Locking or Unlocking Specific Discs

Not all DVDs are rated or coded by Parental levels. You may choose to
specifically lock or unlock a Disc by choosing Play once or Play always. This
way, you can disable viewing regardless of the rating of the DVD. You will
need to know your 4-digit code in order to view the Disc.

Insert a Disc. The Access Control message will appear on the TV
screen. (Child Lock should be Locked. Details are on page 50.)
