Rated Titles

Using the Features in the Menu System

This part of DVD Limits lets you determine how your player will react to discs that contain movies that are rated (in the U.S.A. the Motion Pictures Association of America rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.).

You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t. This system ranks the ratings 1 through 8 in order to accommodate different countries’ ratings systems (1 is considered a movie title with the least offensive material).

1.Highlight DVD Limits within the Lock menu, and press OK.

2.Press the right and down arrow buttons to highlight Rated Titles and press OK. The 8-level grid with rating limits appears.

3.To change the rating limit, press the up or down arrow button.

•The ratings that don’t require a password (free access) appear in the green part of the block.

•The ratings that require a password appear in the red part of the block.

4.Press OK. The rating limit appears next to the Rated Titles path menu.

5.Press CLEAR to return to the main menu or press GO BACK to return to the previous menu screen.

Example: If you set PG as the highest rating for Free Access (green), then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (that’s the player’s number for PG in its 8-level system) and PG for the movie studio’s rating. This means when the player is locked, it will require you to enter the password to play any discs that are rated higher than PG (i.e., PG13 or R).

Note: If the Rating Limit Feature Doesn’t Work

In order for the Rating level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with the proper rating information. If the author of the disc did not encode rating information, then this feature will not work for that disc.

The DVD Player must be locked in order for it to enforce the settings in the DVD Limits part of the Lock menu.

Some titles (movies) are rated and some are not rated. To set the rating limit for rated movies, highlight Rated Titles and press OK. Use the up and down arrow keys to the rating level.

What if a movie’s rating exceeds the player’s rating limit?

The player alerts you when you try to play a movie with a rating that exceeds the limit you’ve set.

Some discs are authored with a rating override feature included.When you play a disc with this feature, the message, Override Limit or Cancel Selection appears on the screen. If you choose to override the rating limit, you will need to enter your password to begin playback.
