The Player can block or play a DVD based on its rating. Some DVDs let you enter your password to play a Disc. If not, remove the DVD, then change the PARENTAL setting so you can watch the Disc.
Not all DVDs conform to the levels you select, as not all DVDs are coded or protected by the manu- facturer. Make sure the DVD plays according to your PARENTAL setting before you give children access to the Player or DVDs.
