Sony DMX-DVD Manual

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 
and Custom Parental Control.

Parental Control to restrict playback.
