Blocking Canadian V-Chip Ratings

If you receive Canadian programs you can block Canadian English and French V-Chip by ratings only. When you block a particular rating, you automatically block the higher rated programs as well.

To block Canadian English and French program ratings:

1.Select Canada Parental Locks from the Parental Controls menu.

2.Determine the rating you want to block from English on the left or French on the right.

3.Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating you want to change.

4.Press the OK button to change its status to block (all ratings above the one you selected change to block).

Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs

Unrated TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs without ratings. Programs that have no rating or have been given a rating of None for TV Ratings, N/A or N/R for Movies, or E (Exempt) for Canadian ratings can be blocked using the Unrated Programs option.

Future Rating Region

You might notice an option in the Parental Controls menu that wasn't there before. This is because broadcasters have the capability to add a new rating system for TV programs. These ratings let you define additional parameters for parental controls. This option and its name are dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster.

Note: These ratings are available only if the broadcaster is sending them.
