Each of the five setup pages contains settings for different LinkTheater functionality:
Option Settings Menu
Screen Saver – Specify the amount of time before LinkTheater
switches its display to a screen saver. Some displays and TVs can
suffer screen burn if the same image is displayed for too long. The
screen saver helps protect your display or TV from this burn-in.
Slide show Timer – The default time between slides when running a
photo or image slide show off of the LinkStation, the USB Port, or the
DVD Drive.
Dimmer – Specifies how bright the LED Display on the front of
LinkTheater should be. There are three settings (100%, 50%, and
OFF).
100% is the brightest display level, while OFF makes the
display invisible.
Subtitle – Specify the default subtitle language for LinkTheater. This applies only where applicable subtitles are
available (like DVD or VCD playback). If you do not wish to use subtitles, then set the subtitles to 'Off'. If you ever
need to quickly enable subtitles, the 'Subtitle' button on the remote control can quickly enable or disable subtitles.
Browser Option – Specifies whether or not to run the LinkTheater browser in high-definition mode. This setting
should typically only be checked if you are running a high-definition (720p or 1080i) TV or Display. It greatly enhances
the way the menus and browsers look while operating the LinkTheater. After this option is enabled, LinkTheater will
have to be restarted before the setting takes effect.
NOTE: Some 480p progressive scan displays may benefit from enabling this option.
Once all of the settings on this page have been applied, press the 'Save' button. You may be prompted to restart
LinkTheater.
DVD Settings Menu
VCD PBC – Specifies whether VCD playback control is enabled. Usually this should be set to 'On'.
DVD Parental Level – Specifies whether DVD parental control is activated or not and to what degree. Some
DVDs enforce parental management levels, allowing players to play only DVDs that meet specific requirements.
Parameters for level settings are as follows:
Off – Do not enforce any parental control (allows unrated movies to play)
1 – Acceptable for children of all ages (allows G rated movies to play)
2-3 – Acceptable for elementary children (allow most PG rated movies to play)
4-7 – Acceptable for middle school and high school children (allow most PG13 rated movies to play)
8 – Acceptable for adults (allows most NC-17 and R rated movies to play)
TV Type – Select the aspect ratio that matches your TV or display.
A 16:9 ratio is recommended for wide-screen monitors, while the 4:3
setting is best for a conventional TV or display.
Auto Play – If Auto Play is on, LinkTheater will automatically play disks
when they're inserted into the DVD drive. If Auto Play is turned off, you
will be required to select the DVD disc from the main Home screen
whenever you want to play a DVD.
Audio Setting – Specifies whether LinkTheater outputs analog
(composite) or digital audio. If you're using composite RCA audio
cables then leave this setting at 'Stereo Output'. If you used a digital
audio cable, whether coaxial or optical, select the 'AC3 5.1' output. A
digital connection allows for Dolby 5.1 surround sound and DTS surround sound playback.
