Unrated Titles

However, much of the new programming on a discs, such as interviews with actors and directors, is also unrated. Additionally, the discs you use to record (DVD+R and DVD+RW) are considered unrated.

In order to prevent unrated titles from being played, you need to choose Password Required from the Unrated Titles menu, and lock the player.
