DVD Menu System

Explanation of Rating Limits

The Rating Limits feature lets you determine what types of discs can be played in the player, and what types of discs will require a password to override the rating limit that youÕve set. In the U.S., the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) such as R, PG, G, etc.

The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accommodate ratings systems used in other countries (1 is considered material that is least offensive and 8 is considered the most offensive).

Note: In order for the Ratings to be enforced, the DVD/VCR must be locked and the disc you’re playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.

To Set Ratings for Rated Titles:

The Rating Limits menu enables you to block discs that contain movies with a rating assigned to them (R, PG-13, PG, G, etc.) from being played unless you enter the password you created in the Password menu.
