Rated Titles
The Rated Titles option lets you determine how your player will react to discs that contain movies
that are rated (in the I'.S.A., the Motion Pictures Asstx'iation ttf America (MMPA) rates movies as G,
PG, PG-13, etc).
You decide which ratings require a password and which ttnes don’t. This system ranks the ratings 1
through 8 in order to accommodate different ccjuntries' ratings systems (1 is considered a movie title
with the least offensive material).
In order for the Rating Level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with rating information. If
the authtrr of the disc did not encode rating inlormation, then this feature will mA work fcrr that disc.

Ratings Limits menu is displayed).
