Restricting Playback By Parental Control - Magnavox MRD130 User Manual

Restricting playback by Parental
Control
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
playback of certain discs that are not
suitable for your children or have certain
discs played with alternative scenes.

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 playback of such Discs.
