alldiscs. If the player's parental level is set
below8, only discs with a lower or equal
parentallevel will play.
Forexample if the player is set to 5, only
discswith parental control ratings of 1-5 will
play.Toplay a disc with highernumber
rating,you must change the player's rating
toa higher number.
Considera disc that is suitable for most
audiences,and is rated as level 2 for the
mostpart. However in the middle there are
alsoscenes rated at 5&7(notsuitablefor
children).Alternative scenes with lower

MP3,whose official name is “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer3,” is a compression standard
prescribedby the ISO, the International
standardizationorganization and MPEG
whichis a joint activity institution of the IEC.
MP3files contain compressed audio data.
MP3encoding is capable of compressing
audiodata at extremely high ratios,
reducingthe size of music files to as much
asone-tenth their original size. This is
achievedwhile still maintaining near CD
quality.The MP3 format realizes such high
compressionratios by eliminating the
soundsthat are either inaudible to the
humanear or masked by other sounds.
