Parental Control

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.

{7 } – No children under age 17; not recommended viewing for children under age 17.

{8 } – Mature material; should be viewed only by adults due to graphic sexual material, violence or language.

Helpful hints:

– This feature will not limit viewing if the disc manufacturer did not code the disc.

– VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication, so parental control has no effect on these type of discs. This also applies to most illegal DVDs.

– Some DVDs are not coded with a rating though the movie rating may be printed on the Disc cover. The rating level feature does not prohibit play of such Discs.

TIPS: Press 1 to go back to previous menu item. Press SYSTEM-MENUto exit the menu.
