Explanation of Rating Limits The Rating Limits feature 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 Picture 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/VCR must be locked and the disc you're playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated. Locking Parental Controls on your DVD/VCR 1.
