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...

Setting your passcode

If you forget your passcode, you must restore your system.

Items that you can restrict

Features

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

You can restrict the use of games and videos that have parental controls (the PARAM.SFO file delineate the PARENTAL LEVEL 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.

Fun Fact

  • One month after the initial release of Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, shipments of it were halted due to it having been mis-rated. It was re-released a few days later with a B rating from CERO (instead of A).

(Atelier Meruru Plus: the Apprentice of Arland on Vita is rated as B for CERO, T for ESRB, and 12 for PEGI.)

  • Many video games have certain elements removed or edited due to regional rating standards.

Play duration

You can restrict the duration that your child plays per day. 
With this restriction, when the daily play duration that you set is exceeded, the system cannot be used.
