This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has a
parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock capable
discs, you can block access to material you feel is
inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc jacket
and the accompanying documentation to see if a particular
disc contains a parental lock level.
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup
screen General menu. Please note that changes to the
Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is playing.
Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any
changes.
You cannot select [Level] or [Country Code] until you have
registered a password. Select [Password] to register a new
password. See ‘Entering the password’ on the this page for
how to register a new password.

When a DVD with a set Parental Lock level is loaded
Playback cannot be started until the code number has been correctly
input by using the cursor buttons (2/3/5/∞) or the number buttons,
and ENTER has been pressed.
■ Entering the Password
When you select either [Level] or [Country Code], it is
necessary to register the password (4-digit code number).
You’ll be asked to confirm your existing password before
registering a new one. Use the following steps at any time you
are asked to enter or confirm your password.
1 Use the cursor buttons (5/∞) or the number buttons to
select a number between 0 and 9.
You can also use the number buttons to enter the numbers
directly. When entering your password for the first time, or
changing it, you will be asked to reenter your password. When
using the number buttons to confirm the password, the numbers
appear as asterisks, and the cursor advances automatically to
the next position.
2 Use the cursor buttons (2/3) to move the cursor to a
different position in the password.
When all four numbers of the password have been entered,
ENTER appears on the screen.
3 Press ENTER to set the password.
The password is entered.
Notes
• Be sure not to forget your password. If you should forget it, reset
the system, and enter a new password. To reset the system, see
‘Resetting the Player to System Settings’ (page 54). Please note
that this procedure resets the system, and clears all saved
settings, not just the password.
• Some discs lock out violent scenes. Refer to instruction notes on
discs.
