Parental Block/Password Menus (optional)
The Rating and Password menus are useful if you have children at
home and want to prevent them from viewing inappropriate DVDs.
Most DVD movies are age rated just like theatrical releases. The rating
numbers on this menu roughly correspond to USA movie industry
ratings like so:
NC-17 = 7 PG = 3 PG13 = 4
R = 6 G = 1
This feature selects the maximum allowable movie rating that can be
played. For example, when you select level 4, DVD discs rated higher
than level 4 (R and NC17) cannot be played until you unlock the feature.

themselves, you should enter a password to block access to the
