You will be asked to enter your secret code for ‘Play Once ‘or ‘Play Always.’ If
you select ‘Play Once’, the disc can be played as long as it is in the player and
the player is ON. If you select ‘Play Always’, the disc will become child safe
(authorized) and can always be played, even if the Child Lock is set to ON.
Notes: The player memory maintains a list of 50 authorized (‘Child safe’) disc titles.
A disc will be placed in the list when ‘Play Always’ is selected in the ‘child protect’
dialog. Each time a ‘child safe’ disc is played, it will be placed on top of the list. When
the list is full and a new disc is added, the last disc in the list will be removed from
the list.

‘child safe’, each side has to be authorized.

complete set ‘child safe’, each volume has to be authorized.
