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.

Not applicable

Audio Delay

Normal

This section allows you to configure the type of analogue and digital audio
outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs to be set correctly if
you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter.

AUDIO

Two different types of digital output are supported: ‘Bitstream/2Ch’ and
‘PCM/2Ch’.
The ‘

Bitstream’ setting supports the following audio standards:

2 channel PCM (on CDs or DVDs)

Dolby Digital

MPEG multi channel

DTS multi channel

Use the Bitstream setting if you have an external decoder that supports
Dolby Digital.
Stereo PCM: When the ‘PCM/2Ch’ digital output is selected, all audio
material played is down-mixed to stereo and output as stereo PCM.
Use this setting if you have an external D-A converter that supports
only 2-channel PCM.
Note that the analogue output is muted when a DTS soundtrack is
played, since DTS is not decoded.

DOWN-SAMPLE

This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio
decoder, receiver or D-A converter.

Max 96K

Choose this option if your external audio
decoder is able to process digital audio with
a sample rate of up to 96kHz, or if you are
not using the digital audio outputs. This is the
maximum sample rate present on DVD-video
discs.

Max 48K

Choose this option if your external audio
decoder is unable to process digital audio with a
sample rate of up to 96kHz.

Note that this setting is relevant only to the output from DVD-video
discs.

PRO LOGIC

This item is not applicable for the DV27, and should not be changed.

AUDIO DELAY

Because the progressive scan processing takes several pictures (frames)
to produce a higher quality output, the audio signal needs to be delayed
so that video and audio remain synchronized.
The audio delay needs to be set according to whether you are using
standard outputs, or the progressive output from your DV27.

Normal

Choose this setting if you are using one of the
standard video outputs.

Progressive

Choose this setting to watch video via the
progressive video output of the DV27.
