Note:

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.

To block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in “MPAA Rating”, “TV Rating” and “Downloadable Rating”.

The V-chip setting will be retained after a power failure (except the access code reverts to 0000).

If the rating is blocked, will appear.

“Downloadable Rating” will be available when the unit receives a digital broadcast using the new rating system.

If the broadcasting signal does not have the downloadable rating information, “Downloadable Rating is currently not available.” will appear.

This message will also appear when you try to access “Downloadable Rating” after you have cleared the downloadable rating information, and the new information has not been downloaded since.

To clear the downloadable rating information and its setting, select “Clear Downloadable Rating”.
