5. Parental Control

This is used to set parental control ratings in order to prevent minors from watching inappropriate content. This function does depend on the disc being properly rated and encoded.

Press the Enter button to bring up the rating selection menu.

To adjust the parental control settings, you must enter the current parental control password. If you have not set a parental control password yet, the default password is “0000”.

The parental control menu contains the following sub-items:

BD Ratings - Press the / buttons to select the rating allowed for Blu-ray Discs. “Off” means no ratings control and all discs are allowed to play. Numbers 1 to 21 corresponds to the age limit. Discs encoded with an age limit that is equal to or above the selected age will be allowed, and any rating below the selected age will be blocked.

DVD Ratings - Press the / buttons to select the rating to allow for DVD. The available ratings are Kid, G, PG, PG-13, PGR, R, NC17, Adult and Off. The selected rating and below will be allowed, and any rating above will be blocked. If “Off” is selected, all discs are allowed to play.

Area Code – Some Blu-ray Discs may have different parental control ratings for different geographical areas. At this time the player only supports the parental control ratings used in the United Kingdom.

Change Password – To change the parental control password, enter a 4-digit number as the new password. Enter the new password again to confirm. If the two entries are matching, the new password replaces the old parental control password.
