Parental Control

Rating
DVD
Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for
children. Therefore, discs may contain Parental Control
information that applies to the complete disc or to
certain scenes on the disc. These scenes are rated from
1 to 8, and alternatively, more suitable scenes are avail-
able for selection on some discs. Ratings are country
dependent. The Parental Control feature allows you to
prevent discs from being played by your children or to
have certain discs played with alternative scenes.
