Parental Menu

The Parental menu lets you control the types of DVDs that your family watches and how your DVD will react to discs that contain movies that are rated (in the U.S.A., the Motion Pictures Association of America rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.). In order for the Parental feature to work, the disc must be encoded with rating information.

You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t. The system ranks the ratings 1 through 8 in order to accommodate different countries’ ratings systems. Rating 1 is considered a movie title with the most offensive material and rating 8 the least offensive.

Setting the Parental Control

In this section, you will be setting the rating level as well as the password.
