DVDs that are rated higher than the level
you selected will not play unless you
enter your four-digit pin code.
Helpful hints:
– This feature will not limit viewing if the
disc manufacturer did not code the disc.
– VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication,
so parental control has no effect on these
type of discs. This also applies to most illegal
DVDs.
– Some DVDs are not coded with a rating
though the movie rating may be printed on
the Disc cover. The rating level feature does
not prohibit play of such Discs.
TIPS:
The underlined option is the factory default setting.
