Ratings limits

Your player provides ratings limits on a scale of 1 to 8.The ratings limit function does not work if the disc being played does not have a rating limit. In Europe ratings limits are as yet uncommon on DVD discs on sale.

The player is supplied without any ratings limit setting. If you want to prohibit playback of certain discs you will have to set a ratings limit (see following page for instructions).

Setting a ratings limit

This function makes it possible to restrict viewing of certain DVD discs by programming a restriction on your player.This function can only be used with DVD discs provided with the function.

Discs without ratings limits

We often feel that some DVD discs ought to have a ratings limit. Unfortunately few discs in Europe have one.You can however restrict viewing of such discs by means of the Unrated Titles function by ticking the Password Required, option and then locking the player as described on page 20.When this is done the password will be requested before playing any DVD disc, including those that would not normally need a restriction.
