Parental Control

The DVD 25’s Password System is used to control

viewing of restricted programs and the capability

to change the password itself and the rating. The

DVD 25 is shipped with “8888” as the default pass-

word and with the parental control settings off. The

following instructions will show how to change the

password and lock the settings.

NOTE:

The DVD must be specifically encoded with

rating information for Parental Control to work.

The Rating Levels

The five MPAA rating symbols are “G” (General, Level

2), “PG” (Parental Guidance, Level 4), “PG13”

(Parental Guidance and 13 years old, Level 4), “R”

(Restricted, Level 6) and “NC 17” (from 17 years old,

Level 7). The DVD 25 will accommodate a total of

eight rating steps, as set by the DVD creators. These

additional steps allow for more critical control of pro-

gram playback for all audiences.

Level 8: All DVDs can be played.

Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/children

can be played.

Level 1: DVDs for children can be played, DVDs for

adults/general audiences are prohibited.
