•Default level: Off

•Default password: none

•Default Country code: us (2119)

Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If the recorder is set to a lower level than the disc, it will require you to enter a password before the disc will play. This gives you some control about what your children watch on your DVD recorder.

Some discs also support the Country code feature. The recorder does not play certain scenes on these discs depending on the Country code you set.

Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country code you must set a password. As the password owner you can change the Parental Lock level or Country code whenever you like. You can also change the password.

Note

•Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children use the Parental Lock feature. These discs will always play without requiring the password first.

•If you forget the password, you can reset the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 86), then set a new password.

Parental Lock : Set Password

The password you set will enable you to change the Parental Lock level and Country code setting. It is also the password that you will need to enter if you want to play a disc with a parental lock level higher than the recorder.
