Lock (Parental Control) Settings
Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suit-
able for children to view. Many of these discs contain
parental control information that applies to the com-
plete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. Movies
and scenes are rated from 1 to 8, depending on the
area (country). DVD video discs may or may not
respond to the parental control setting if the Area
code (Country code) of the disc is set wrongly. Some
discs offer more suitable scenes as an alternative.
Ratings are area (country) dependent. The parental
control feature allows you to block access to scenes
below the rating you input, thereby preventing your
children from being able to view material you believe
is unsuitable.
