CREATING OR CHANGING RATINGS LOCKS
You can lock programs based on Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings
(PG, PG 13, etc.) and expanded ratings (violence, language, etc.).
1Press MENU and select Locks (5).
2If the receiver is locked, enter the password using the NUMBER PAD. The receiver
displays stars (*) as you enter the digits of the password. Select OK.
3Select Ratings Locks (1).
4Highlight the least restrictive rating that you want to block. Press SELECT to lock the
highlighted rating and all ratings more restrictive than it (for example, locking PG 13
automatically locks R and NC-17).
5Select the expanded rating code(s), if you want to also lock these ratings.
6To unlock a rating code, select the code.
7Select Done. Make sure the receiver is locked as described on page33.
From the History Vault - If it's November 1st, wish the movie ratings
system a happy birthday because the Motion Picture Association of
America introduced the system in 1968.
