Blocking Canada V-Chip Ratings
If you receive Canadian programs you can block Canadian English and French V-Chip by
ratings only. When you block a particular rating, you automatically block the higher rated pro-
grams as well. To block Canadian English and French program ratings:
1. Select Canada V-Chip from the Parental Control menu.
2. Highlight English Ratings or French Ratings and press OK.
3. Determine the rating you want to block.
4. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating you want to change.
5. Press OK to change its status to block (all ratings above the one you selected change to
block).
Block Channel
Turn this option on to block the channel you choose in the Selelct Channel option. Use the
number buttons to enter the channel you want to block, then press the down arrow button.
Press OK to place a check mark in the Block Channel box to block the channel. When you
tune to that channel you'll need to enter a password to view the channel if parental control is
locked.
Block Buttons
Select this option to block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV's side panel buttons so that they
can't be used by someone, like a young child. The remote still tunes to any channel. If you're
using this to keep children from changing channels, remove access to any remote that is
capable of operating the television while you have the side panel blocked. Don't forget to lock
parental controls after you change the status. If you don't, the Block Buttons action will not
take effect.
Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs
The Unrated/Exempt Ratings option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as
unrated or exempt can be viewed. Unrated TV programs may include news, sports, political,
religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and pro-
grams without ratings. The Exempt option applies to both USA and Canadian unrated pro-
grams and Canadian programs rated E.
Press the down arrow button to highlight Unrated/Exempt Ratings. Then press the OK or right
arrow button to toggle between View and Block.
View All unrated programs are available
Block All unrated programs are not available.
Future Rating Region
You might notice an option in your Parental Control menu that wasn't there before. This is
because broadcasters have the capability to add a new rating system for TV programs.
These ratings let you define additional parameters for parental controls. This option and its
name are dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster.
