Setting Parental Lock
Some DVDs containing violent or other mature material are pro- vided with a parental lock function allowing parents to limit the disc’s viewing (see the disc’s jacket or label for information). By setting the player’s lock level lower than that of the disc, you can limit what discs can be viewed on the player. For example, by setting the player’s level to 6, discs with level designation 7 or 8 cannot be viewed unless a previously recorded password is input.
¶See P. 24 for menu instructions.
