How can a DVD offer parental control or parental locking of potentially offensive material?
DVDs encoded with the parental lock feature can be edited to skip over offensive or adult-oriented material during playback–sort of like turning an R-rated movie into a PG-13, and so on. If a DVD is encoded with this capability (check the packaging to make sure), your DVD player’s internal rating system can be set to different levels of parental control, typically accessed via the player’s set-up menu.
