Historically, navigating within a CD and a DVD has worked differently. Specifically, the “fast forward” and “rewind” functions on a CD required you to press and hold the button during the scanning process. By contrast, the same action on a DVD required only a button click — in fact, additional button clicks would accelerate the rate at which the scanning would occur.

If you want to have all discs operate as per the DVD way of doing things, select latching as your navigation preference.

If you prefer the CD way of doing things, choose non-latchinginstead.

If you want the CDP-502 to behave like a CD player when playing a CD, and like a DVD player when playing a DVD, choose adaptive.

The CDP-502 includes a set of parental controls, similar to what you may have on your cable or satellite TV service.

The set password button allows you to set a four-digit numeric password, which will be required to play any disc that exceeds the rating you select.

The set rating button gives you a list of eight ratings, with the corresponding movie ratings listed (e.g., level 6 is the same as an R-rated movie). The level you select here determines the maximum rating that can be played without the password being entered. (Note that this button is only enabled after you have set a password.)

The block unrated button prevents unrated movies from playing without the password.

The enable control button enables the parental control feature of the CDP-502.
