To disable Parental controls and have all Discs play, select {8 ADULT}.

DVDs that are rated above the level you selected will not play unless you enter your six-digit password.

Helpful Hints:

VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication, so parental control function has no effect on these type of discs. This applies to most illegal DVD discs.

Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the movie rating may be printed on the Disc cover. The rating level feature does not work for such Discs.

PBC (Playback Control)

You can set the PBC to ON or OFF. This feature is available only on Video CD 2.0 with playback control (PBC) feature. For details, see page 13.

TIPS: To return to the previous menu, press 1. To remove the menu, press SETUP.
