The relative sensitivity (volume) of different speakers can lead
to some speakers sounding disproportionately loud or quiet,
relative to others in the system. The trims setting of your DV89
can help to address this inbalance.
Test Noise
Setting this item to ‘On’ causes pink noise to be generated
from the speaker indicated by the on-screen highlight. The
noise is at the volume indicated by the slider for the speaker.
Setting this to ‘On’ may be useful in ensuring that the relative
volume for each speaker is the same.
Note that this setting is set automatically to ‘Off’ on exit from
this menu page.
Trims
Trims for all the speakers can be set using the associated
sliders. These settings are useful if the speakers have different
sensitivities (and so have different volumes for the same input
levels).
Subwoofer/Sub trims
Both the ‘Subwoofer’ and the ‘Sub’ trims control the
subwoofer trim setting. ‘Subwoofer’ is the trim used when
multi-channel material is being played; ‘Sub’ is the
subwoofer trim used with 2-channel material.

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.
Completing the set-up
Complete the setup procedure by pressing
SETUP
on the
remote control. This saves all the data and closes the setup
menu. You can press
SETUP
at any time while in a menu to quit
from it.
To return to the setup menu at any time, ensure that there is no
disc playing and press the
SETUP
button.
