4. TV Menus
Parental Menu
The TV comes from the factory with the rating locks
turned off and with pre-set U.S. ratings TV-PG and
movie rating PG. You must turn on blocking for U.S.
ratings to activate these rating restrictions. Use the
Lock > Parental menu to change the level of blocking
with U.S. ratings.
Any time you change the channel or device, it may take
up to five seconds for the rating restrictions to take effect.
Note: To set parental controls for programs from the
VUDU ™ movie service, use the VUDU Info &
Settings menu. The TV's Parental menu does
not control content accessible through VUDU.
Other Menu (Alternate Rating System)
This TV can recognize new rating systems that may
come into effect in the future. The Other menu allows
you to block digital programming when such systems
come into effect. The Start Time and Stop Time
options in the Parental menu apply to U.S.-based
ratings only and do not affect alternate rating systems.
The first time you tune to a channel broadcasting an
alternate rating system, the TV defaults to the most
restrictive setting if the Lock menu > Other Lock
option is set to On. Use this menu to change the
allowed rating if you are unable to watch a program
rated with an alternate system.
Bypassing TV Locks
• If you try to watch a blocked program or channel
or the TV is locked by time, a notice will appear
prompting you for a pass code. To use the TV,
input your four-digit pass code and press ENTER.
- To reactivate the locks after using a pass code,
power the TV off and then on.
- To reactivate only the parent ratings lock,
change to a different channel or device.
• If a program is blocked, you can still use the TV without
entering a pass code. Change to a channel airing an
allowed program or change to another device.

nels and signals received on the ANT and com-

nels received on ANT.
