•H Position: Use the up- or down-arrow buttons ( , ) to highlight H Position. Then, use
the right-arrow button ( ) to shift the image to the right; use the left-arrow button ( )

•V Position: Use the up- or down-arrow buttons ( , ) to highlight V Position. Then, use

the image down.
•H Size: Use the up- or down-arrow buttons ( , ) to highlight H Size. Then, use the
right-arrow button ( ) to increase the width; use the left-arrow button ( ) to decrease
it.
•Phase: Adjust the phase if the image shows shimmer or “horizontal” noise. Pixel phase
adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. The effect of
this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a VCR.
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern
of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. (You may notice
that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this case.)
To restore the factory-default Position, Size and Phase settings, select Factory Preset and
press ENTER.
Caption: Select Caption from the Setup menu to control the display of closed captions when
watching programs that contain them.
• Display: Select On or Off to control the display of closed captions.
•Mode: Select one of four captioning modes: CC1, CC2, CC3 or CC4. CC1 usually contains
the native-language captions; if a program is captioned in more than one language, those
captions are carried on CC2, CC3 or CC4.
The DView also supports “text mode” captioning; to use this feature, select Text1, Text2,
Text3 or Text4. The text modes, instead of displaying a few lines of captions somewhere
on the picture, take over all or half of the screen to display scrolling text information. (The
text modes are seldom used today, so most of the time there is no information there to
see.) The text field is sometimes used for embedding Internet data (called Interactive TV
Links, or ITV Links) in the captions.
• CC On Mute: To have the DView display captions when the audio output is muted, set this
option to Yes.
Parental Control: To block the display of television programs or movies based on their
ratings, select Parental Control from the Setup menu and press ENTER. Enter the default
Personal Identification Number (PIN) -- 0000 -- and press ENTER again.
• Parental Lock: This is the “master switch” for the parental controls. Set it to On on Off.
•TV Rating: Select TV Rating from the Parental Control menu to block television programs
carrying a given rating, to prevent children from watching programs that are deemed
inappropriate. These ratings and content labels have been established by the United
States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help parents and other caregivers
determine if a program is suitable for young viewers.
To block programs carrying a given rating, use the up- or down-arrow to select a rating.
Then, press the right-arrow button to require the PIN code to be entered to view a
program with that rating. A lock icon (
) appears to indicate that the restriction is active.
