Rating
You can set up ratings limits and lock your player in order to control the type of content people
watch on your DVD recorder.
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 you’ve set. In the U.S.,
the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by the MPAA (Motion Picture 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 recorder must be locked and
the disc you’re playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.
Unrated Titles
Some discs contain titles (or movies) that don’t have a rating assigned to them. Sometimes, movies
you might fi nd the most explicit are unrated. However, much of the new programming on discs,
such as interviews with actors and directors, is also unrated. Additionally, the discs you use to record
(DVD+R and DVD+RW) are considered unrated.
