Parent Menu

The TV comes from the factory with the rating locks
turned off and with pre-set U.S. ratings TV-PG and
movie rating PG. Turn on blocking for U.S. ratings
to activate these rating restrictions. Use the Lock >
Parent menu to change the level of blocking with U.S.
ratings.

Any time you change the channel or device, it may take
up to five seconds for the rating restrictions to take
effect.

Other Menu (Alternate Rating System)

This TV can recognize new rating systems that may
come into effect in the future. The Other menu allows
you to block digital programming when such systems
come into effect.

The first time you tune to a channel broadcasting an
alternate rating system, the TV defaults to the most
restrictive setting if the Lock menu > Other Lock
option is set to On. Use this menu to change the
allowed rating if you are unable to watch a program
broadcast with an alternate system.

The Lock > Parent menu lets you set parental controls
using V-Chip technology.
