Access control

With Access control you can restrict playback of video discs in 2 ways:

–Some DVDs contain Parental control information.With “Parental level”activated, such DVDs will not play or will play alternative scenes for your children.

–With “Child lock” you can prevent any video disc (DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW,Video CD and Super Video CD) from being played on this set.

Parental level (DVD only)

Movies on pre-recorded DVD-Video discs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Some of those discs may contain “Parental control” rating information that applies to the entire disc or to certain scenes on the disc.The rating information on the disc is country dependent.The levels reach from 1–8:

–1: Recommended as acceptable for viewers of all ages.

–2: Reserved

–3: Parental guidance suggested.

–4: Material is unsuitable for children under age 13.

–5: Reserved

–6: Recommended that parents restrict children under 17 from viewing or allow to view only when supervised by a parent.

–7: Not recommended for children under age 17

–8: For adults only

You can set a filter value on the DVD recorder system. If during playback a scene that contains a “Parental control” rating information is detected, the set filter value on the DVD recorder system is compared to it. For example, if a filter value of 5 is set on the DVD recorder system, only discs with a “Parental control” rating of a lower or equal level (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) will play. If the scene’s rating is higher (e.g. 8) than the set filter value, an alternative scene (if available) will be played. If there is no alternative scene available, playback is stopped and the 4-digit code has to be entered again.
