into effect in the future. The Other Ratings menu allows
you to block digital programming
based on such alternate
rating systems.

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.
Figure 12. The Other Ratings menu is available only if the
TV receives broadcast signals carrying an alternate rating
system.
