Functions

This player is compatible with DVD, Video CD, and CD disc formats. Users already familiar with Video CD or CD will already be familiar with some of the functions the player is capable of performing. With DVD, an even greater number of possibilities and functions are available.

Note

DVDs differ in content and do not all contain the same information. Therefore some functions in this section may not work or have no effect on some DVDs.

Setting the Parental Lock

Level – DVD

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 can only be made when the player is stopped.

When a DVD with a set Parental Lock level is loaded

Playback cannot be started until the code number has been correctly input by using the cursor control joystick or the number buttons, and ENTER has been pressed.

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.

1 Move 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.
