Using the DVD’s Menu System
Setting the Ratings Limits
The Ratings Limits feature is a rating limit system, sort of like movie ratings. It works with DVD
discs that have been assigned a rating. This helps you control the types of DVDs that your family
watches.
Note: When in DVD mode, the TV/DVD alerts you when you try to play a movie with a rating that
exceeds the limit you’ve set. Some discs include a rating override feature. 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.
Changing to a Different Country’s Rating System
Some countries use different rating systems. The default for this TV/DVD is the United States.
You can change to a different country’s rating system through the Lock menu.
1. If the disc is playing, press STOP (the DVD’s main menu is displayed).
2. From the main menu, highlight the Lock option and press OK (the Lock menu appears).
3. Highlight Ratings Limits and press OK (the Ratings Limits menu appears).
4. Highlight Country and press OK (a list of countries appears).
5. Highlight the country you want to change to and press OK (the country you selected appears
next to the Country path menu).
6. Press the left arrow key to return to the main menu.
Rated Titles
The Rated Titles option lets you determine how your DVD 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).
In order for the Rating Level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with rating information. If
the author of the disc did not encode rating information, then this feature will not work for that
disc.
When in DVD mode, the TV/DVD must be locked in order for it to enforce the settings in the
Ratings Limits part of the Lock menu.
