Helpful Hints:

–VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication, so parental control function has no effect on these type of discs.This applies to most illegal DVD discs.

–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 work for such Discs.
