In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna

(supplied) is sufficient.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to AM and GND. Place the

antenna in a location (for example, on a shelf or window

frame) that gives the best reception.

1. Use a flat or Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on

the supplied transformer.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire

system, speaker cords and the power cord to prevent

unwanted noise.

2. Place the metal connectors on the end of the T-type

antenna’s base on the transformer’s metal contacts

(underneath the screw heads) then tighten the screws.

AM Outdoor Antenna

3. Plug the transformer into ^{ANTENNA FM 75}Ω.

4. Extend the T-antenna’s other two wires and attach them to

a wall or window frame for the best possible reception.

If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient

reception, use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).

Note: If you have an FM antenna that uses coaxial cable,

connect it directly to ^{ANTENNA FM 75}Ω.

Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5 m) long. Strip one

end, and connect that end to AM.

FM Outdoor Antenna

String the antenna wire outdoors or indoors near a window.

For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable

ground.

In an area where FM signals are weak, you must use a 75-ohm

unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna (not supplied).

Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient. If you live in

• Do not place discs on top of the receiver.

• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound

SETTING A RATING LEVEL AND PASSWORD

You can prohibit the playing of specified DVDs which are

unsuitable for children. Some DVD discs contain a restriction

level which enables parents to remove scenes or prevent

playback of discs by children. Your DVD player has a password

device designed to prevent children from changing the level.

If you change the rating level to 7 or lower, you must enter a 4-

digit password to access playback of discs with higher ratings.

To set this password, follow these steps.

Note: Remove this page and store it in a safe location where

children cannot find it.

1. Press DVD SET UP.

2. At the setup screen, press 9 to select F7IIMEH:, then

press ENTER.

SELECTING A RATING LEVEL

3. Type a 4-digit password into EB:. (For example, 1234).

4. Type a new 4-digit password into D;M, then press ENTER.

Important: Do not forget your password.

Your DVD player has eight rating level settings. Level 1

provides the strictest viewing restrictions. Restrictions decrease

as the level number increases.

Note: If your DVD is not encoded with a rating, the Rating

Level feature does not work.

Clearing Your Password

If you forget your password, you can clear the current

password.

1. Press DVD SET UP.

2. At the setup screen, press 8 or 9 to select H7J?D=, then

At the SETUP screen, press 9 to select H7J?D=, then press

ENTER.

press ENTER.

Note: The password is preset to 1234. The rating is preset

to KDBE9A.

Enter the default password (2580), then press ENTER. Your 4-

digit password is cleared.

3. Enter a password and press ENTER.

4. Repeatedly press ENTER to select the desired level.

To set a new password, follow the Steps in “Setting a

Password”.

You cannot play DVD video discs rated higher than the

level you selected unless you cancel the parental lock

function. For example, when you select level 7, discs rated

higher than level 7 are blocked and cannot be played.

5. Press DVD SET UP to exit.

Important: Some DVDs prompt you for a password if they have

a higher rating than the level you set. If you get this prompt,

enter your password. DVDs that do not have the prompt

display F7H;DJ7BýL?EB7J?ED. You reset the rating level to a higher

level before you can play the desired DVD (see “Selecting a

Rating Level”).

Notes:

• Some DVD discs are not encoded with a rating though the

movie rating is printed on the disc jacket. The rating level

feature does not work for such discs.

• If you change the level and enter a password, playback of

all DVDs with ratings higher than your selection will be

blocked, unless you enter the correct password again. For

example: if you change the level to 5, the DVD player will

not play discs with ratings of 6, 7, or 8 unless the correct

password is entered from the remote control.
