selecting it from the TV’s menu system (see table below)
tuning directly to it by pressing a specific channel number
(see table below)
•
going through all of the channels in the channel list by pressing
the channel up or down buttons on the TV.

Helpful Hints about the Remote
Pick the Right Mode
Do you keep pressing the buttons on your remote control and
nothing happens? The most common solution, according to our call
center representatives, is putting the remote in the correct mode.
The remote control packed with your player is able to operate the
DVD player or the television, but you have to tell the remote which
component you want it to operate. If the remote is operating the TV,
it’s in TV mode and if it’s operating the DVD, it’s in DVD mode. So
make sure you press the appropriate component button on the
remote that matches the component you want the remote to operate.
Com pon ent
button s: TV and
DVD
Point the Remote in the Right Direction
Another tip—point the remote at the component. When you want the
remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD
Player not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct
direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote
control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component.
You must make sure there is a clear path between the remote control
and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.

is separate from the player’s menu system. The disc menu may allow
you to change features such as language and playback settings.

disc, the following example should give you a pretty good idea of
what to expect.

How to use your Remote to Move

highlighted item appears brighter than the other options on the
screen.

Rated Titles
This part of DVD Limits lets you determine how your player will react
to discs that contain movies that are rated (in the U.S.A. the Motion
Pictures Association of America rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.).
You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t.
This system ranks the ratings 1 through 8 in order to accommodate
different countries’ ratings systems (1 is considered a movie title with
the least offensive material).
1. Highlight DVD Limits within the Lock menu, and press OK.
Som e titles (m ovies) are rated an d some
are n ot rated. To set th e ratin g limit for

2. Press the right and down arrow buttons to highlight Rated Titles
and press OK. The 8-level grid with rating limits appears.
3. To change the rating limit, press the up or down arrow button.

•
The ratings that require a password appear in the red part of
the block.
4. Press OK. The rating limit appears next to the Rated Titles path
menu.
5. Press CLEAR to return to the main menu or press GO BACK to
return to the previous menu screen.
What if a movie’s rating exceeds the
player’s rating limit?
Example: If you set PG as the highest rating for Free Access (green),
then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (that’s the player’s number
for PG in its 8-level system) and PG for the movie studio’s rating. This
means when the player is locked, it will require you to enter the
password to play any discs that are rated higher than PG (i.e., PG13
or R).
The player alerts you when you try to play a
movie with a rating that exceeds the limit
you’ve set.
Some discs are authored with a rating
override feature included.When you play a
disc with this feature, the message, Override
Limit or Cancel Selection appears on the
screen. If you choose to override the rating
limit, you will need to enter your password to
begin playback.
Note: If th e Ratin g Lim it Feature Doesn ’t Work
In order for the Rating level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with the
proper rating information. If the author of the disc did not encode rating
information, then this feature will not work for that disc.
The DVD Player must be locked in order for it to enforce the settings in the
DVD Limits part of the Lock menu.

Handling Cautions
•
Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn them all off.
•
Do not move the player while a disc is being played, or the disc may be scratched or broken, and the player’s
internal parts may be damaged.
•
•
•
•
Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any small metal objects on the player.
Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.
Do not place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.
Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this occurs,
turn the player off and on again with the ON• OFF button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to
the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.
•
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.
Maintenance of Cabinet
For safety reasons, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
•
•
Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Formation of Condensation
Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold
parts inside the player.
•
When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at
room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.
•
If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft and dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole
toward the outer edge.
Handling Discs
•

•
Do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.
Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.
Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning Discs
•
•
•
Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a
soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove any
water drops with a dry cloth.
Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner,
or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

Programming the Remote
The remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote
controllable TVs. The remote is already programmed to control most
RCA, PROSCAN, and GE TVs.
Testing the remote
To determine whether the remote needs to be programmed, turn the
TV ON, point the remote at the TV, and press the TV button. Then
press POWER or CH ^ (channel up) or CH v (channel down) to see if
the TV responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to
be programmed.
Programming the remote
There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code
search and direct entry.

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to
operate your television. If you want to exit the automatic code search
without programming the TV, press CLEAR until the red light on the
remote turns off.
Red ligh t

2. Press and hold the TV button you want to program. While
holding the TV button, press and hold ON• OFF until the red light
on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the TV. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5
seconds or until the red light on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to
program. If, after 5 seconds, the TV you want to operate does not
turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set
of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the TV turns off or you have
searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of
codes. If the TV does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times,
then the remote cannot be programmed to operate that TV.
You’ll use th ese buttons when you

step until the TV turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the red light on the remote
turns off.
