You can restrict access to certain discs
using this feature. Once set, the player will
ask for a four-digit password if a restricted
disc is loaded, giving you a degree of
control over what your children watch.
The player can be set to one of eight levels.
Setting the level at 1 means that any disc
that has any level of restriction will need
the password in order to watch it, while
setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access.
DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs
rated 1 (or with no rating) generally
contain little or no offensive material; discs
rated 2, may contain material that some
parents may feel is unsuitable for children.
Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be
unsuitable for children.
Since a disc's rating is up to the manufac-
turer, it is not possible to give a definitive
guide to each level—check the disc box for
parental lock details.
Be careful: Not all discs that you may
consider inappropriate for your children
are rated. Unrated discs will always play
without requiring the password first.
