How to Set Ratings

Most movies made in recent years have ratings to indicate whether they are suitable for children to view. Some DVD Movie discs have encoded rating levels that allow you to set your MVP841 to prevent your children from viewing inappropriate movies in your absence. A password pro- tected lock function, set by you, sets the rating limit for disc play.

Note: If a disc is loaded, the player must be in STOP mode before any SETUP operation can occur.

1.Press the SETUP push-button to access the Initial Setup Menu. Refer to figures 2 & 3.

2.Press push-button Number 2 to access the Ratings Menu. Rating Level “8” allows you to view all DVD movies, regardless of their level rating. Level “0 Lock All” prevents any disc from being viewed. Refer to

figure 8.

Example: A DVD movie rated PG13 normally will be encoded with a Level 3 rating, however, this rating may not be the same for different movie studios. The player password protected level rating must be set to Level Number 3 or lower to prevent this disc from being viewed unless the password is used to unlock the player.

3.Press a Number push-button to select the desired rat- ings level. The Ratings Submenu requesting a pass-

word will appear. Refer to figure 9.

CAUTION: Be absolutely sure to remember or write down the password number and put it in a safe location for future reference. Once the password has been entered, the player is locked to that ratings limit

and you will not be able to view a DVD Movie with a rating number at or below the selected rating limit number. If you are unable to find or remember the password, please contact your dealer or McIntosh Technical Support.
