–Parental Control Disclaimer
This DVD Player features the Parental Control system,
which is intended to be active when playing DVD discs with
certain software coding. This is according to technical
standards adopted by the set maker and disc content
industries.
Please note that Parental Control will not control a DVD
that does not have the appropriate software coding. At the
time of release of this DVD Player, certain aspects of the
technical standards had not been settled between set
makers and the disc content industries.
For these reasons, Philips cannot guarantee the functioning
of Parental Control and denies any liability associated with
unintended watching of discs.
If in doubt, please make sure the disc plays according to
your Parental Control settings before you allow children
access to the DVD Player.
