Using the DVD’s Menu System
52 Chapter 5
The Preferences Menu
The Preferences menu is only available when there is no disc in the player. If the Preferences menu is grayed
out, remove the disc from the tray.
Setting the Rating
Rated Titles
The Ratings option lets you determine how your player will react to discs that contain movies that are rated (in
the U.S.A., the Motion Pictures Association of America (MMPA) 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 Ratings 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.
The DVD Player must be locked (password protected) in order for it to enforce the settings in the Ratings
menu.
