RATING
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.
VCD, SVCD and CD have no level indication, so
parental control function has no effect on those
kinds of discs. This applies to most illegal DVD
discs.
1 Press 5/4 to highlight “RATING”.
2 Enter its submenu by pressing 33.
3 Use 5/4 to highlight a rating level for the disc
inserted.
DVDs that are rated above the level you
selected will not play unless you enter your four-
digit password and choose a higher level rating.
Note:
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 work
for such Discs.
