How to Find Your TV’s Video Input Channel  
You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel (or S-Video  
Channel if you connected the S-Video cable to your TV and to your  
DVD Player) to see the DVD Players menu and to see the content  
thats on a disc. The video channel on TVs varies for different brands  
and different models. Below are some things to try.  
If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press the TV button  
on the remote that came with your DVD Player. Then press the  
INPUT button on the remote.  
If you have another brand, consult your TV Owners Manual.  
If those options dont work, try the following ideas. You might access  
the Video Input Channel by:  
pressing a button on the remote (see table below)  
selecting it from the TVs 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,  
its in TV mode and if its 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

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 dont.  
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  
rated m ovies, h igh ligh t Ra ted Titles an d

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 dont require a password (free access) appear  
in the green part of the block.  
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 movies rating exceeds the  
players rating limit?  
Example: If you set PG as the highest rating for Free Access (green),  
then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (thats the players number  
for PG in its 8-level system) and PG for the movie studios 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  
youve 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

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 players  
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.

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.  
Youll use th ese buttons when you
