The MPAArating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system,and its main application is for movies. (Eventually, movie videocassettes will be encodedwith MPAA ratings.) When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).

available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).
A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is blinking, press
the CH or CH button to change the sub-rating.
Press MENUonce to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be highlighted, and no letters will blink.
