PREPARATION
LOCK (Parental Control) Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable for
children to view. Many of these discs contain parental
control information that applies to the complete disc or to
certain scenes on the disc. Movies and scenes are rated
from 1 to 8, depending on the area.
DVD video discs may or may not respond to the parental
control setting if the Area code of the disc is set wrongly.
Some discs offer more suitable scenes as an alternative.
Ratings are area dependent.
The parental control feature allows you to block access
to scenes below the rating you input, thereby preventing
your children from being able to view material you believe
is unsuitable.
1. Select “Rating” on the LOCK menu then press 1.
2. To access the Rating, Password and Area Code
features, you must input the 4-digit security code you
created.
If you have not yet entered a security code you are
prompted to do so. Input a 4-digit code and press
ENTER/OK. Enter it again and press ENTER/OK to
verify. If you make a mistake before pressing
ENTER/OK, press CLEAR ( ).
3. Select a rating from 1 to 8 using the 3/4 buttons.
1-8: Rating one (1) has the most restrictions and
rating eight (8) has the least restrictive.
Unlock: If you select unlock, parental control is not
active and the disc plays in full.

then press SETUP to exit the menu.
5. Press OPEN/CLOSE (<) to activate parental
control.
Note:
If you set a rating for the player, all disc scenes with the same
rating or lower are played. Higher rated scenes are not played
