Follow steps 1-6 for Parental Control Rating, choosing
"Unlock" at step 5. After you set "Rating" to "Unlock," the

exceeds the rating level: "The parental setting of this player
prohibits play. Would you like to allow this disc to play?"
Press the 1/2 buttons to select "Yes" or "No," then press
the OK button. If you select "No," a message will remind

Or, if you select "Yes," next press the numerical keys to
enter your four-digit password, then press the OK button.
The disc will be available for playback as usual.
Notes:
The messages will vary among discs.
After you clear a message as described above, the disc will
play as usual. However, if you turn off the DVD Player or open
the disc tray, you will repeat these steps again if you try to play
the same disc later.
Parental Control Disclaimer
This DVD Player features the PARENTAL CONTROL
system, which is intended to be active when playing DVD
discs with certain software coding. This is according to
technical standards adopted by the set maker and disc
content industries.
Please note that PARENTAL CONTROL will not control a
DVD that does not have the appropriate software coding.
At the time of release of this DVD Player, certain aspects of
the technical standards had not been settled between set
makers and the disc content industries.
For these reasons, Philips cannot guarantee the functioning
of PARENTAL CONTROL and denies any liability
associated with unintended watching of discs.
If in doubt, please make sure the disc plays according to
your PARENTAL CONTROL settings before you allow
children access to the DVD Player.
