Using Parental Controls
You can set up ratings limits and turn on the Parental Control feature in order to control the type of discs people can play in the DVD Recorder.
The padlock icon on the Lock menu indicates whether the player is locked or unlocked.
Locked: You need to enter the password in order to play discs that have a higher rating than what you've allowed.When the player is
locked, nobody can access the Lock menu without entering the password.
Unlocked: No password required to play discs. Even if you've set ratings limits, they won't be enforced when the player is unlocked.
Notes:
The player is shipped unlocked without any rating limits set. If you want to use the Parental Control feature, set Ratings Limits and then lock the player.
Don't confuse the DVD Recorder's Parental Control feature with a parental control feature that may be in your TV, often referred to as V-Chip.The ratings described here
refer to discs that you play in the recorder, not TV programs.

Rating Limits
The Rating Limits menu lets you determine what types of discs can be played in the player,
and what types of discs will require a password to override the rating limit that you've
set. In the U.S., the ratings feature is based on the ratings set up by the MPAA (Motion
Pictures Association of America) such as R, PG, G, etc.
The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accommodate ratings systems used
in other countries (1 is considered material that is least offensive and 8 is considered the
most offensive).
Note: In order for the Ratings to be enforced, the DVD Recorder must be locked and the disc you're
playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.
