Playstation 3 Parental Controls Guide
The Playstation 3 can be a pain for parents trying to protect their children from mature materials, especially if they aren't particularly educated in the technological field.
Finding the Parental Controls
First, turn on the Playstation 3 and access the XMB (short for XrossMediaBar). If you have a game or movie disc inside the Playstation 3 and have Disc Auto-Start set to "On," the system will boot the game or movie up. Simply press the "PS" button on the Playstation 3 controller to quit and return to the XMB.
From the XMB, move left until you find the Settings category (it is the second one going from left to right). Now scroll down to the Security Settings and press the X button on the Playstation 3 controller to confirm your choice.
Doing so will bring up six options: Change Password, Blu-ray Parental Control, BD/DVD Parental Control Region Code, DVD Parental Control, Parental Control, and Internet Browser Start Control. Look below for a detailed description for each Parental Control options.
Change Password
In order for your kids to get access to restricted content, they first must input a four digit password. You will also need to input a password to change the parental control settings. The default password is set to 0000. To change it, you must enter the old password first (which should be the aforementioned 0000). You should then be able to make a new one.
In case you forgot the password, you can contact Consumer Services via email on the following link:
BD Parental Control
Enter your password and select "On" to enable parental control for Blu-ray movies. Afterwards, choose the age restriction. Keep in mind that the restrictions will be greater if the age value you selected is lower. The age value for Blu-ray value is from 0 to 254.
BD/DVD Parental Control Region Code
Each region in the world has different levels of restrictions for parental control. So make sure you have the right region set before setting the levels of restrictions. All levels described in this guide are only applicable to the United States region.
DVD Parental Control
Enter your password and select "On" to enable parental control for DVD movies. You have 8 levels to choose from for DVD restrictions. The following chart gives a rough conversion estimate from parental control levels to MPAA ratings.
Parental Control Level to MPAA Ratings
1-2=G
3-4=PG
4-5=PG-13
6-7=R
8=NC-17
Level 1 basically restricts any DVD movies with at least a G rating from playing. Meanwhile, Level 8 will allow the Playstation 3 to play all DVD movies. Everything else falls in between and may require a bit of experimenting in order to figure out what is the right setting for you and your family.
Parental Control
Enter your password and select "On" to enable parental control for video games. You will get to pick between Level 1 and Level 11. Examine the chart below for a guide to picking the right parental control level for video games.
Parental Control Level to ESRB Ratings
1-2=EC
3=E
4=E 10 +
5-8=T
9=MA
10-11=AO
Like the Blu-ray and DVD movies, lower levels will result in more restrictions. Thus, Level 1 blocks all video games rated EC or higher while Level 11 won't stop any video games from playing on the Playstation 3.
Internet Browser Start Control
The final option under the Security Settings will allow you to restrict your kids from using the web browser on the Playstation 3. Simply select "On" to enable it and the Playstation 3 will block access to the web browser.
