Changing the Rating for a DVD

In some cases, you may want to change (override) the MPAA rating associated with a DVD so that

parental control can be applied. This action also requires using the Master password.

For example, perhaps a DVD with a MPAA rating of PG contains some violent scenes that you

don’t want your children to watch. In this case, you may wish to override the PG rating so that this

DVD will be password-protected as a R-rated film.

1. Double-click on a DVD title in the Movies tab to open the Edit Movie Description dialog. The

MPAA Rating is indicated at the bottom of the Details tab.

2. Click on the Change Rating command button to open the Parental Rating Override dialog

(FIG. 53).

3. Enter the Master Password.

4. Select the new rating category that you want to apply to this DVD from the New Rating drop-

down list.

5. Click OK to save the change and close the Parental Rating Override dialog.

Note that changing categories does not change the MPAA rating displayed on the Details page, but

the new rating is indicated in the User Rating field (FIG. 54).
