Menu Operation

Use the navigation buttons to select the desired rating to be blocked. All ratings above this level

will also be marked to be blocked.

For example, if it is desired to block all PG-13 movies:

Select PG-13 using the navigation buttons. The lock indicator dots will be added to all PG-13 and higher categories.

NOTE: All PG-13 and higher movies will be blocked. When the CB receives broadcasts of those

movies, the CB will block both video and audio signals to the output, and a suggestive message will

appear on the screen.

Entering in the password will temporarily override the block settings for this program so that it can be

viewed.

Downloadable RRT

The current V-Chip recognizes the current RRT, which is communicated as part of the Program and System Information Protocol. It depends on broadcasts which could communicate a new rating system via the PSIP that both the chip and a TV’s software can understand. With downloadable RRT, blocking

of program shall occur when a program rating is received that meets the pre-determined user

requirement. User could program the open V-Chip with numbers of filters that go beyond the general

descriptors.
