Using the Features in the Menu System
Rated Titles
This part of DVD Limits lets you determine how your player will react
to discs that contain movies that are rated (in the U.S.A. the Motion
Pictures Association of America rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.)
You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t.
This system ranks the ratings 1 through 8 in order to accommodate
different countries’ ratings systems (1 is considered a movie title with
the least offensive material).
1. Highlight DVD Limits within the Lock menu, and press OK.
2. Press the arrow right and arrow down buttons to highlight Rated
Titles and press OK (the 8-level grid with rating limits appears).
3. To change the rating limit, press the arrow up or arrow down
button.
• The ratings that don’t require a password (free access) appear in
the green part of the block.
• The ratings that require a password appear in the red part of the
block.
4. Press OK (the rating limit appears next to the Rated Titles path
menu).
5. Press CLEAR to return to the main menu or press GO BACK to
return to the previous menu screen.
Example: If you set PG as the highest rating for Free Access (green),
then the Rated Titles selection appears as 3 (that’s the player’s number
for PG in its 8-level system) and PG for the movie studios rating. This
means when the player is locked, it will require you to enter the
password to play any discs that are rated higher than PG (i.e., PG13
or R).
Note: If the Rating Limit Feature Doesn’t Work
In order for the Rating level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with
the proper rating information. If the author of the disc did not encode rating
information, then this feature will not work for that disc.
The DVD Player must be locked in order for it to enforce the settings in the
DVD Limits part of the Lock menu.
What if a movie’s rating exceeds
the player’s rating limit?
The player alerts you when you try to
play a movie with a rating that exceeds
the limit you’ve set.
Some discs are authored with a rating
override feature included. When you
play a disc with this feature, the
message, Override Limit or Cancel
Selection appears on the screen. If you
choose to override the rating limit, you
will need to enter your password to
begin playback.
Some titles (movies) are rated and some
are not rated. To set the rating limit for
rated movies, highlight Rated Titles and
press OK. Use the up and down arrow
keys to the rating level.
