Techniques described herein enable parents to establish a child-protective "kids zone" on a DVR. According to one technique, a DVR receives, from a parent, identities of content items that the parent does not want children to view. The DVR maps the identities to a kids zone. During times that the DVR is set to operate in the kids zone operational mode, the DVR prevents itself from presenting any content items that are associated with the identities. However, during these times, the DVR still may obtain and store these content items. At other times, during which the DVR is not set to operate in the kids zone operational mode, the DVR may allow itself to present the content items that are associated with the identities, including content items that the DVR obtained and stored during times that the DVR was set to operate in the kids zone operational mode.

L'invention concerne des techniques permettant à des parents d'établir une sécurité pour enfants "zone pour enfants" sur un DVR. Selon l'une des techniques, un DVR reçoit, d'un parent, des identités d'articles de contenu de DVD que les parents ne souhaitent pas que leurs enfants visualisent. Le DVR mappe les identités dans une zone pour enfants. Durant la lecture du DVR en mode zone pour enfants, le DVR empêche l'affichage de contenus de DVD associés à ces identités. Cependant, le DVR peut encore obtenir et stocker ces articles de contenu. Lorsque le DVR n'est pas réglé en mode zone pour enfants, il permet l'affichage d'articles de contenu associés à ces identités, y compris des articles de contenu que le DVR a stocké et obtenu lorsqu'il était réglé en mode zone pour enfants.
