select ‘Play Always’, the disc will become child safe (authorized) and

titles. A disc will be placed in the list when ‘Play Always’ is selected in the ‘child
protect’ dialog. Each time a ‘child safe’ disc is played, it will be placed on top
of the list. When the list is full and a new disc is added, least recently used
disc list will be removed from the list.
