Chapter 4: Menu System
Notes:
Discs are created differently. The
DVD player can’t override some
language preferences. If a disc’s
software was created to play
the movie (title) in a preferred
language, the preference you set
might be ignored.
Also, if the language isn’t
available on the movie you’re
playing, the disc’s default
language will be chosen. You
must turn on the Subtitle feature
in order for them to appear when
you’re playing a disc. If the disc
wasn’t created with subtitles, you
won’t be able to use the Subtitle
feature.
If the disc wasn’t created with
the Subtitle language you chose
in the Subtitles menu, the discs
default subtitle language will be
chosen.
The DVD Player Menu System
The DVD player menu system is not the same as the disc menu or the Info Display. The DVD
player menu comes up if you press SETUP when no disc is playing. If a screensaver is on the screen,
press STOP or CLEAR.
Use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight different menu items. Use the OK button to select
a menu that is highlighted.
To exit the main menu, press the SETUP button again or press EXIT.

Rating
You can set up ratings limits and lock your player in order to control the type of content people
watch on your DVD recorder. The Password setting indicates whether the parental controls are on or
off (locked or unlocked).
On: You need to enter the password in order to play discs that have a higher rating than what you’ve
allowed. When the player is locked, nobody can access the Rating menu without entering the
password.
Off: No password required to play discs. Even if you’ve set ratings limits, they won’t be enforced
when the player is unlocked.

Explanation of Rating Limits
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 Picture Association of
America) such as R, PG, G, etc.
The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accommodate 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 recorder must be locked and
the disc you’re playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.
Unrated Titles
Some discs contain titles (or movies) that don’t have a rating assigned to them. Sometimes, movies
you might fi nd the most explicit are unrated. However, much of the new programming on discs,
such as interviews with actors and directors, is also unrated. Additionally, the discs you use to record
(DVD+R and DVD+RW) are considered unrated.
