Some UMD™ software have a preset parental control level based on the
content. You can set the parental control level on the system to restrict the
playback of a UMD™ with a level that is higher than that set on the system.
Parental Control Level
The parental control level of the system can be either turned off or set to one of
11 different levels.
The default setting for the menu item is "9".
The combination of the parental control levels of both the PSP™ system and
the UMD™ determine whether a UMD™ can be viewed or not. The
combination of the two levels is displayed in the table on page 104.
Example: If the parental control level of the system is set to "9", a UMD™ with
a level from "1" to "9" can be played on the system.
Parental Control Level
Off Turns off parental control
11-1 Sets the level of content to be restricted. A setting of "1" is the most

,Check that the LCD screen's backlight is not turned off. If it is, press any
of the system buttons to turn on the backlight.
The battery loses its charge even when the system is turned off.
,Because battery power is used even when the system is turned off, it is
recommended that you charge the battery frequently.
The screen suddenly turns dark.
,Check the Backlight Auto-Off setting. If it is set to on, the backlight will
turn off after the set period of time. Press any of the system buttons to turn
on the screen ( page 99).
,Check the Auto Sleep setting. If it is turned on, the screen will turn dark
after the set period of time ( page 100).
The screen is dark and hard to see.
,The screen may appear dark, depending on the angle of viewing. Use the
display button on the system front to adjust the brightness ( page 38).
The black, red, blue and green spots on the screen do not
disappear.
,LCD screens are made with highly precise technology, but in some cases,
black spots may appear, or red, blue or green spots may remain on the
screen. This is not a malfunction. For details, see "Precautions"
( page 11).
The color of the screen does not look right.
