LISTS & LIMITS

An Overview

When you select Lists & Limits from the Main Menu, the first screen you see is the Ratings Limit screen. By moving down through the other options, you can set per-event spending limits, create favorite channels lists, and also lock the system by assigning a password.

Setting the Ratings Limit

The Ratings Limit menu enables you to set a maximum viewing limit for rated movies (based on the MPAA ratings system), as long as the program provider has transmitted the proper code.

•Note that the ratings limit cannot be enforced if a program has not been rated, if rating information for that program is not transmitted by the program provider, or if the system has not been locked.

1. Point to Rating Limit and press MENU•SELECT.

Use the arrow keys to move the selector up and down.

2.Use the up and down arrows to move the rating selector to the highest rating you want to be able to view; then press the left arrow to set the rating. (In the preceding illustration, movies that are rated up to and including an “R” rating can be viewed.)

After the ratings limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter the system password to watch programs with a rating higher than your limit.

You need to lock the system in order for rating limits and channel lists to go into effect. See “Locking the System” for details
