Discs set with viewing restrictions
sometimes cannot be played depending on

the DVD is parental level 3
The DVD can be played only when the
parental level set on the unit is level 4 to 8. If
an attempt is made to play a DVD when the
parental level set on the unit is level 1 to 3,
then a warning message “Change parental
level” will be displayed.
The default parental level is “OFF” which
means that no viewing restrictions are
applied to any DVD videos.
Notice

level. Viewing restrictions sometimes do
not function successfully if the country
code is not set since parental level differs
according to country. p P.50
