Change password
In this menu you can create a new password or later change your existing
password. To set the password, please highlight “Change password” with
the direction button “D”. Press then “ENTER” to open the password
page.
When setting up a password the first time, you will be asked to enter the
current existing password. Please enter the default password “1369”. If
you change the password at a later date, please enter the last stored pass-
word.
Then choose a 4-digit numeric password, enter it in the “New” field and
confirm it again. Write the password down in case you forget it. In order to
activate the new password, please select “OK” and leave the setup menu
by pressing “SETUP”. When pressing again the “SETUP” button, the new
password is activated.
Parental control
Your DVD recorder features a parental control option that can be used to
limit playback of DVD-Video discs that exceed the rating you specify. When
the parental level is set, DVD-Video discs that are over this level will play
only after the correct password has been entered.
Use the buttons “C” and “D” to select the required parental level and
press “ENTER” to confirm your selection. You can choose from 8 levels of
parental control, corresponding to the standard rating system. The lower
the value is, the more strict the limitation. The available levels and their
equivalent ratings are listed below.
1. Kid safe: Suitable for all audiences
2. G: Suitable for general audiences
3. PG: Parental guidance suggested
4. PG 13: Parental guidance suggested, unsuitable for children under
13
5. PGR: Parental guidance recommended - implications or very brief
discreet language or situations
6. R: Restricted - violence, adult language and situation unsuit-
able for young viewers
7. NC 17: Adult theme or content, not suitable for children under 17
8. Adults: Adult themes, language and nudity. No parental control.
To activate the set parental level, please leave the setup menu by pressing
“SETUP”. When pressing again the “SETUP” button, the parental lock is
activated.

Attention:
This feature has to be supported by the DVD-Video disc! However, typical-
ly only DVD discs produced by major entertainment companies support
parental control. DVD-Video discs not supporting this feature will be
“immune” to the lock-out.
Note: If the password is activated
(see “Password” menu), any
changes in the parental setup will
require to enter a password. The
password set up is explained in the
“Change password” menu.
