Limiting playback by children
This function restricts playback of DVD discs which contain vio-
lent (and other) scenes according to the level set by the user.
For example, if a movie which includes violent scenes supports the
parental lock feature, such scenes which you do not want to let
children view can be cut or replaced with other scenes.
