Parental Control

Rating

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.

number decreases.

Unlock: If you select Unlock, Parental Control is not

active. The disc will play in full.

Ratings 1 to 8: Some discs contain scenes not suit-

able for children. If you set a rating for the DVD, all

disc scenes with the same rating or lower will be

played. Higher rated scenes will not be played

unless an alternative scene is available on the disc.

The alternative must have the same rating or a

lower one. If no suitable alternative is found, play-

back will stop. You must enter the 4-digit password

or change the rating level in order to play the disc.

then press SETUP to exit the menu.

Control. If the rating set is lower than the disc
