Preferences (underlined options are the factory default settings)
Audio
 Select the preferred audio language for DVDs with multiple 
sound tracks.  
Subtitle
 Select the preferred subtitle language for DVD playback.
Disc Menu
 Select the preferred disc menu language for DVD playback.
Note:  If the selected audio/subtitle/disc menu language is not available on 
the DVD, the disc’s default language will be used instead.
Parental
 This is to prohibit viewing of discs that had exceeded the limits 
you set. It works only on the DVDs with parental level assigned 
to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. 
1) Use ST keys to select a rating level from 1 to 8 and press 
OK.  
2) Use the numeric keypad 0-9 on the remote control to 
enter your six-digit password.
Notes:  
–  The ratings are country-dependent (‘1’ is considered material that is 
least offensive and ‘8’ is most offensive). To disable parental controls and 
allow all discs to play, select ‘8’.
–  Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the movie rating 
may be printed on the disc cover. The rating level feature does not 
prohibit playback of such discs. VCD, SVCD and CD have no level 
indication, so parental control has no effect on these type of discs.
–  DVDs that are rated higher than the level you selected will not be 
played unless you enter the same six-digit password. 
PBC
 Play Back Control feature is applicable for VCD/SVCD only. It 
allows you to play Video CDs (2.0) interactively, following the 
menu on the display.  
{ On }   –  The index menu (if available) appears on the 
TV when you load a VCD/SVCD.
{ Off }   –  The VCD/SVCD skips the index menu and 
playback directly from the beginning.
