I Note that when a default subtitle language is
selected, it will be used whenever that lan-
guage is present on the DVD disc being
played. However, when that language is not
present, the language used will be the one
preprogrammed into the disc itself (typically,
that default will be English, but the selection
will vary at the discretion of each disc's pro-
ducer.)
Although the default will set the language that
will be used when the disc is first put into play,
the language may easily be changed at any time
by using the SUBTITLE Button on the remote (see
page 23 for more information).

Rating

This feature disables the playing of some DVDs
(particulary U.S. types) which are unsuitable for
some audiences, for example children. These
DVDs are encoded with a specific rating level. If
the rating level of the disc is higher than the pre-
set in the settings operations described in this
chapter, playback of the disc will be prohibited
unless the password memorized (see below) is
entered.
Note that there is no rating system virtually any
European DVD's (region 2). They will play no mat-
ter how the rating level is set.
Set the rating level in the following way:
1. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote to
select "Rating" in Set Up Menu Display.
2. Press ENTER or ARROW (right), the Rating
Menu as shown below appears, when no pass-
word (see below) has been entered.
3. Press the ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the
remote to select rating level (highest green
highlighted number). As indicated below the
rating scale, all DVD's with a rating level within
the blue number area will require a password
before being played, all those with rating levels
within the green number area will have free
access.
4. Press ENTER. The rating menu will disappear
and rating level selected will be indicated in
the Set Up Menu.
I If any password was memorized (see below),
rating menu is available only after correct
password has been entered.
The rating levels:
The rating system is based on information encod-
ed on the DVD disc being played, so even if
movies carry a rating symbol, the disc may or may
not contain that rating in its software. In addition
to the five standard (MPAA) rating symbols of
"G" (level 2), "PG" (Parental Guidance,
level 4), "PG13" (Parental Guidance and 13 years
old, level 4), "R" (Restricted, level 6) and
"NC17" (from 17 years old, level 7), the DVD 20
will accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as
set by the DVD creators. These additional steps
allow for more critical control of program play-
back for all audiences.
Level 8: All DVDs can be played (Factory
preset).
Level 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/
children can be played.
Level1: DVDs for children can be played,
DVDs for adults/general audiences
are prohibited.

Password

The DVD 20's Password System is used to control
viewing of restricted programs and the capability
to change the password itself and the rating. The
DVD 20 is shipped without a password and with
the settings for the password system unlocked.
The following instructions will show how to add a
password and to lock the settings.
Note that virtually all european DVDs (regio 2) do
not use any rating system and can be played no
matter if the rating level is set or any password is
entered or not.
Important Note:
It's most important that you note the password in
a safe place or remember it reliably as access to
rated discs or rating/password menus or chang-
ing or clearing the password (see below) is not
possible without entering the correct password.
