If a constant image is displayed on a
conventional CRT-type TV, it can 'burn in'
leaving a ghost image on the screen. Switch
to On to make sure that a constant image is
not displayed for a dangerously long time.

Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental
Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level
than the disc, the disc won't play. This gives
you some control about what your children
watch on your DVD player.
Some discs also support the Country Code
feature. The player does not play certain
scenes on these discs, depending on the
Country Code you set.
Before you can set the Parental Lock level or
the Country Code you must register a
password. As the password owner, you can
change the Parental Lock level or Country
Code whenever you like. You can also change
the password.
• Not all discs that you may consider
inappropriate for your children use the
Parental Lock feature. These discs will
always play without requiring the
password first.
• If you forget your password, you'll need to
reset the player to its factory settings (see
Resetting the player on page 81), then
register a new password.
Registering a new password
You must register a password before you can
change the Parental Lock level or enter a
