Some PS4™ content may not be suitable for your child. Most PS4™ content is rated

by an independent ratings body.

To ensure your child only has access to suitably rated content, just set the correct

parental control before you first let your child play. You can set the parental

controls in (Settings) in the function screen > [Parental Controls] > [Restrict Use

of PS4 Features] > [Application]. Use the tables below for guidance on how the

Parental Control Setting relates to different age groups.

Browser, from

(Settings) in the function screen > [Parental Controls] > [Restrict

launch of some applications that use the Internet.

Regardless of the Parental Control Settings, you should monitor your child’s activity
