Setting the parental control level
This feature lets you set a playback limitation level. Some
DVDs may have a parental level assigned to the complete
disc or to certain scenes on the disc. 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.

Rating - NO PARENT
If parental control is not activated, it will play all discs.
Rating - 1 to 8
If the player’s parental level is set below 8, only discs with a
lower or equal level will play. For example, if the player is
set to 6, only discs with ratings of 6, 4, 3 and 1 will be
played. Higher rated scenes will not be played unless an
alternative that has the same rating or lower is available on
the disc. For example, consider a disc that generally is
suitable for most audiences, and it is rated at level 1 for the
most part. However, in the middle, there are also scenes
rated at 6 (not suitable for children).
