Movie Rating: Select Movie Rating from the Parental Control menu to block movies carrying a given rating, to prevent children from watching movies that are deemed inappropriate. These ratings have been established by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to help parents and other caregivers determine if a movie is suitable for young viewers.

To block movies carrying a given rating, press the right-arrow button to require the PIN

code to be entered to view a movie with that rating. A lock icon () appears to indicate that the restriction is active.

For more information on movie ratings, please visit http://www.mpaa.org/movieratings/.

Unrated: To allow or block access to unrated content, select Unrated from the Parental Control menu and select Allow or Block. Press ENTER to confirm your choice.

Change PIN: The default PIN for accessing the parental controls or bypassing content restrictions is 0000. Vidikron recommends changing this to something less obvious.

Letterbox Mode: Select Letterbox Mode from the Setup menu to change the appearance of movies in Letterbox format.

When you select Standard, the original Letterbox format of the source is maintained. Black bars appear above and below the active image area.

When you select Cinema Fill, a 2.35 image is stretched vertically in both directions to fill a 16:9 display.
