DVD Setup Menu Options

Restricting playback by Parental Control

Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. This feature lets you set a playback limitation level. The rating levels are from 1 to 8 and are country dependent. You can prohibit the playing of certain discs that are not suitable for your children or have certain discs played with alternative scenes.

2Press 3 4 to highlight a rating level for the disc inserted and press OK.

To disable Parental controls and have all Discs play, select {8 ADULT}.

3Use the numeric keypad (0-9) to enter the six-digit password (see page 38 “Changing the password”).

DVDs that are rated above the level you selected will not play unless you enter your six-digit password.

Helpful Hints:

VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication, so parental control function has no effect on these type of discs.This applies to most illegal DVD discs.

Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the movie rating may be printed on the Disc cover. The rating level feature does not work for such Discs.
