Choice Menu Operations
Restricting Playback by Parental Lock
You can restrict playback of DVD VIDEO containing violent
scenes and those not suitable for your family members.
Nobody can play such a disc unless this function is
canceled.
• This setting takes effect only for a DVD VIDEO containing
Parental Lock level information—Level 1 (most restrictive)
to Level 8 (least restrictive).
Playback of discs containing higher level than the selected
level will be restricted. Some discs may not be played back
at all, and others may be played back with higher level
scenes skipped.
Ex.: When you select "4," discs containing level 5, 6, 7, or
8 can be played back.
• You can set the Parental Lock only while playback is
stopped.
