Netflix parental settings - NS-WBRDVD

Just purchased the NS-WBRDVD unit last night.  I'm amazed at how well it streams Netflix shows on the wireless hookup.  Can't wait till I see my first Blu-Ray video.

 

Trying to figure out the parental controls for Netflix.  I set them to PG-13.  However I was able to go and start watching an R rated movie.  Can someone else try this out on their end?  Am I missing something?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

We’re forwarding your request for technical support to our engineering team for additional research. Take into account that the ratings you set are for DVDs and some Blu-Ray discs do not have multiple countries encoded for parental controls. We’ll do our best to get you a response within the next few business days, so please check back!

Thank you,
Gonza

Ditto for the NS-BRDVD3.

 

I turned on the parental controls and restricted the kids from watching R-rated BDs and DVDs, but they can still watch anything they want on Netflix.  Please fix that loophole if possible.

 

1st choice = implement Netflix restrictions based on movie ratings

2nd choice =  implement option to block access to Netflix entirely (until parental password entered)

 

Thanks!

This is entirely a netflix issue. Try the same thing on your pc. You'll get the same result.

Re: Netflix parental settings - NS-WBRDVD

The parental control stuff works fine on my NS-BRDVD3 updated with the latest firmware.  On Netflix.com, I've got my profile settings in set for PG-13 maturity level.  On my NS-BRDVD3 player, no R-rated movies show up in any of the lists unless I've previously viewed them (then they show up in the "previously viewed" menu).

 

I found that my parental settings didn't take affect until I've logged out of Netflix and then re-logged back in.  I would suggest that you physically log out of your Netflix account on your web browser and also disconnect/reconnect your Bluray player.
