Configuring the DVD600
II
DVD Changer
Note that when a default subtitle language is
selected, it will be used whenever that lan-
guage is present on the DVD disc being played.
However, when that language is not present,
the language used will be the one prepro-
grammed into the disc itself. (Again, typically
that default will be English for discs sold in
Region 1, but the selection will vary at the
discretion of each disc’s producer.)
Although the default will set the language that
will be used when the disc is first put into play,
the language may easily be changed at any time
by using the
Subtitle Button
.
If you have no other changes to make after set-
ting this default, press the
Menu Button
z
to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or
press the
Play/Pause Button
to
begin or resume playback.
Selecting Menu Languages
The Menu Language option sets the default
choice for the language that will be used for the
on-screen menu displays. This default setting
DOES NOT impact the playback of DVD discs.
To select the Menu Language default, you must
be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is
available by pressing the
Menu Button
z
while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup
Menu, press the
¤
Button
until the
Menus
option is highlighted.
To change the default Menu Language, press
the
›
Button
and note that the list of
system defaults will be replaced with a list of
the available options, as shown in Figure 4. The
current language choice will be indicated by a
filled-in circle in the list on the right side of
the screen.

Parental Lock and Passwords
The DVD600
II
enables you to control the discs
that are viewed by setting a ratings level. When
a disc that’s ready to play has a rating level
greater than the default, it will not play. To
further protect against unauthorized viewing of
restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be
locked so that only authorized persons (such as
a parent) may change the ratings level after a
password is entered.
The ratings system is dependent on information
encoded into the DVD disc being played so,
although most movies will carry an MPAA or
other rating symbol, the disc may or may not
contain that rating in its software. In addition to
the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R and
NC-17, the DVD600
II
will accommodate a total
of eight ratings steps, as set by the creators of
the DVD format. These additional steps allow
for more critical control of program playback for
all audiences.
To select the permitted ratings values, you must
be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is
available by pressing the
Menu Button
z
while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup
Menu, press the
¤
Button
until the
Ratings option is highlighted.
To change the default Ratings setting, press the
›
Button
and note that the list of system
defaults will be replaced with a list of the
program ratings, as shown in Figure 5. Some
ratings will be highlighted in light blue, while
others will be highlighted in purple. Discs with a
rating in the light blue color band will play with-
out any further action by the viewer. Discs with
ratings in the purple band will only play after a
password is entered.

To change the range of ratings that may be

until the desired range
is set, and then press the
Enter Button
.
Note that the circle for your choice will fill in,
and the menu will return to the default listings.
The listing in the default settings will show the
highest rated program that may be viewed with-
out entering a password.
If you have no other changes to make after set-
ting this default, press the
Menu Button
z
to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or
press the
Play/Pause Button
to
begin or resume playback.
Password Selection and Control Lock
The Password System is used to control viewing
of restricted programs and one’s capability to
change the password itself. The DVD600
II
is
shipped without a password and with the set-
tings for the password system unlocked. The fol-
lowing instructions will show how to add a
password and to lock the settings.
To set a password or lock the password system,
you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1),
which is available by pressing the
Menu Button
z
while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the
Setup Menu, press the
¤
Button
until the
Password option is highlighted.
To enter a password, press the
›
Button
and note that the list of system defaults will be
replaced with a list of the three password
options (Figure 6). If you change your mind and
decide not to enter, clear or change a password,
press the
‹
Button
`
to return to the main
menu.
To enter a password, check to make certain that
the words “Set Password” are highlighted and
then press the
Enter Button
. The Enter
Password screen will then appear on your video
display (Figure 7).
