Setting the Parental Lock level

Change the Parental Lock level to a higher or lower level according to the settings printed on the DVD disc jacket or accompanying documentation. If you use the Condition Memory function to save the settings for a particular disc, the Parental Lock level is saved as well. Because it is saved in memory, Parental Lock levels can be set for individual discs according to their content rather than a set level for all DVDs.
