Important Notes on Rating Locks

Parent menu rating locks apply only to channels and signals received on ANT 1, ANT 2, and the INPUT 13jacks.

Other menu rating locks apply only to digital chan- nels received on ANT 1 or ANT 2.

When viewing a cable box, satellite receiver, or other device connected to the COMPONENT or HDMI inputs, check the device’s menu for rating locks.

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

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.

Bypassing TV Locks

If you try to watch a blocked program or channel or try to use the TV while it is locked by time, a notice appears prompting you for a pass code. To use the TV:

Input your four-digit pass code and press ENTER.

Change to a channel airing an allowed program or change to another device.

To reactivate the parent ratings lock or TV Lock by Time after using the pass code:

Power the TV off and then on to reactivate both locks.

Change to a different channel or device to reacti- vate only the parent ratings lock.
