How are movie ratings determined?
The movie ratings system is a voluntary system operated by the MPAA and the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO). The ratings are given by a board of parents who comprise the Certification and Ratings Administration (CARA). CARA’s Board members view each film and, after a group discussion, vote on its rating. The ratings are intended to provide parents with advance information so they can decide for themselves which films are appropriate for viewing by their own children. The Board uses the same criteria as any parent making a judgment – theme, language, violence, nudity, sex and drug use are among content areas considered in the decision-making process.

Important tips:
• If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a password, the receiver is locked.
• When you lock a rating, you also lock all other more restrictive ratings. For example, if you lock PG-13 rated programs, then all programs with the R, NC-17 and NR/AO ratings are also locked. |
