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 about 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.
Notes:
• 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 reset the
player to its factory settings (see “Resetting the
player” on page 50), then register a new password.

You must register a password before you can change the
