Lock (Parental Control) Settings
Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suit- able 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 (country). DVD video discs may or may not respond to the parental control setting if the Area code (Country code) of the disc is set wrongly. Some discs offer more suitable scenes as an alternative.
