Parental
Some DVDs may have a parental level
assigned to the complete disc or to
certain scenes on the disc.  This feature
lets you set a playback limitation level.
The rating levels are from 1 to 8 and are
country dependent.  You can prohibit the
playing of certain discs that are not
suitable for your children or have certain
discs played with alternative scenes.
VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication,
so parental control function has no effect
on those kinds of discs. This applies to
most illegal DVD discs.
