Disc Menu
 Select the preferred disc menu language for DVD playback.
Note:
  If the selected audio/subtitle/disc menu language is not available on \

Parental  This is to prohibit viewing of discs that had exceeded the limits

allow all discs to play, select ‘ 8’.
–  Some DVDs are not encoded with a rating though the movie rating 
may be printed on the disc cover. The rating level feature does not 
prohibit playback of such discs. VCD, SVCD and CD have no level 
indication, so parental control has no effect on these type of discs. –  DVDs that are rated higher than the level you selected will not be\
 
played unless you enter the same six-digit password.
