Parental Control

Rating

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for

children. Therefore, discs may contain Parental Control

information that applies to the complete disc or to

certain scenes on the disc. These scenes are rated

from 1 to 8, and alternatively, more suitable scenes are

available for selection on some discs. Ratings are

country-dependent. The Parental Control feature allows

you to prevent discs from being played by your children

or to have certain discs played with alternative scenes.

Ratings 1 to 8: Some discs contain scenes not

er, all disc scenes with the same rating or lower will
