Preparation
AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set this unit’s AUDIO options according to the type of
audio system you use.
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connect the
DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an
amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital,
DTS or MPEG decoder.
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when
connected to a two-channel digital stereo amplifi-
er. DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or MPEG will
be automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.
Off (for DTS): If you select “Off”, the DTS signal
is not output through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of han-
dling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice
is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit passes each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-
tation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.
However, you may wish to compress the dynamic
range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into
normal stereo sound.
LOCK (Parental Control)
Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable
for children to view. Many of these discs contain
parental control information that applies to the complete
disc or to certain scenes on the disc. Movies and
scenes are rated from 1 to 8, depending on the area.
DVD video discs may or may not respond to the
parental control setting if the Area code of the disc is
set wrongly. Some discs offer more suitable scenes as
an alternative. Ratings are area dependent.
The parental control feature allows you to block
access to scenes below the rating you input, thereby
preventing your children from being able to view
material you believe is unsuitable.
1. Select “Rating” on the LOCK menu then press B.
2. To access the Rating, Password and Area Code
features, you must input the 4-digit security code
you created.
If you have not yet entered a security code you are
prompted to do so. Input a 4-digit code and press
ENTER (OK). Enter it again and press ENTER
(OK) to verify. If you make a mistake before press-
ing ENTER (OK), press CLEAR (0000).
3. Select a rating from 1 to 8 using the v / V buttons.
1-8: Rating one (1) has the most restrictions and
rating eight (8) is the least restrictive.
Unlock : If you select unlock, parental control is
not active and the disc plays in full.
Note:
If you set a rating for the player, all disc scenes with
the same rating or lower are played. Higher rated
scenes are not played unless an alternate scene is
available on the disc. The alternative must have the
same rating or a lower one. If no suitable alternative
is found, playback stops. You must enter the 4-digit
password or change the rating level in order to play
the disc.
