Regional Coding
Both the TV/DVD unit and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the codes don't match, the disc won't play. This unit's code is region 1.
Using Different
Each disc is programmed

with different features. There are three separate
menu paths that you can
The Disc menu - The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD's menu
system. The contents of each disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what
features are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the
MENU button on the remote.
The DVD's Info Display - The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen
when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It's turned on and
off with the INFO button on the remote.
The DVD's menu system - The DVD's menu system is accessed only when a disc isn't
playing. It appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.
Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example,
if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created
with subtitles. If a menu item is "grayed out" it means that item isn't available.
Loading and Playing Discs
Your TV/DVD unit plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, MP3 discs and CD-R discs.

About the GUIDE Plus+ System
The GUIDE Plus+ system is an interactive on-screen program guide that lists TV
schedules for your area and allows your TV/DVD direct control of a cable box
and/or VCR. You must first set up the GUIDE Plus+ Menu system in order to
view this on-screen program guide (see Chapter 1 for details). Press GUIDE to
bring up the GUIDE Plus+ system.
There are six sections of the GUIDE Plus+ system:

Data
The GUIDE Plus+ system is not available until it completes its first download of
program listings. When the power is turned off', the TV locates a "host channel"
that carries GUIDE Plus+ system data containing program schedule and channel
lineup information. A channel lineup is the list of stations and their respective
channels.
To ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should leave your
TV/DVD off overnight. Downloads occur several times a day. The TV/DVD
must be turned off for GUIDE Plus+ system data to download.
If the TV/D-VD loses power or is unplugged,

Parental Controls and V-Chip
The Parental (2Jntrols menu allows you to program your TV so that children
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental (,bntrols menu involve software inside
your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to {)lock TV programs and
movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children
should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it won't display
certain programs.
Once you {)lock programs,
entering a password.
you or other adults can unblock
programs
by
By default, the software inside your TV is turned "off," so if you don't want to
use this feature, you can just ignore it.
How V-Chip Works
When turned "on," the V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters
send with programs. That code tells the software the program's age-based rating
(TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(-Violence (V), Adult Language (L),
etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program
contains, you will receive the message, "This channel is not approved for
viewing," when you tune to that particular channel.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received
with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based
rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not
Rated," and programs that are considered "unrated" because no code has been
sent by the broadcaster. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can
block are listed in the following table.

Titles
The Raled Titles option lets you determine how your DVD 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 (11is considered a movie
title with the least offensive material).
In order for the Rating Level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with rating information. If
the author of the disc did not encode rating information, then this feature will not work for that
disc.
When in DVD mode, the TV/DVD must be locked in order for it to enforce
