Creating a Password
You can use the Parental Lock feature to control what types of movies your family watches. When Parental

press OK. If you make a mistake, press the CLEAR button before pressing OK.
Changing the Password
To change the password:
1. At the Parental Lock menu, press the STOP button 4 times, then press OK. The password is cleared.
2. Enter a new 4-digit password by using the number buttons.
3. Press OK.

standards were used to rate a disc (see country list on the left). Press the right
arrow button to move to the Level field.
