DVD VIDEO CD

Parental Control limits viewing of Discs that exceed the limits you set. This feature will not limit viewing if the Disc manufacturer did not code the Disc. Philips cannot guarantee the availability of Parental Control with all Discs, and therefore denies any liability associated with unintended watching of Discs. Make sure your Discs play according to your Parental Control settings before you allow children access to the Player or Discs.

Helpful Hints

•The factory preset password is 3308. Use it to play a locked Disc or enter it as the old pass- word. The 3308 password is acceptable even after you set your own personal password.

•An “X” will appear on the screen instead of the password number to protect the identity of the password.

•Lock/unlock each side of two- sided DVDs and each volume of multi-volume Video CDs.

•When you try to play a locked Disc, PARENTAL VIOLATION may appear in the top left cor- ner of the TV screen. Follow the Disc’s instructions to enter your password and play the Disc. INPUT PASSWD may appear when it is time to enter your four-digit password.
