PREFERRED SUBTITLE LANGUAGE: This setting selects the language

used for the display of subtitles. The default setting is OFF, to play discs

without subtitles. To set the player so that subtitles will always play in a

specific language when they are available, select from the choices

shown.

If you do not find your preferred language in the options list, you may

select a preferred language by first pressing the

‹/› Buttons so that

UNKNOWN or OTHER is highlighted in the options list. Press the Enter

Button, and you will be prompted to enter a four-digit language code.

See Figure 34. Select the code for the desired language from the list

in Table A14 in the Appendix, and use the Numeric Keys to enter the

code, then press the Enter Button.

Figure 36 – Entering a Code for a

Subtitle Language

This procedure selects a preferred subtitle language, but it will only be

available when the disc being played contains that language. The list of

subtitles available on any given disc is always shown on the disc jacket,

usually at the bottom of the back cover. The subtitles may also be

switched on or off, or a new language selected during playback using

the Subtitle Button.

If you have selected a subtitle language and subtitles do not appear on

screen, press the Subtitle Button to display the Subtitle banner. Press

the Enter button to display the subtitle language options available on

the disc. Use the

‹/› Buttons to select the desired option, and press

the Enter button. Then use the

‹/› buttons to navigate to the Done

button, and press Enter to clear the banner from the screen.

If subtitles still do not appear, press the Disc Menu Button to make

sure that subtitling has been selected in the disc’s menu system. See

Figure 32.

NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored,

the subtitle languages displayed by the HS 500 may not accu-

rately reflect the actual languages available on the disc. It is

recommended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.

PANEL TIME-OUT: This setting allows you to select the length of time

the Front-Panel Display remains lit during disc playback (as some people

find the front-panel display distracting while a movie is playing). You may

program the HS 500 to refresh the front-panel display only when a

button is pressed on the remote or front panel, and to turn the display

off again after either five or 20 seconds. When the display is off, the

blue Power Indicator will remain lit to remind you that the unit is turned

on. When the Panel Time-Out setting is set to “Off,” the display remains

lit at all times.

STATUS BAR TIME-OUT: This setting selects the timeout interval for

the on-screen Status Bar that appears at the top of your video screen

when the Status Button is pressed while a disc is playing. During DVD

playback, the status bar shows the current title and chapter, playback

mode, the elapsed or remaining time in the current chapter or title, a

setting to adjust the time display, and a temperature bar for the time

display.

You may program the status bar to remain on screen for either five or

20 seconds after the Status Button is pressed. When OFF is selected,

the timeout is disabled, and the status bar will remain on the screen until

the Status Button or Clear Button is pressed. We strongly recommend

programming the Status Bar to disappear on its own to avoid burning

its image into a plasma or CRT display.

PARENTAL CONTROL: The HS 500’s password system allows you to

restrict viewing of certain materials that may not be suitable for younger

members of the household by requiring the viewer to enter a password

to view those materials. The system is based on rating information

encoded in some DVDs that classifies materials into eight levels, roughly

corresponding to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)

voluntary ratings system:

Level 1G: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “G” (General Audiences) rating,

and is considered suitable for all viewers.

Level 2: Intermediate level between the “PG” and “G” ratings.

Level 3PG: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “PG” (Parental Guidance) rating.

Level 4PG13: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “PG-13” (Parental

Guidance and 13 years old) rating.

Level 5: Intermediate level between the “R” and “PG-13” ratings.

Level 6PG-R: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “R” (Restricted) rating.

Level 7NC17: Corresponds to the MPAA’s “NC-17” (17 years and

older) rating.

Level 8Adult: All DVDs, including adult materials, can be played.

Off: Any DVD may be viewed without entering the password.

The HS 500 is shipped from the factory with the parental control system

unlocked (no password is required to view any DVD), and with the

password set to the four-digit code “8888.” To activate the system,

highlight the Parental Control Setting on the SYSTEM SETUP submenu,

and press the Enter Button. You will be prompted to enter the four-digit

password. See Figure 37.
