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 area.
DVD video discs may or may not respond to the
parental control setting if the Area code of the disc is
set wrongly. Some discs offer more suitable scenes as
an alternative. Ratings are area 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.
