IT wont let me watch a rated R dvd because i need a parental code password and i don't have one or any instructions on how to do it

The password is used if the parental control is enabled. This lets a parent/guardian ensure that DVDs can't be watched without the password if the movie has a rating above the chosen limit. (If you obtained a used DVD player where previous owner chose to lock the system to Kid safe, you'd need the password to watch any movie that doesn't have that rating.) If the parental control is off, you do not need the password.

I can't find much on the ONA18DP001. In general, some older DVD players have an RF (coaxial) out cable connection for viewing the video on an older TV (NTSC tuner) with only an RF input. If your TV has other input options, you don't need to consider this input.

I hope this helps.

HI,
Do the following for unlock the parental control. For this you should need the remote for the DVD payer.
1. Press the set-up button on the remote (set-up display will come on the TV screen )
2. Using Right arrow button or Left arrow button select DVD Setup menu
3. Using Down arrow select Parental control and press Enter button
4. now you can change the parental rating using up down arrows
If it ask for password the read the following carefully and do the same and enjoy your videos.
PARENTAL CONTROL LEVELS 1-8
The Parental Lock allows you to limit the use of your DVD Player to only those DVD discs that do not exceed the rating you specify. When the Parental Control is set, DVD discs that support this feature will play only after the password has been entered. However, typically only discs produced by major entertainment companies support Parental Control. Discs not supporting this feature will be "immune" to Lock-Out. When you attempt to change the Parental Control setting, you are prompted for a password. This of course makes sense, as this option would be useless if your kids could enter the Setup Menu and disable it! If there is no user password set, you'll be prompted to enter a new password. Choose a 4-Digit numeric password and write it down in Case you forget it. Key in the password and press ENTER. After the password is set, press ENTER on the CHILD option. You can choose from 8 levels of Parental Control, corresponding to the standard rating system in the USA. The available levels and their equivalent ratings are listed to the right.



PASSWORD - CHANGE
Here is where you can set an additional password to the default factory password. The procedures to change an existing password or enter a new password are the same - you must enter the OLD PASSWORD, then key in your new password twice to confirm. If you are entering a new password, or replacing a password you have forgotten, use the factory default password of 3351 as the OLD PASSWORD. If you are changing a previously entered password, you may enter that value as the old password.

A. Remember to keep in mind that the key to the the factory default password of 3351
B. Once the factory password has been changed, you should keep the password written in a safe location as a reminder if needed

You will need to get the parental code from the original owner to unlock all functions.

To reset the parental lock password or disable the parental lock, follow these easy steps

Step 1

Turn on your PS2 and choose the menu screen where you would normally enter the password. Instead of entering a password, go to the DVD setup menu. Go to "custom setup" and choose "parental controls".

Step 2

When you are asked for the code or password, press the select button on your controller and enter the number "7444". Now set the parental lock to "off".

Step 3

Press "reset" on the front of the game console to save your settings. When the system reboots, you should be able to view your previously censored games or DVDs. You will also have the opportunity to choose your own password, allowing you to turn the parental lock on and off, either manually or automatically by game or movie ratings.

the preset password is 3308. but first goto set up menu select rating press enter/play, select rating agin press enter/play, chose rating you want, then enter password 3308, press set-up to exit, press enter/play to start.

At the screen where it ask you to imput the password enter 7444. the old password will be deleted and you will have to setup an new one.
Good luck

ok I have got the manual and for parental options it says

The parental option anebles parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on a dvd. It reads the ratings for programming, then denies access to programmnig if the program's rating meets the limitations you selected. In this case, the user will have to enter a 4 digits security password, then press enter button.

The password in my book is forward button,backward button, forward button, backward button.
tahts the ones with the 2 arrows on.

I hope this helps i need the help line no because my little girls remote does not work with her player.

When there is a parental code, you have to ring up your tv service provider for the code.
