You can enable or disable viewing of a  
specific disc. The DVD system can  
memorize settings for 120 discs. When  
you select Play Always,the disc currently  
in the player moves to the top of the list.  
When the list is full and you add a new  
disc, the last disc in the list will drop out  
of the list.

codings are applicable only for the  
country specified on the disc. The disc  
manufacturer sets these codings. For  
example, a disc may be coded at level 3  
for United States. So, for some discs, you  
may need to choose the country for  
which the disc is coded in order for the  
disc to play at the Parental Level you  
select (see page 38.)
