LOCK (Parental Control)
Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable
for children to view. Many of these discs contain parental
control information that applies to the complete disc or to
certain scenes on the disc. Movies and scenes are rated
from 1 to 8, depending on the country. Some discs offer
more suitable scenes as an alternative.
The parental control feature allows you to block access
to scenes below the rating you input, thereby preventing
your children from being able to view material you
believe is unsuitable.
