Chapter 5: Menu System Disc Library The disc library accesses information about what you've recorded onto discs. Details of this feature and the submenus are described on page 33. Timers Timer: You can add timers and view or edit existing timers from this menu for automatic recording.Timer recordings are especially useful when you have a favorite program that you want to record every week and/or every day. If you use a cable box, the cable box must be On and tuned to the channel you want to record, during the timer recording; if you're recording from satellite, the satellite set-top box, also called a receiver, must be On and tuned to the channel you want to record.

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/VCR must be locked and the disc you're playing must contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.
