Child Lock (DVD and VCD)

When activating Child lock, only discs that are authorized can be played without entering a code.

The Recorder memory maintains a list of 50 authorized (‘Child safe’) disc titles. A disc will be placed in the list when you select ‘Play always’. Each time a ‘Child safe’ disc is played it will be placed on top of the list. When the list is full and a new disc is added, the last disc in the list will be removed.

The disc will be locked and the Recorder will ask for your 4-digit code the next time you try to play the disc. You must turn the Recorder power Off, then On, for the Lock to take effect.

Note: Reconfirmation of the 4-digit code is necessary when: the code is entered for the very first time;

the code is changed (see ‘Changing the 4-digit code’); the code is cancelled (see ‘Changing the 4-digit code’); Child Lock or Parental Control you switch off.
