ACCESS SETTING

PASSWORD
The password setting works in conjunction with the rating setting (the
next menu item) to provide a means of limiting content playback by
children (parental control).
You will see there are four dashes and a padlock symbol. Normally
the padlock symbol will be open and this means the parental control
is unlocked. Under this condition the rating setting may be freely
changed.
To lock the parental control, choose a suitable four digit number.
Don’t forget your password as you will need to know it to unlock the
player. Highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number using the
numerical keys on the handset.
When all four digits have been entered, press
OK
on the handset. The
player is now locked and you will not be able to change the rating
setting.
To unlock the parental control, highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four
digit number, followed by
OK
.
NOTE : You can change the password any time you lock the
player.
RATING
The rating setting is used in conjunction with the password to restrict
the content of DVD titles that may be played. To change this setting the
parental control must be unlocked.
The term ‘
Parental level
’ refers to a standard defined for DVDs. DVD
movies may have a parental level between 1 and 8. Note that this
only applies to DVD video discs that have the parental level correctly
implemented. Some DVD video titles do not respond to parental
control settings, and Video CDs have no mechanism for parental
control.
View All Titles of all parental levels will be played
No Adult Only material of parental level 4 or less may be
played. This corresponds to the MPAA (Motion
Picture Association of America) rating of PG-13
Kids Only Only material of parental level 1 may be played.
This corresponds to MPAA rating G.
Once the rating level has been set, DVD titles with parental level higher
than the setting will not play. Sometimes DVD video titles may be
produced that have the parental level set for specific scenes, so a disc
will play but skip or substitute certain scenes.
AUDIO SETUP
Audio 3/4
Audio Bitstream/2 Ch.
Down-sample Max 48K
Pro Logic Not applicable
Audio Delay Normal
This section allows you to configure the type of analogue and digital audio
outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs to be set correctly if
you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter.
AUDIO
Two different types of digital output are supported: ‘Bitstream/2Ch’ and
‘PCM/2Ch’.
The ‘
Bitstream ’ setting supports the following audio standards:
 2 channel PCM (on CDs or DVDs)
 Dolby Digital
 MPEG multi channel
 DTS multi channel
Use the Bitstream setting if you have an external decoder that supports
Dolby Digital.
Stereo PCM : When the ‘PCM/2Ch’ digital output is selected, all audio
material played is down-mixed to stereo and output as stereo PCM.
Use this setting if you have an external D-A converter that supports
only 2-channel PCM.
Note that the analogue output is muted when a DTS soundtrack is
played, since DTS is not decoded.
DOWN-SAMPLE
This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio
decoder, receiver or D-A converter.
Max 96K Choose this option if your external audio
decoder is able to process digital audio with
a sample rate of up to 96kHz, or if you are
not using the digital audio outputs. This is the
maximum sample rate present on DVD-video
discs.
Max 48K Choose this option if your external audio
decoder is unable to process digital audio with a
sample rate of up to 96kHz.
Note that this setting is relevant only to the output from DVD-video
discs.
PRO LOGIC
This item is not applicable for the DV27, and should not be changed.
AUDIO DELAY
Because the progressive scan processing takes several pictures (frames)
to produce a higher quality output, the audio signal needs to be delayed
so that video and audio remain synchronized.
The audio delay needs to be set according to whether you are using
standard outputs, or the progressive output from your DV27.
Normal Choose this setting if you are using one of the
standard video outputs.
Progressive Choose this setting to watch video via the
progressive video output of the DV27.
