30 Parental Levels
The Player can block or play a DVD based on its
rating. Some DVDs let you enter your password to
play a Disc. If not, remove the DVD, then change the
PARENTAL setting so you can watch the Disc.
Not all DVDs conform to the levels you select, as
not all DVDs are coded or protected by the manu-
facturer. Make sure the DVD plays according to
your PARENTAL setting before you give children
access to the Player or DVDs.
To prevent specific DVDs from playing, regardless of
how you set the PARENTAL level, see page 29.
