All DVD players have a methodology of allowing parents to lock their children out of playing titles above a given ratings limit by utilizing a security code.

I recently saw a Wicked title that specifically mentioned this capability on the back cover. Is this something that must be specifically coded onto the individual DVD's, or are all DVD's required to have this "rating"?

If this is not a DVD requirement, are all adult companies taking advantage of this feature of DVD? I would think that in today's society of litigation and religous fanatacism (protecting our children), it would be crazy for companies to not utilize this function.

I would be interested to hear opinions on this from the different company representatives that lurk in these parts.

I think it's even more crazy the way millions of parents are uncaring and put no attention on their kids.

If you're a parent, how the heck can you have your porn laying around the house? You have to hide it, and let me tell you, if there is no way of hiding it, throw it out. Because I am sure I can hide it very well.

Otherwise, you are not teaching your kid good morals at such a young age.

I say, parents should should be more caring first. Companies comes second.

How useful is parental lock in Adult DVDs, if porn access still easy. The truth is that understanding of Sex Education between parents and children is most important.

Yeah I agree the parents need to be the first and foremost teachers of their kids telling them about sex, drugs, and rock n roll,lol. Sorry seriously it is the parents job to raise their kids with the right guidelines. The adult companies can do what they can to prevent kids from seeing it but the first line needs to come from the parents.

I completely agree that it is the responsibility to tesch and protect their children. However, doesn't part of that protection include setting up your DVD player (and satellite system) to take advantage of lock out functionality that is offered.

Kids find things that they should't have. Even if someone does a wonderful job of hiding or even locking up things that they don't want their kids to have access to, kids have ways of getting things. If this weren't the case, there would be no kids who smoked.

I know that when cable TV was first available when I was a kid, if you bought the top tier of service, Playboy (or whatever it was called back then) was included in the service. If you didn't want Playboy, there was a little filter with a key that the cable company would install on the line to block the signal. My parents had this lock installed. I had a copy of the key almost immediately.

I'm sure that it's not too hard to get around the parental lock methodology either. I'm just wondering if the adult companies are even providing this option.

Hi everybody,

Hope you had some nice easter days.

I just want to mention that the parental lock feature is a standard of all the PRIVATE DVDs. This was defined as one of the "must" features of all our titles when the regular DVD production guidelines were defined more than 2 years ago.
This is provided as a tool to help parents (that are the ones responsible for trying to shape their childs moral values) define the education they want for their children.

One thing that I have detected is the diverse ways that the brands have to implement the Parental Lock feature in their respective players... So read the instruction book carefully and do some testing to set it up correctly.

I agree the talk from parents is very important and should come first.
