The rating levels are from 1 to 8 and are country dependent.You can prohibit the playing of certain discs that are not suitable for your children or have certain discs played with alternative scenes.

●VCD, SVCD and CD have no level indication, so parental control function has no effect on those kinds of discs.This applies to most illegal DVD discs.
