RCA T20TF668 manual Age-Based Description for Mpaa Age-Based Ratings, NC-17, PG-13

Using the TV/VCR’s Features

Set the MPAA Rating Limits

The MPAA menu lets you decide which movies can and can’t be viewed according to the age-based rating of the MPAA. The TV/VCR locks and unlocks the parental control settings using a password you select.

If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings.
