Parental control
Parental control
The PS3™ system includes a parental control feature. You can use this
feature to set a password and limit the playback of content restricted by
a parental control level (games, videos and other content). By setting
the parental control level on the system, you can prevent the playback
of restricted content by children.
Changing the security settings
You can set a parental control level for games or Blu-ray Discs or other
content under (Settings) (Security Settings).
A password is required to change parental control settings. You can set
a password under
(Security Settings) [Change Password].
The password is set to "0000" in the default settings.
Parental control levels for games
You can set the parental control level for games under (Security
Settings) [Parental Control]. Select from [Off] or one of 11 levels.
Off
Play any content regardless of parental control level.
11-1
Set the parental control level based on the number. Note that the lower
the number, the tighter the restriction.
The combination of the parental control levels of both the PS3™ system
and the content determine whether the content can be played.
Example: If the parental control level of the system is set to [7], content
with a level from [1] to [7] can be played on the system.
Refer to http://www.ps-playsafeonline.com for further details.
Other security settings
You can set parental control limitations on content other than games
under (Security Settings), as described below.
