Note: The player is shipped without any rating limits set. You need to set Ratings
Limits (go to page 48 for instructions) in order for the player to prevent people
from playing discs with certain ratings.
Using Parental Controls
You can set up ratings limits and turn on the Parental Control feature in order to control the type of discs people can play in the Digital Media
Recorder. The padlock icon on the Lock menu indicates whether the player is locked or unlocked.
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 Lock menu without entering the password.
Unlocked: No password required to play discs. Even if you’ve set ratings limits, they won’t be enforced when the player is unlocked.
Notes:
The player is shipped unlocked without any rating limits set. If you want to use the Parental Control feature, set Ratings Limits and then
lock the player.
Don’t confuse the Digital Media Recorder’s Parental Control feature with a parental control feature that may be in your TV, often referred to as V-
Chip. The ratings described here refer to discs that you play in the recorder, not TV programs.
