Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I use my PS2 as a DVD player mainly for convience because it's in my room, we also have one in the family room. I have a few issues with this though, the volume level once it plays the DVD is always extremely low. I need to put the volume almost to full to hear it. I've seen someone pick-up the volume level on the actual machine rather than the TV before when I brought it to a friends, unfortunately I do not know the guy who did it how he did it. As well I would like to either change the "parental level" so it doesn't ask me to change it everytime I go in, or else change the password from the basic 1-4 it came with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I believe if you change the parental level to the lowest setting, it no longer asks you. It's been a while, so I'm not sure about that.If you're not using the optical audio output, then go into the Setup > Audio Setup > DVD Volume. Make sure the optical audio output is set to off or else you won't be able to change the DVD Volume. If you are using optical audio, then just change the volume on your receiver.

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I have the remote control, makes it much easier and it seems to work fine for me.I also always have my TV on stereo. I have the PS2 remote as well and the volume is still a problem.My TV is always set on stereo.For the comments about the "system" it's just my TV and PS2. I have a CD player, but it's pretty basic and isn't hooked up to the TV or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Lego as much as it pains me to say this your going to have to go very basic. I do not know how to get into the set-up or change the parental level. I appologize for my lack of technological knowledge and really appreciate the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 While playing a DVD, press the select button to get the menu to come up. There are a bunch of icons... and the names of the icons come up with "Setup" and such. Search through those to try and find what you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
