Exploring the DVD Setup Menu
The DVD Setup Menu contains many important options for your DVD player. Along with options for basic viewing features such as Subtitle language preference, this menu is where you can set a password to control the Parental Lock function, which lets you limit the play of discs beyond a rating you specify. The General Setup page also contains the DEFAULT option, which you can use to reset all player options, except the Parental Control, to default factory values

After the password is set, press ENTER on the CHILD option. You can choose from 8 levels of Parental Control, corresponding to the standard rating system in the USA. The available levels and their equivalent ratings are listed to the right:
