Setup Menu Figure 7 To enter a password you may either enter the four-digit number directly, using the Numeric Buttons n, or you may use the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Buttons e to select the number for a position, and then press the › Navigation Button e to move to the next position. Note that as each number is entered, it will turn to a solid circle when you move to the next position to protect the password's privacy. When all four numbers of the password have been entered, press the Enter Button `. After the password has been entered once, a second set of data entry boxes will appear, asking you to confirm the entry (Figure 8). Using the same method described earlier, enter the password again. When all four numbers have been repeated, press the Enter Button ` to set the password in the DVD 50's memory. If the two passwords do not agree, an "Incorrect Password" (Figure 9) message will appear to ask you to try entering the number again. Figure 9 Once this password is entered, you will need to use this four-digit number to view a disc when the rating of the disc exceeds the settings entered in the Ratings Menu. If a password has been entered, it is also required when you change the settings range in the Ratings Menu. Finally, the password is required if you wish to unlock the system again to permit access to the Ratings Menu. If you have no other changes to make after setting this default, press the Menu Button 28 to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or press the Play Button g/# to begin or resume playback. Clearing Passwords Once a password has been entered, the system remains locked until the password is cleared. To clear a password so that the ratings may be changed or to permit any movie to be viewed regardless of ratings, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the Menu Button 28 while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the ¤ Navigation Button e until the Password option is highlighted. As the system is locked, you will first be asked to enter the password previously set (Figure 7). Enter that password using the Numeric Buttons n and then press the Enter Button `. Figure 8 To clear the password lock once you have entered the correct password, press the ¤ Navigation Button e once so that the circle next to the word "Clear" is filled in orange and press the Enter Button `. Note that the selection options will revert to Set only, as the password system is now deactivated. The Parental Lock Indicator Q will also go out to show that the unit has returned to normal, password-free, operation. If you have no other changes to make after setting this default, press the Menu Button 28 to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or press the Play Button g/# to begin or resume playback. Changing the Password If you feel that the password has become known to an unauthorized person, you may change the password without unlocking the system. To change a password, you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is available by pressing the Menu Button 28 while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the ¤ Navigation Button e until the Password option is highlighted. As the system is locked, you will first be asked to enter the password previously set. Enter that password using the Numeric Buttons n and then press the Enter Button `. To change the password, press the ¤ Navigation Button e so that the circle next to the word "Change" is orange. Next, press the Enter Button `. On the next screen that appears (Figure 7), enter the new four-digit password directly by using the Numeric Buttons n, or you may use the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Buttons e to select the number for a position, and then press the › Navigation Button e to move to the next position. Note that as each number is entered, it will turn to a solid circle when you move to the next position to protect the password's privacy. When all four numbers of the password have been entered, press the Enter Button `. After the password has been entered once, a second set of data entry boxes will appear, asking you to confirm the entry (Figure 8). Using the same method described above, enter the password again. When all four numbers have been repeated, press the Enter Button ` to set the password in the DVD 50's memory. If the two passwords do not agree, an "Incorrect Password" message (Figure 9) will appear to ask you to try entering the number again. Once the new password has been entered, the system remains locked with the new password in effect. If you have no other changes to make after setting this default, press the Menu Button 28 to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or press the Play Button g/# to begin or resume playback. Aspect Ratio The aspect ratio of a television picture is the relationship between its width and height, and it defines the shape of the picture. Television sets have traditionally had an aspect ratio of 4 x 3, which is to say that they are almost square, with slightly more width than height. Almost all television programming is presented in the 4 x 3 aspect ratio so that the pictures fit within the confines of the TV screen. Movies, on the other hand, have a variety of what are known as "wide aspect ratio" formats that are significantly wider in relation to their height than traditional television pictures. Indeed, the development of wide-screen movies was something that was popularized in the 1950's in response to the success of television; movie producers wanted to provide a wider vista than afforded by TVs. 21 SETUP MENU
