• “DOWNLOADABLE RATING“ will be available when the unit
receives a digital broadcast using the new rating system.
• When you select a rating and set it to “BLOCK”, the higher
ratings will be blocked automatically. The lower ratings will
be available for viewing.
• When you set the highest rating to “VIEW”, all ratings turn
to “VIEW” automatically.
• If the “PROTECTED PROGRAM” message appears during
your TV viewing, change to a channel that is not blocked.
Then, you can access “V-CHIP SETUP” menu and change the
setting to allow all TV viewing.
• To block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in
both “TV RATING” and “MPAA RATING”.
• The V-chip setting will be retained after a power failure
(except the access code reverts to 0000).
