Chapter 4: DVD Menu System
Setting Ratings 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 you’ve 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 accomodate 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 Limits to be enforced, the DVD Player 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 Ratings Limits menu pertains to discs that contain movies that have an MPAA
(Motion Pictures Association of America) rating assigned to them (R, PG-13, PG, G,
etc.).
1. From the main menu, highlight Lock and press OK (enter your password if
asked).
2. Highlight Ratings Limits and press OK (the 8-level rating list appears).
3. Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the bar to the highest rating you
find acceptable.
Ratings that won’t require a password (free access) appear under the bar.
Ratings that will require a password, appear above the bar.
4. Press OK.
5. To return to the main menu, press the left arrow button until the main menu
appears on the screen.
