Parental Control

Rating DVD

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for chil- dren. Therefore, discs may contain Parental Control infor- mation 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. DVD video discs may or may not respond to the parental control setting if the Area code of the disc is set wrongly. The Parental Control feature allows you to prevent discs from being played by your children or to have certain discs played with alternative scenes.
