to 8. The player can be set in a similar way. If the player’s parental level is set to 8 it will play all discs. If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a lower or equal parental level will play. For example if the player is set to 5, only discs with parental control ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1 will play. To play a higher rated disc you must change the player’s rating to a higher number.
For example, consider a disc that generally is suitable for most audiences, and is rated as level 2 for the most part. However in the middle there are also scenes rated at 5 & 7 (not suitable for children). Alternative scenes with lower rating are included.
The player plays the highest rated scene that the parental setting allows.
A section of the disc can have several different sequences that vary in parental control level. In the above example of a disc with parental control, the player will show a different section depending on the parental control level set in the player’s menu. In this way parents can control the content of films and there is no indication that any censorship has occurred.
The meaning of the levels 1 to 8 varies depending upon the country and the type of content on the disc.
