Parental rating level

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

Helpful hints:

–This feature will not limit viewing if the disc manufacturer did not code the disc.

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

TIPS: The underlined option is the factory default setting.
