DVD Menu System
Parental
The Parental feature lets you determine what types of discs can be played in the
player, and what types of discs will require a password to override the rating limit
that you’ve set. In the U.S., the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by
the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) such as R, PG, G, etc.
The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accommodate ratings systems
used in other countries (1 is considered material that is least offensive and 8 is
considered the most offensive).
Note: In order for the ratings to be enforced, the disc you’re playing must contain a movie
(or a title) that is rated.
The following are the two states the DVD player can be set to:
Locked:
You need to enter the password in order to play discs that have a higher
rating than what you’ve allowed. When the player is locked, nobody can access
the
PARENTAL
menu without entering the password.
Unlocked:
No password required to play discs.
Changing Parental Controls
1. From the
OTHERS
menu, press the down arrow button until the
current
PARENTAL
setting
is highlighted
,
then press OK (
INPUT PASSWORD
appears).
2. Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter your password
(
CHANGE PASSWORD
appears). Press OK repeatedly until the desired rating
appears (the parental control will now be set to that setting).
Notes: Once the player is locked, you’ll need to enter the password every time you access
the Parental Control menu.
The player is shipped without any rating limits set. You need to set Ratings Limits (see
above for instructions) in order for the player to prevent people from playing discs with
certain ratings.

1. From the
OTHERS
menu, press the down arrow button until the
current
PARENTAL
setting

CHANGE PASSWORD
entry.
