Parental Control limits viewing of Discs that exceed the limits you set.
This feature will not limit viewing if the Disc manufacturer did not code
the Disc. Philips cannot guarantee the availability of Parental Control
with all Discs, and therefore denies any liability associated with
unintended watching of Discs. Make sure your Discs play according
to your Parental Control settings before you allow children access to
the Player or Discs.
