7To release the parental lock temporarily

When you set a strict parental level, some discs may not be played back at all.

If you try to playback such a disc, you need to input the password to release parental lock temporarily (“Password – – – –” and ”Parental Locked” appear on the TV.) You cannot play the disc before you enter the correct password.

When you enter wrong passwords more than three times, “Parental Lock” appears on the TV and playback stops.
