Restricting playback by Parental

Some DVDs may have a parental level assigned
to the complete disc or to certain scenes on
the disc. This feature lets you set a playback
limitation level. The rating levels are from 1 to
8 and are country dependent. You can prohibit
the playing of certain discs that are not suitable
for your children or have certain discs played
with alternative scenes.

Rating explanations
NO PARENTAL – All discs will play.
8 ADULT – Mature material; should be viewed
only by adults due to graphic sexual
material, violence, or language.
7 NC-17 – No children under age 17; not
recommended viewing for children
under age 17.
6 PG-R – Parental Guidance - Restricted;
recommended that parents restrict
children under 17 from viewing or
allow to view only when supervised by
a parent or adult guardian.
4 PG13 – Material is unsuitable for children
under age 13.
3 PG – Parental Guidance suggested.
1 G – General Audience; recommended as
acceptable for viewers of all ages.
Helpful Hints:
– 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 encoded 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.
