Some PS4™ content may not be suitable for your child. Most PS4™
content is rated by an independent ratings body.
To ensure your child only has access to suitably rated content, just set
the correct parental control before you first let your child play. You can
set the parental controls in (Settings) in the function screen >
[Parental Controls] > [Restrict Use of PS4 Features] > [Application]. Use
the tables below for guidance on how the Parental Control Setting
relates to different age groups.
You can restrict access to Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD video content, and to
the Internet Browser, from (Settings) in the function screen >
[Parental Controls] > [Restrict Use of PS4 Features]. Restricting access to
the Internet Browser will not prevent launch of some applications that
use the Internet.
Regardless of the Parental Control Settings, you should monitor your
child’s activity on the PS4™ system. You can override the Parental
Control Settings at any time to allow an older child or adult to play.
