Introduction
Introduction
Your DVD player is equipped with some special features. The following information summarizes some of these
features.
The On-Screen Information Display
The Info Display is a menu bar that you can bring up to access certain features while discs are playing. Icons represent
the different features supported by your DVD player. You can access features including Repeat, Audio, Subtitles and
Camera Angle.
Time Search
The Time Search feature lets you go to a point on a disc by entering the elapsed time in the on-screen time display. For
example, if your favorite scene in a movie is one hour and twelve minutes after the beginning of the movie, you can enter
01:12:00 into the time display and go right to that point in the movie.
Ratings Limits
Your DVD player allows you to set ratings limits and passwords. For example, you can set the DVD player so that any
movie with a PG-13 rating or above requires a password to be entered.
Since not all discs contain ratings, you can also decide if you want to allow free access or require a password to view
unrated discs.

Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet
packed with your DVD player.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it
won’t flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead
of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audio/video cables.
