Player Setup Menu
The Player Setup menu contains a number of setup

Parental Control
The DVD 25’s Password System is used to control
viewing of restricted programs and the capability
to change the password itself and the rating. The
DVD 25 is shipped with “8888” as the default pass-
word and with the parental control settings off. The
following instructions will show how to change the
password and lock the settings.
NOTE: The DVD must be specifically encoded with
rating information for Parental Control to work.
The Rating Levels
The five MPAA rating symbols are “G” (General, Level
2), “PG” (Parental Guidance, Level 4), “PG13”
(Parental Guidance and 13 years old, Level 4), “R”
(Restricted, Level 6) and “NC 17” (from 17 years old,
Level 7). The DVD 25 will accommodate a total of
eight rating steps, as set by the DVD creators. These
additional steps allow for more critical control of pro-
gram playback for all audiences.
Level 8: All DVDs can be played.
Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/children
can be played.
Level 1: DVDs for children can be played, DVDs for
adults/general audiences are prohibited.
Password
If you change the password from the factory default
setting, please remember to write the new password
in a safe place. You cannot access rated discs or
rating/password menus or change or clear the
password (see below) without entering the correct
password.
If you forget your password, you can reset DVD 25 to
the factory default password (8888) when the player
is in Standby by pressing and holding the Clear

all menu settings to the factory default settings.
Any changes you have made will be lost.
