PARENTAL CONTROL / RATINGS

Parental Control Setup

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 above the rating you input, thereby preventing your children from being able to view material you believe is unsuitable.

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones).

This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
