Rating (Parental control)
This step will disable the playing of some DVDs (especially
U.S. type) which are not suitable for some audience, e.g.
children. Such kind of DVDs is encoded with a specific rat-
ing level. If the rating level of the disc is higher than the
preset level (to be set in this step), the playing will be pro-
hibited unless the password (see next step) is entered.
1. Open the rating menu.
2. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the rating that
would require a password to play. Press OKto return to
main menu. Ratings highlighted in blue require password.
The rating systems is based on information encoded on the
DVD disc being played, so movies may carry a rating sym-
bol, the disc may or may not contain that rating in its soft-
ware. In addition to the five standard (MPAA) rating sym-
bols of “G” (level 2), “PG” (Parental Guidance, level 4),
“PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, level 4), “R”
(Restricted, level 6) and ”NC17” (from 17 years old, level 7),
the DVD will accommodate a total of 8 rating steps, as set
by the DVD makers. These additional steps allows for more
critical control of program playback for all audiences.
Level 8: All DVDs can be played (Factory preset).
Level 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/ children can be
played.
Level 1: DVDs for children can be played, DVDs for adults/
general audiences are prohibited.
