Philips DVD615AT98 - Manual (Page 29)

Parental Controls Levels 29
You can set the Player to block or allow DVD playback according to the
movie rating of the DVD. If someone tries to play a DVD that has a rating
that exceeds the level you selected, they must know your password. You
must enter the password before the DVD will play. Password details are on
page 27.
Not all DVDs conform to the levels you select, as not all DVDs are coded
or protected by the DVD manufacturer. Therefore, make sure the DVD
plays according to your Parental level choice before you allow children
unlimited access to the Player or DVDs.
To prevent specific DVDs from playing on this Player, regardless of how you
set the PARENTAL level, see page 28.
