Setting the Rating

Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. This feature lets you set a playback limitation level. 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.

1In ‘Rating’, press OK to enter the submenu.

2Press 3 4 to highlight {Rating}, then press OK to select a rating level for the disc inserted.

➜ To disable rating control and plays all discs, select {8 Adult}.

3Use the numeric keypad (0-9) to enter the four-digit password (“Changing the password”).

➜ DVDs that are rated above the level you selected will not play unless you enter your four-digit password.

Helpful Hints:

–VCD, CD have no level indication, so parental control function has no effect on these type of discs.This applies to most duplicated DVD discs.

–Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the movie rating may be printed on the Disc cover. The rating level feature does not work for such Discs.
