Setting the parental control level

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

Rating - NO PARENT

If parental control is not activated, it will play all discs.

Rating - 1 to 8

If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is set to 6, only discs with ratings of 6, 4, 3 and 1 will be played. Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an alternative that has the same rating or lower is available on the disc. For example, consider a disc that generally is suitable for most audiences, and it is rated at level 1 for the most part. However, in the middle, there are also scenes rated at 6 (not suitable for children).

Rating explanations

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

6 PG-R – Parental Guidance - Restricted; recommended that parents restrict children under 17 from viewing or allow to view only when supervised by a parent or adult guardian.
