Using the NEC Combo Drive 3 Using the Password Feature The password feature allows you to set parental controls for playing rated videodiscs. You can set protection levels according to Movie Industry standards. Setting the protection level gives you control for which videodiscs can be played. Protection levels are password-protected. Note that if the protection level is changed, that level is maintained even after the system is rebooted, until the password is entered again and the level is changed back. For more information on setting and using passwords, see the MGI SoftDVD MAX online help. Note Some DVD movies do not enforce the parental controls that are designated in their advertised rating.
