Parental Lock

• Default level: Off; Default password: none;
Default Country/Area code: us (2119)
To give you some control over what your
children watch on your DVD player, some
DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level.
If your player is set to a lower level than the
disc, the disc won't play.
Some discs also support the Country/Area
Code feature. The player does not play certain
scenes on these discs, depending on the
Country/Area Code you set.
Note
• Not all discs use Parental Lock, and will
play without requiring the password first.
• If you forget your password, you'll need to
reset the player to register a new password
(see Resetting the player on page 38).
Registering a new password
You must register a password before you can
change the Parental Lock level or enter a
Country code.
