Rating Menus
The rating menus allow you to:
• Turn rating restrictions on or off
• Change the permitted rating level
• Set the time of day to enforce rating restrictions (U.S.
V-Chip ratings only)
The TV comes from the factory with pre-set U.S. V-Chip
ratings and with the V-Chip lock turned off. The pre-set
ratings are TV-PG (TV rating) and PG (movie rating). If you
turn on V-Chip blocking, these presets allow only pro-
grams rated TV-PG/PG or lower.
After changing channels or devices, there may be a delay
of up to five seconds before the rating restrictions take
effect.
