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 defi ned for DVDs. 

DVD movies 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 specifi c 
scenes, so a disc will play but skip or substitute certain scenes.

OSD (On Screen Display)

This setting controls the ‘pop up’ messages that appear on 
screen.

On

  Pop-up messages are enabled

Off

  No pop-up messages, only menus when required.

Certain messages, such as ‘No Disc’ are always shown 
regardless of how this is set.

TV type

This needs to be set correctly for the type of TV you have and 
the type of display you prefer.

4:3 Letterbox

  Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 

TV, and you prefer to view wide screen movies 
in letterbox format (with black bars at the top 
and bottom)

4:3 Panscan

  Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 

TV, and you prefer to view wide screen movies 
in Pan & Scan format (cropping the sides of 
the image)

16:9

 

Use this setting if you have a wide screen 
(16:9) TV. Material in 16:9 format is displayed 
so as to fi ll the screen.

If you have a 4:3 TV and you have set a preference for Panscan, 
it does not mean you will always see movies in this format, since 
the Panscan display must be supported on that disc.

HQ Video (high quality video)

This setting controls the type of video given out on the 
Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to 
be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it is 
best not to change it. If it gets set incorrectly then the picture 
shown on the TV will have strange colouring.

Component

 

The video output on both the Component video (3 phonos) 
and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.

RGB SCART

 

The video output on both the Component video (3 phonos) 
and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are using RGB 
output via phono connectors, you will also need to use 

COMPOSITE

 as a sync signal.

TV System

This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV 
used in your country. Should you need to change this setting, 
the options are explained below.

NOTE

: PAL and NTSC refer to the video standards used in 

Europe and North America respectively. 

Auto

 

The video output is taken from that recorded on the 
disc. When no movie is playing, the logo screen is 
displayed using the standard from the last movie.

NTSC

 

NTSC discs will be played as NTSC, and PAL discs will 
not play at all, since the unit cannot convert PAL to 
NTSC. This is the best setting to use if your TV can 
only accept NTSC video (this is generally the case in 
North America).
