Parental level
Certain discs come preset with country codes and parental level settings that are defined
for particular countries. Discs equipped with the parental lock function are rated accord-
ing to their content. The rated content allowed by a parental lock level and the way a
DVD can be controlled may vary from disc to disc. Some discs, for example, may let you
edit out violent scenes and replace them with scenes more suitable for viewing by chil-
dren. You can also use the parental lock to disable playback of the DVD entirely.
This system supports the following parental level settings.
Parental level ............ Defines the parental level, which controls the types of scenes
that are played back from a disc.
Code ......................... Allows selection of a country code available on a disc.
Notes:
You can use the parental lock function only with DVDs that are equipped with the
parental lock feature.
The parental level depends on countries. If you do not set the country code cor-
rectly, it fails to work correctly.
When you cancel parental setting, DVD discs can be played back regardless of the
parental level.
On some DVDs, the parental level setting is fixed and cannot be modified.
