Helpful Hints

• Parental Controls blocks viewing of the Locked DVD on this Player. The DVD will play on other Players.

• Two-sided DVDs have a differ- ent ID for each side, so unlock each side. Multi-volume Video CDs or DVD sets have a differ- ent ID for each volume or Disc. Unlock each volume or Disc.

• Once you enter your password to play a Locked Disc, you can stop and resume playback with- out reentering the password every time you resume play. However, if you open the disc tray or turn off the Player, you will have to enter the password again to play the Disc.

• If you try to play a DVD that has been Locked, PARENTAL VIOLATION (or a similar mes- sage, depending on the DVD) may appear on the screen.
