PARENTAL CONTROL SETTING
DVD
Some discs are specified not suitable for children. Such discs can be limited not to play back with the unit.
If you set restrictions to who can watch this unit, you can prevent your children from watching violent scenes and adult pictures. However the viewer restrictions set here are only valid with discs with the parental control function.
Parental Control
MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) Guideline is a rating system that provides advanced cautionary information to parent about the content of movie programs.
The parental lock level is equivalent to the following MPAA Rating System.
Level 7:
Level 6: R (Restricted)
Level 4:
Level 3: PG (Parental guidance suggested)
Level 1: G (General audiences)
Some DVD discs contain a restriction level which enables parents to prevent playback of discs by children. This unit is equipped with a password designed to prevent children changing the level.
You cannot play DVD video discs rated higher than the level you selected unless you cancel the parental lock function.
For example, when you select level “5”, the unit will not play discs with ratings of “6”, “7” or “8”.
The information will appear on the TV screen. When you select level “Off”, all DVD video discs can be played back.
If you forget the password…
1.Press [DISC OPEN] to open the disc tray.
2.Remove the disc.
3.Press [DISC OPEN] again to close the tray. “No Disc” appears on the TV screen.
4.While holding [STOP] down on the front panel, press [7] on the remote control for 3 seconds.
“PASSWORD CLEAR” appears on the TV screen.
5.Enter a new password again.
Note:
DVD video discs may or may not respond to the parental lock settings. Make sure this function works with your DVD video discs.
