RESTRICTING USE OF YOUR DISCS

Locking a disc with the

Read-Protect function

English

Locking a disc

The Read-Protect function restricts viewing of a disc. Only people who know the code can unlock the disc. You can lock only Video CDs (up to a maximum of 10 discs).

Notes

•When you lock a disc using the Read-Protect function, your Player recognizes the number of tracks and the recorded time on that disc. If you try to play another disc which has exactly the same number of tracks and the same recorded time, the Player may mistakenly assume that it is the locked disc.

•You cannot lock a disc while it is playing, or when the VCD light is blinking (i.e., immediately after turning on the player or shutting a disc tray). Stop the disc, then lock it.

•All Read-Protect functions are performed using buttons on the Player, not on the remote control.

•Normally, the markings are retained for a few days. However, the markings registered may be lost if power fallure occurs or you unplug the power cord. In such a case, register the markings again.

Operation

1. Play the disc for a moment, then press the ( Stop ) button.

2.Hold down the NEXT button on the Player for at least three seconds. The track and time numbers are no longer displayed.
