Using the TV’s FeaturesChapter 3 31Editing Channels in the Channel ListsAll the lists can only be edited through the Unlocked List and Locked List in the Parental Controlsmenu. You can remove or “hide” a channel from the Unlocked List by removing the check mark inthe box. Also, you can remove or “hide” a channel from the Locked List by selecting Blocked inthe Locked List. When you press the channel buttons, that channel will be skipped. When the TVis locked, you can still access the channel directly by using the number buttons on the remotecontrol but may not be able to see the video until a valid password is entered.To save time, you can also add ALL or delete ALL channels in a list by changing the box or choicefield in the line that says All Video Inputs or All Channels but be very careful because you coulderase all of your selections.Note: If a cable box is connected to the CABLE INPUT, the channel list can be edited forCable Channel in the Parental Controls menu. If a cable box is connected via INPUT1, thechannel list cannot be edited- you can only use channel up/down or use the numberbuttons.How V-Chip Works for the USA and CanadaThe V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells theTV software the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that theprogram contains and the TV is locked and you tune to a program whose rating exceeds therating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is not approved forviewing.Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no contentthemes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. With theV-Chip Unrated menu, you can also block out programs that have been given a rating of “NotRated,” or “Exempt” and programs that are considered “unrated”. The TV age-based ratings andcontent themes you can block are in the table on the next page.V-Chip Movie Rating2V-Chip TV Rating1Go Back0Main Menu Parental Controls USA V-ChipPress OK to set the age-based TV rating limit and contenttheme limit.The V-Chip TV rating limits are set with this screen.The TV must be locked for the rating limits to be enforced.0VBBVBBVBBBBVBlockedViewableBlockedBlockedBlockedBlockedRating ContentRating Status D L S V FV"TV-MA""TV-14""TV-PG""TV-G""TV-Y7""TV-Y"USA V-Chip TV RatingsThe USA V-Chip TV Rating lets you decide which TV programs can andcannot be viewed.
