Parental Control

Rating DVD

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for chil- dren. Therefore, discs may contain Parental Control infor- mation that applies to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. These scenes are rated from 1 to 8, where some discs offer more suitable scenes for selection. Ratings are country dependent. The Parental Control feature allows you to prevent discs from being played by your children or have certain discs played with alternative scenes.
