discs whose content may be deemed unsuitable for your children will therefore not be visible unless a
password that you have chosen is entered.
The padlock tells you whether or not the DVD recorder is locked.
(Locked) you must enter the password to play the discs whose
rating limits exceed the limit you have allocated.
(Unlocked) you don't need the password to play the discs, even if
you have set a rating limit.

confirmation and then confirm with OK.
Note: choose a four-digit number that you will be able to remember easily or note it down.
