In the Parental Controls application (NPXS10094), parents or guardians can manage the duration their child can play and the features their child can use.

It is a scale to rate the content for the different users based in user profile settings and international rating systems as: PEGI, ESRB, CERO, etc...

Age rating is not a guide to gaming difficulty.

Setting your passcode[edit | edit source]

If you forget your passcode, you must restore your system or edit /CONFIG/SECURITY/PARENTAL/passcode in registry.

Items that you can restrict[edit | edit source]

Features[edit | edit source]

You can allow or disallow starting of Browser.pngBrowser and PS Store.pngPS Store. 

You can also allow or disallow the use of location data, and you can block the display of objectionable websites.

Games[edit | edit source]

Parental lock.png 
You can restrict/lock the use of games and videos that have parental controls (the PARAM.SFO file delineate the PARENTAL LEVEL of the content). 
In addition to [Off] (not restricted), your system can be set to one of eleven levels. The lower (or higher?) the number, the tighter the restriction.
