Your TV is equipped to support a downloadable rating system. It is similar to the current rating system your TV has, called V-Chip. When the new rating system is available, the TV downloads it from the signal and there is nothing you need to do to receive the information. Once it's downloaded, a new option appears in your Parental Control menu. This option and its name are dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster. Note: These ratings are available only if the broadcaster is sending them. 40 V-Chip Movie Rating Limit Set movie rating limits by blocking movies rated above a specified level. To access the Movie Rating Limit menu: 1. Press MENU on the remote control (the TV's MAIN MENU appears). 2. Select Parental Control. 3. Select US V-Chip. 4. Select V-Chip movie rating. Blocking Movie Ratings Once you are in the Movie Ratings menu, follow the same steps described for blocking TV ratings. Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs The Unrated/Exempt Prog. option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as unrated can be viewed. Unrated TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs without ratings. The Exempt option applies to both USA and Canadian unrated programs and Canadian programs rated E. View All unrated programs are available. Block All unrated programs are not available. Note: You must remember to activate V-Chip for rating limits to take effect. Press the down arrow to highlight Unrated/Exempt Prog. Then press the right arrow to toggle between View and Block. Lock/Unlock Parental Controls Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental controls settings using a password. If you do not lock parental controls, none of the settings for V-Chip, Channel Block, or Front Panel Block will take effect. If you forget your password, press the MENU button, then select Parental Control (the password entry screen appears). Simultaneously press and hold CH+ and VOL+ on the front panel for 8 seconds. Parental Controls unlock and the Parental Control menu appears. You can enter a new password by locking the Parental Controls again. Front Panel Block Selecting this option lets you block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV's front panel. The remote still tunes to any channel. When using this as a Parental Control method, remove access to any remote that is capable of operating the television while you have the front panel blocked. Don't forget to lock parental controls after you change the status. If you don't, the front panel block will not take effect. Chapter 3
