Locking Discs
(CUSTOM PARENTAL
CONTROL, PARENTAL CONTROL)
You can set two kinds of playback restrictions for a
disc.
• Custom Parental Control
You can set playback restrictions so that the
player will not play inappropriate discs.
• Parental Control
Playback of some DVD VIDEOs can be limited
according to a predetermined level such as the age
of the users. Scenes may be blocked or replaced
with different scenes.
The same password is used for both Parental Control
