Parental Rating Level - Philips DVDR3355 User Manual

Parental rating level

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.

ages.

{ 8. Adult }

DVDs that are rated higher than the level
you selected will not play unless you
enter your four-digit pin code.
Helpful hints:
– This feature will not limit viewing if the
disc manufacturer did not code the disc.
– 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 coded 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.
