Setting the Ratings Limits
The Ratings Limits feature is a rating limit system, sort of like movie ratings. It works with DVD discs that have been assigned a rating. This helps you control the types of DVDs that your family watches.
Note: When in DVD mode, the TV/DVD alerts you when you try to play a movie with a rating that exceeds the limit you’ve set. Some discs include a rating override feature. When you play a disc with this feature, the message Override Limit or Cancel Selection appears on the screen. If you choose to override the rating limit, you will need to enter your password to begin playback.
