You can set the DVD Player to block or allow DVD playback according to the movie rating of the DVD. If someone tries to play a DVD that has a rating that exceeds the level you selected, they must know your password. You must enter the password before the DVD will play. Password details are on page 27.

Not all DVDs conform to the levels you select, as not all DVDs are coded or protected by the DVD manufacturer. Therefore, make sure the DVD plays according to your Parental level choice before you allow children unlimited access to the DVD Player or DVDs.

To prevent specific DVDs from playing, regardless of how you set the PARENTAL level, see page 28.
