SYMPTOMS
A user may be able to play a DVD regardless of any Parental Control settings you previously chose.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the DVD has not been specifically authored to include Parental Control support. If it is not authored correctly for Parental Control, the DVD can be played regardless of the settings you chose in Windows Media Player or other DVD playback programs.



MORE INFORMATION
Please check with the content provider of the DVD to inquire about Parental Control support. Note that a compatible software or hardware MPEG-2 decoder is required for DVD playback.
