Chapter 5 Features

Don’t forget the CLEAR button.

Press the CLEAR button on the remote control to remove the on-screen menus and return to normal viewing.

Another way to add channels

Press the number buttons on the remote to tune directly to the channel. If the system can obtain that channel’s signal, it will be added to the channel list.

Selecting or Deleting All Channels

You might be able to save time when creating a TV channel list by using the Select All Chans option or the Delete All Chans option to either add or delete all channels before removing or adding individual channels.

Also, terrestrial program providers may make additional channels or subchannels available. To include new channels in your TV channel list:

1.Select System Options from the main menu, then select Channel Search. The system will run a channel search, making it aware of the new channel(s).

2.Select Profiles from the main menu.

3.Select the user profile name, then TV Setup.

4. Choose Edit Channels and checkmark the new channel.

Setting the TV Rating

The Set TV Rating menu enables you to program your TV so children can’t access certain programs or channels.

The last three choices in the TV Setup menu involve software inside your TV (often called V-Chip) which allows you to “block” TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you might believe children shouldn’t watch. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs. Once you block programs, you can “unblock” them temporarily by entering the system password.

The V-Chip software inside your TV is initially turned “off,” so if you choose not to implement it, you can just ignore it.

When turned “on,” the V-chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip software the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating or content themes that the program contains, Program exceeds the TV rating limit you set will appear when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to provide ratings. However, you can block out programs that have been given a rating of “Not Rated,” and programs that are considered “unrated” because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.

The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table on the next page.
