LOCK (Parental Control)
Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable
for children to view. Many of these discs contain
parental control information that applies to the
complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc. Movies
and scenes are rated from 1 to 8, depending on the
country. Some discs offer more suitable scenes as an
alternative.

access to scenes below the rating you input, thereby
preventing your children from being able to view
material you believe is unsuitable.
