It works with DVD discs that have been assigned a rating. This helps you control the types of DVDs that your family watches.

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.

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.
