Parental Lock

• Default level: 8
• Default password: none
You can restrict access to certain discs using this feature. Once
set, you will be asked for a four-digit password when a
restricted disc is loaded, giving you a degree of control over
what your children watch.
You can set the restriction to one of eight levels. Setting the
level at 1 means that any disc that has any level of restriction
will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at
level 8 gives unlimited access.
DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no
rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs
rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is
unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be
unsuitable for children.
Since a disc’s rating is up to the manufacturer, it is not
possible to give a definitive guide to each level—check the
disc box for parental lock details.
Be careful: not all discs that you may consider inappropri-
ate for your children are rated. Unrated discs will always play
without requiring the password first.
