Lock (Parental Control) Settings

Rating

Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable for children to view. Many of these discs contain parental control information that applies to the com- plete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. Movies and scenes are rated from 1 to 8, depending on the area. DVD video discs may or may not respond to the parental control setting if the Area code of the disc is set wrongly. Some discs offer more suitable scenes as an alternative. Ratings are area dependent. The parental control feature allows you to block access to scenes below the rating you input, thereby preventing your children from being able to view material you believe is unsuitable.

4.Press ENTER to confirm your rating selection, then press SETUP to exit the menu.

Note:

If you set a rating for the recorder, all disc scenes with the same rating or lower are played. Higher rated scenes are not played unless an alternate scene is available on the disc.
