Sony dvd recorder stuck on child block - Sony RDR-GX315 DVD Recorder

If you have the manual it should say something about a child lock

Just hold stop button on unit for 5 seconds to either activate or deactivate child lock.

No, there is no child lock

Hello
To unlock the receiver from child lock, Press '/Power ON button on the recorder. The recorder turns OFF and ' CHILD LOCK' appear on the display. The timer indicator remains lit if there is a timer setting. The recorder will not workexcept for timer recordings.
To unlock the recorder, Hold Down '/Power button on the front panel of the recorder itself, until the "CHILD LOCK" display disappears from the front panel display.

I understand that you wish to remove the child lock(Parental Lock) on the player. Please follow the below steps to unlock the player from child lock.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any further assistance/clarifications.

I can't get my Sony DVD GX315 off Child Lock. Please help!

Try going to the recorder itself (not the remote). Press and hold the stop button until the childlock message goes away.

I would say there is a setting in the Menu of the dvd player, perhaps under a "System" tab. I dont have a Sony player right now to check but thats where it is on a Samsung. Good luck

I have similar problem. I have recorded all of my old tapes on a DVD-RW disc (lots of time spent on it) and as I wanted to finalize them - it would display an recording error. Recently I purchased a new Sony blue ray player and I realized it would play the not finalized discs. I am still looking for a solution how to record these memories on a PC so I can edit them.

Turn off recorder. Hold the on/off button on the dvd player for a few seconds. until "CHILD LOCK" disappears. The child lock is now disengaged...Check page 37 in the manual (I found it online -- same thing happened to my player -- I just freed it)
