Some DVD Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level than the disc, the disc won’t play. This gives you some control over what your children watch on your DVD player. Some discs also support the Country Code feature. The player does not play certain scenes on these discs, depending on the country code you set. Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country Code you must register a password. As the password owner, you can change the Parental Lock level or Country Code whenever you like. You can also change the password. Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children use the Parental Lock feature. These discs will always play without requiring the password first. If you forget your password, you’ll need to send the player back to the factory to be reset, then register a new password.

You must register a password before you can change the Parental Lock level or enter a Country Code.

Bonus Group

Some DVD-Audio discs have an extra ‘bonus’ group that requires a 4-digit key number to access. See the disc packaging for details and the key number. When you play a DVD-Audio disc that has a bonus group, the key number input screen appears automatically. You can also access the same screen here. If you eject the disc, switch the power off, or unplug the player, you will need to re-enter the key number.

Auto Disc Menu (Default setting: On)

This specifies whether the menu (Top menu) is automatically displayed after loading a disc. Set to On if you want the menu displayed automatically, or Off if you don’t want it displayed. Some DVD discs display a menu automatically regardless of this setting. If you press (play) while a disc is loading, this setting is ignored.

Group Playback (Default setting: Single)

DVD-Audio discs can have up to 9 groups of tracks. When set to Single, the selected group plays and then the disc stops, or returns to the menu screen. Use Group Search to select the group to play. (You cannot use the track skip (<</ >>) or scan buttons (<</>>) in this mode.) Set to All if you want to play all the groups on a disc consecutively. Even if the player is set to All but you select a group to play from the disc menu, only that group will play. If you stop playback, all groups will play again when you restart playback.

DVD Playback Mode (Default setting: DVD-Audio)

Some DVD-Audio discs contain DVD-Video content in addition to the DVD-Audio. Set to DVD-Audio to play a DVD-Audio disc as if it were a DVD-Video disc. Note that in this case only the DVD-Video part of the disc will play. This setting reverts to DVD-Audio (Default) when the disc tray is opened, or the power is switched into standby.
