Helpful Hints:

–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 encoded with a rating though the movie rating may be printed on the Disc cover. The rating level feature does not prohibit playback of such Discs.
