Other Ratings Menu
This TV can recognize new rating systems that may come
into effect in the future. The Other Ratings menu allows
you to block digital programming based on such alternate
rating systems. The alternate rating systems will apply to
digital broadcast programming only.
Note: The Other Ratings button remains inaccessible
until the TV receives signals for an alternate rating
system.
The first time you tune to a channel broadcasting an alter-
nate rating system, the TV defaults to the most restrictive
setting. Use this menu to change the allowed rating if you
are unable to watch a program broadcast with an alternate
system.
IMPORTANT
New rating systems recognizable by the TV
may be new U.S.-based systems not included
in the original V-Chip rating system. The use
of "Canadian" in the sample screen is just
one possibility.
