Parental control (DVD)
Setting a rating level and password
You can prohibit the playing of specified DVDs which are
unsuitable for children. Some DVD discs contain a
restriction level which enables parents to remove scenes or
prevent playback of discs by children. Your DVD player has
password device designed to prevent children from
changing the level.
Selecting a rating level
You DVD player has eight rating settings. Level 1 provides
the strictest viewing restrictions.
Note:
– If your DVD is not encoded with a rating, the Rating Level
feature does not work.
1 Press SYSTEM MENU.
2 At the setup menu, press
3 or 4 to select “RATING”, then
press OK.
Note:
– The password is preset to 1234. The rating is preset to
UNLOCK.
3 Enter a password and press OK.
4 Press OK repeatedly to select the desired level.
● You cannot play DVD video discs rated higher than the
level you selected unless you cancel the parental lock
function. For example, when you select level 7, discs rated
higher than level 7 are blocked and cannot be played.
5 Press SYSTEM MENU to exit.
IMPORTANT!
Some DVDs may prompt you for a password if
they have a higher rating than the level you set. If
you get this prompt, enter your password. For
DVDs that do not have the prompt display
“PARENTAL VIOLATION”, you have to reset the
rating level to a higher level before you can play
the desired DVD (refer to “Selecting a rating
level”).
Notes:
– Some DVD discs are not encoded with a rating though the
movie rating is printed on the disc case. The rating level
feature does not work for such discs.
– If you change the level and enter a password, playback of
all DVDs with a rating higher than your selection will be
blocked unless you enter the correct password again. For
example: if you change the level to 5, the DVD player will not
play discs with ratings of 6,7, or 8 unless the correct password
is entered from the remote control.
