bears the mark.

TV aspect. For details, refer to the disc’s in- structions.

Setting the parental lock

Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental lock to set restrictions so that children cannot watch violent or adult-oriented scenes. You can set the parental lock level in steps as de- sired.

pWhen you set a parental lock level and then play a disc featuring parental lock, code number input indications may be dis- played. In this case, playback will begin when the correct code number is input.

Setting the code number and level

When you first use this function, register your code number. If you do not register a code number, parental lock will not operate.

1Display the “DVD/DivX® Setup” screen.

=For details, refer to Displaying DVD/DivX® Setup menu on the previous page.

4While the input number is displayed, touch [Enter].

The code number is registered, and you can now set the level.

5Touch any of [1] to [8] to select the de- sired level.

The parental lock level is set.

! Level 8: Playback of the entire disc is possi- ble (initial setting).

p If you want to change the parental level al- ready set, enter the registered code number and then select the parental level.

p We recommend that you keep a record of your code number in case you forget it.

p The parental lock level is recorded on the disc. You can confirm it by looking at the disc package, the included literature or the disc itself. You cannot use parental lock with discs that do not feature a recorded parental lock level.

p With some discs, parental lock operates to skip certain scenes only, after which normal playback resumes. For details, refer to the disc’s instructions.

p If you forget the registered code number,

touch 10 times on the number input screen. The registered code number is can- celed, letting you register a new one.
