Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Therefore, discs may contain Parental Control information that applies to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. These scenes are rated from 1 to 8, and alternatively, more suitable scenes are available for selection on some discs. Ratings are area-dependent. The Parental Control feature allows you to prevent discs from being played by your children or to have certain discs played with alternative scenes.
