Using The Password Feature - NEC COMBO DRIVE Using Manual

Using the Password Feature

The password feature allows you to set parental controls for playing rated videodiscs. You can
set protection levels according to Movie Industry standards. Setting the protection level gives
you control for which videodiscs can be played.
Protection levels are password-protected. Note that if the protection level is changed, that level
is maintained even after the system is rebooted, until the password is entered again and the level
is changed back.
For more information on setting and using passwords, see the MGI SoftDVD MAX online help.
Note
Some DVD movies do not enforce the parental controls that are designated in their
advertised rating. This is not related to MGI SoftDVD MAX password protection.
