You can restrict access to certain discs using this feature. Once set, the player will ask for a four-digit password if a restricted disc is loaded, giving you a degree of control over what your children watch.

The player can be set to one of eight levels. Setting the level at 1 means that any disc that has any level of restriction will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access.

DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be unsuitable for children.

Since a disc’s rating is up to the manufac- turer, it is not possible to give a definitive guide to each level—check the disc box for parental lock details.

Be careful: Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children are rated. Unrated discs will always play without requiring the password first.
