TV-MA) and all of their contents (V, S, L, and D) are automatically locked as well.
• MPAA ratings : The particular rating that you have selected will be locked. In addition, more
restrictive ratings will be locked as well.

Viewing Closed Caption Information
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with some
television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or translations into
other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so prerecorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for the closed caption
symbol ( ) on the tape’s package or your TV program-schedule.
