Parental level (DVD)
(only available in region 1 player)
This feature lets you set a playback limitation level. Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. 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.

If parental control is not activated, it will play all discs.
Rating - 1 to 8
If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is set to 5, only discs with ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 will be played. Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an alternative that has the same rating or lower is available on the disc. For example, consider a disc that generally is suitable for most audiences, and it is rated at level 2 for the most part. However, in the middle, there are also scenes rated at 5 (not suitable for children).
