The first time you use the HS 500, it is recommended that you scroll
to the New Password setting and press the Enter Button to enter a new
password. Use the Numeric Keys to enter your new password once at
the New Password prompt, and a second time at the Confirm Password
prompt. See Figures 40 and 41. The HS 500 will return to the screen
shown in Figure 38, and you may then change the Ratings Setting.
Once you press the Enter Button and return to the SYSTEM SETUP
submenu, the new password will take effect.

DISC RECOGNITION: The setting for the Disc Recognition feature,
when turned on, allows you to stop a DVD-Video disc, remove it from
the player, play another disc, and then resume playback of the original
disc at a later time from the point at which you paused. When a previ-
ously played disc is reinserted in the HS 500, you will be presented with
an on-screen status message asking whether you wish to start playback
from the beginning of the disc or resume at the point where you left off.
Even when the setting is activated, you must press the Stop Button
either once (Resume mode) or twice (Stop mode), but not the Pause
Button. The unit may be turned off between discs. The HS 500 can
store the information for up to 100 DVDs at a time.
PBC SUPPORT: This setting controls the activation of PBC (Play Back
Control) Support for VCD discs. If you plan to play VCD discs, which are
a CD-ROM-based format that predates DVD, we recommend that the
setting be turned ON. However, with PBC enabled, the Repeat Track,
Repeat Disc and Random functions may not be available for VCDs.
NOTE: The PBC indicator will light in the front-panel display any
time a VCD encoded with playback control is loaded, regardless
of whether the PBC Support setting has been activated.
SCREEN SAVER: The HS 500 offers a Screen Saver option to protect
your TV or video display from damage that may occur if the player is left
turned on with the same still image for a period of time, as there is a
possibility that the image may be “burned” into some display devices.
This is particularly important for plasma displays and some CRT devices.
Set Screen Saver to ON so that the HS 500 will run the screen saver
when no action has been detected for two minutes. Press a desired
command key on the front panel or remote to “wake” the HS 500 and
resume normal operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the screen cursor is left either on the
Main title line (without selecting a source or the Setup menus)
or on one of the navigation icons on the left side of the screen,
the screen saver will not be activated. Moreover, some discs,
such as DVD-Audio discs and JPEG discs, can leave a still
image displayed indefinitely. Use caution in both of these situa-
tions to avoid causing burn-in on your video display.
SHOW ANGLE ICON: Some DVDs are programmed with multiple-angle
capability, allowing you to view the same scene from a different camera
angle. Normally, the angle icon will be displayed on screen at the
beginning of those sections of the disc to inform you that you may press
the Angle Button to change to a different view. The front-panel Angle
indicator will remain lit for the duration of the sequence containing multi-
ple camera angles. If you find the appearance of the icon on-screen
distracting, select the Show Angle Icon setting in the System submenu,
and set it to OFF.
NOTE: When the on-screen angle icon is disabled, the front-
panel Angle indicator will also be disabled.
