Using the Initial Settings menu

The Initial Settings menu provides audio and video output settings, parental lock settings, and
display settings, among others.
If an option is grayed out it means that it cannot be changed at the current time. This is usually
because a disc is playing. Stop the disc, then change the setting.
1 Press HOME MENU and select 'Initial
Settings'.
2 Use the cursor buttons and ENTER to select the setting and option you want to set.
All the settings and options are explained on the following pages.
Note
• In the table below, the default setting is shown in bold: other settings are shown in italics.
• The Digital Audio Out settings only need to be set if you have connected the digital output of this
player to an AV receiver, or other equipment.
• Check the operating instructions supplied with your other equipment to see which digital audio
formats it's compatible with.
• Some settings, such as TV Screen, Audio Language and Subtitle Language may be
overridden by the DVD disc. Often these settings can also be made from the DVD disc menu.
