Setting the Parental Lock Level
This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has
a parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock
capable discs, you can block access to material you feel
is inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc
jacket and the accompanying documentation to see if a
particular disc contains a parental lock level.
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup
screen
General
menu. Please note that changes to the
Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is
playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to
make any changes.
Settings:
Level Change
(For information, refer to
‘Setting the Parental Lock level’ on this page.)
Password Change
(For information, refer to
‘Changing the password’ on the following
page.)
When a DVD with a set Parental Lock level is
played
Playback cannot be started until the password has been
correctly input by moving the cursor control joystick or
the number buttons, and
ENTER
has been pressed.
Entering the password
When you select either “Level Change” or “Password
Change”, it is necessary to enter the password (4-digit
code number). Use the following steps at any time you
are asked to enter or confirm your password.
1
Move the cursor control joystick up or down
or the number buttons to select a number
between 0 and 9.
You can also use the number buttons to enter the
numbers directly. When entering your password for
the first time, or changing it, you will be asked to
reenter your password. When using the number
buttons to confirm the password, the numbers
appear as asterisks, and the cursor advances
automatically to the next position.
