Parental 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. You must turn on blocking for U.S. ratings to activate these rating restrictions. Use the Lock > Parental 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 Start Time and Stop Time options in the Parental menu apply to U.S.-based ratings only and do not affect alternate rating systems.

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 rated with an alternate system.

Important Notes on Rating Locks

Parental menu rating locks apply only to chan- nels and signals received on the ANT and com- posite VIDEO jacks.

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

When viewing a cable box, satellite receiver, or other device connected to the component Y Pb Pr or HDMI inputs, check the device’s owner’s guide for parental locks.
