Dario Argento - Phantom of the Opera Ardustry release...

Novosibirsk · 12-20-2008, 04:09 AM

Hey -- does anyone have the Ardustry release of this DVD? For some bizarre reason it asks me for a "parental password" to start the DVD. WTF? Does anyone know how to disable this garbage...?

Might just be your dvd player. Usually the code is 0000.

It's a failsafe to make sure you really want to view that piece of garbage!

Haha. Yeah, yeah, I know...it's garbage, but I want to watch it anyway.

Thus far, mashing various codes is not working (not 0000), it's just that this is so weird, because I have never had a "parental lock" appear on ANY DVD before, and I have watched loads of horror on this player for years. Truly strange.

I had one disc pop up with a lock years ago (I thought it was a Canadian disc) and it seems like I had to go into my own DVD player menu to deactivate something to make it work.Sadly this was so long ago I don't recall exactly what I did,but I've never had to do it again.

Actually I have this version of the film as well and I put it in the player and it worked fine on mine! I really hate the film. I just had to have it because I'm a completist and wanted all the Argento I could get!!

It was one of the first Argento's I saw.I liked it back then,though I didn't particularly like the comedic scenes and Asia's acting..The rest was fine

I bought a used DVD of this, but ended up giving to a friend as a Birthday gift (she's both an Argento fan and a Phantom of the Opera fan), but never got around to watching it before giving it away.

Guess, it's all the better then?

Did you ever get this thing figured out?

Nope! Still won't work.

Do a search of the "parental password" using your player brand and model number, I don't even think you need to throw the movie title in that search. Something might turn up.
