Note

•The quality of recordings may be reduced if a longer recording time is used.

•If, even on recording level SEP, there is insufficient space available on the disc, the recording is made on SEP but recording will stop once the disc is full.

•Optimized Recording only compensates for the first (earliest starting) timer program if more than one has been set.

•Unlike other recordings made using this recorder, the title name of an optimized recording does not contain the recording mode.

Parental Lock

Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If the recorder is set to a lower level than the disc, it will require you to enter a password before the disc will play. This gives you some control about what your children watch on your DVD recorder.

Some discs also support the Country/Area code feature. The recorder does not play certain scenes on these discs depending on the Country/Area code you set.

Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country/ Area code you must set a password. As the password owner you can change the Parental Lock level or Country/ Area code whenever you like. You can also change the password.

Note

•Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children use the Parental Lock feature. These discs will always play without requiring the password first.

•If you forget the password, you can reset the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 66), then set a new password.

Set Password

• Default password: none

The password you set will enable you to change the Parental Lock level and Country/Area code setting. It is also the password that you will need to enter if you want to play a disc with a parental lock level higher than the recorder.
