Restricting playback by Parental
Control
(only available in region 1 players)
Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned
to the complete disc or to certain scenes on the
disc. This feature lets you set a playback
limitation level. The rating levels are from 1 to 8
and are country dependent. You can prohibit
the playing of certain discs that are not suitable
for your children or have certain discs played
with alternative scenes.
