Parental Control
Rating
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
country-dependent. The Parental Control feature allows
you to prevent discs from being played by your children
or to have certain discs played with alternate scenes.
