Setting the Parental Lock Level
This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has
a parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock
capable discs, you can block access to material you feel
is inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc
jacket and the accompanying documentation to see if a
particular disc contains a parental lock level.
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup
screen General menu. Please note that changes to the
Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is
playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to
make any changes.
Settings: Level Change (For information, refer to
‘Setting the Parental Lock level’ on the
following page.)
Password Change (For information, refer to
‘Changing the password’ on the following
page.)

When a DVD with a set Parental Lock level is

loaded

Playback cannot be started until the password has been
correctly input by moving the cursor control joystick or

Entering the password

When you select either “Level Change” or “Password
Change”, it is necessary to enter the password (4-digit
code number). Use the following steps at any time you
are asked to enter or confirm your password.
1Move the cursor control joystick up or down

or the number buttons to select a number

between 0 and 9.

You can also use the number buttons to enter the
numbers directly. When entering your password for
the first time, or changing it, you will be asked to
reenter your password. When using the number
buttons to confirm the password, the numbers
appear as asterisks, and the cursor advances
automatically to the next position.
2Move the cursor control joystick right or left to

move the cursor to a different position in the

password.

When all four numbers of the password have been
entered, ENTER appears on the screen.
3Press ENTER to set the new password.
The password is entered.
Note
Be sure not to forget your password. If you should forget it,
reset the system, and enter a new password. To reset the
system, see ‘Resetting the Player to System Settings’ (page 61).
Please note that this procedure resets the system, and clears all
saved settings, not just the password.
