Such discs can be limited not to play back with the unit.

or A until the level you require appears.
• Level Off: The parental control setting does not
function.
• Level 8: All DVD software can be played back.

played back.
Select from the level 1 to level 8. The limitation will
be more severe as the level number is lower.

not be changed unless you enter the correct pass
word.

setting. (See “Temporary disabling of rating level
by DVD disc” on page 58.)
Notes:
• Depending on the discs, the unit cannot limit playback.
• Some discs may not be encoded with specific rating
level information though its disc jacket says “adult.” For
those discs, the age restriction will not work.
Note:
If each setup (pages 55~57) has been completed, the unit

cially with DVD discs).
Each setup will be retained in the memory even if you turn
