Parental Controls and Restricted Content

[ecallawevad]

I am trying to restrict access to a number of video files using parental controls.  The video files have meta tags which I have set to restrict their age groups, which work fine on other players such as ipad.

Sony does't recognise the parental control field.  I have used metax to set the full meta data on files for testing but Sony Bravia simply plays the content from usb drive.

Isn't there any way I can restrict files on usb drive or stick from access, with parental controls?  This TV is hard work I dont think ill get another Sony TV too much doesn't work.

Hi there

Im not aware that you can restrict certain files on a USB drive whilst having others enabled.

A couple of suggestions:

1. Separate the files on the USB drive and have two drives.  Only plug in the restricted one when you need it.
2. Enable restricted profile and deny access to the media playback apps: http://sony-eur-eu-en-web--eur.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/99512/kw/Restricted
