This DVD Player features the Parental Control system, which is intended to be active when playing DVD discs with certain software coding. This is according to technical standards adopted by the set maker and disc content industries. Please note that Parental Control will not control a DVD that does not have the appropriate software coding. At the time of release of this DVD Player, certain aspects of the technical standards had not been settled between set makers and the disc content industries. For these reasons, Philips cannot guarantee the functioning of Parental Control and denies any liability associated with unintended watching of discs. If in doubt, please make sure the disc plays according to your Parental Control settings before you allow children access to the DVD Player.
