Some DVD Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level than the disc, the disc won’t play. This gives you some control about what your children watch on your DVD player.

Some discs also support the Country Code feature. The player 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 register 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.

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 your password, you’ll need to reset the player to it’s factory settings (page 52), then register a new pass- word.

Registering a new password

You must register a password before you can change the Parental Lock level or enter a Country Code.
