Ratings Selection and Password Control

The DVD 5 enables you to control the discs that
are viewed by setting a ratings level. When a
disc that's ready to play has a rating level
greater than the default, it will not play. To fur-
ther protect against unauthorized viewing of
restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be
locked so that only authorized persons (such as
a parent) may change the rating level after a
password is entered.

The ratings system is dependent on information
encoded into the DVD disc being played so,
although most movies will carry an MPAA or
other rating symbol, the disc may or may not
contain that rating in its software. In addition
to the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R
and NC-17, the DVD 5 will accommodate a
total of eight ratings steps, as set by the cre-
ators of the DVD format. These additional steps
allow for more critical control of program play-
back for all audiences.
To select the permitted ratings values, you must
be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is
available by pressing the Menu Button `
while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup
Navigation Button e
Menu, press the
¤
until the Ratings option is highlighted.
To change the default Ratings setting, press the
Navigation Button e and note that the
›
list of system defaults will be replaced with
a list of the program ratings as shown in
Figure 5. Some ratings will be highlighted in
orange, while others will be highlighted in blue.
Discs with a rating in the orange color band
will play without any further action by the
viewer. Discs with ratings in the blue band will
only play after a password is entered.
