Parental Levels 29

You can set the Player to block or allow playback according to the DVD movie rating. If someone tries to play a DVD whose rating exceeds the level you selected, PARENTAL VIOLATION may appear on the TV screen. Some DVDs may give you the option of entering your password to allow playback. If not, 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 DVD manufacturer.Therefore, make sure the DVD plays according to your Parental setting before you allow children unlimited access to the Player or DVDs.
