Using the Parental Control feature to restrict future play
You can restrict the playing of DVD movies by using the Parental Control feature.
The 8 levels of parental control correspond with the ratings on DVDs, and are usually
equivalent to standard movie ratings provided by the Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA). The levels of ratings range from 1 (unrestricted audiences) to 8 (most restricted). See
DVD Rating chart below.
You can activate your parental control feature by storing a password in the system. Once you
have set a level of parental control, DVDs rated above the level you have selected cannot be
played. The parental control setting can be changed only with the use of a password.
For further instructions on how to access the control settings, see “Locating system settings”
on page 42.
