DP-1 SET UP MENUS

Parental Block/Password Menus (optional)

The Rating and Password menus are useful if you have children at home and want to prevent them from viewing inappropriate DVDs. Most DVD movies are age rated just like theatrical releases. The rating numbers on this menu roughly correspond to USA movie industry ratings like so:

NC-17 = 7

PG = 3

PG13 = 4

R =

6

G = 1

 

This feature selects the maximum allowable movie rating that can be played. For example, when you select level 4, DVD discs rated higher than level 4 (R and NC17) cannot be played until you unlock the feature. To prevent your rascal kids from changing the rating block feature themselves, you should enter a password to block access to the Rating menu.
