setting must be changed to PCM. If not, signals the equipment 
cannot process will be output by this unit, causing high levels 
of noise which can damage your hearing and the speakers.
Now, when you insert a DVD-Video that exceeds the ratings limit 
you set, a message appears on the television.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
