, use the
arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the
folder and press OK (the songs in the folder
appear).
2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight
the song you want from the song list. To start
