Child Lock (DVD and VCD)

When activating Child lock, only discs that are authorised can be played without PIN code.

The recorder memory maintains a list of 50 authorized (‘Child safe’) disc titles. A disc will be placed in the list when ‘Play Always’ is selected in the ‘Child protect’ dialog. Each time a ‘Child safe’ disc is played it will be placed on top of the list. When the list is full and a new disc is added, the least recently used disc will be removed from the list.
