Using the TV’s FeaturesChapter 3 49For each major channel 0 through 125 found through channel search in Antenna A and B Lists, there are sixsubchannels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to 999). The subchannels are the same for every major channel and are notbased on which subchannels a broadcaster is actually broadcasting. Subchannels are not supported for majorchannels 126 through 999. Even if a subchannel is checked in Antenna A/B List, it won’t be tuned to whenyou press CH+ if the channel doesn’t exist. An analog channel (major) and a digital channel (subchannel) canshare the same channel number and are both listed in the Antenna A/B List screens.Editing Channels in the Channel ListsAll the lists are only editable through the Unlocked List and Locked List in the Parental Controls menu You canremove or “hide” a channel from the Unlocked List by removing the checkmark in the checkbox.

That code tells the TV softwarethe 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 the program contains and the TV is lockedand you tune to a program whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will receive a message tellingyou that the program is not approved for viewing.Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will onlybe blocked if you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. You can also block out programs that havebeen given a rating of “Not Rated,” or “Exempt” and programs that are considered “unrated” with the V-ChipUnrated menu. The TV age-based ratings and content 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 in this screen.The TV must be locked for the rating limits to be enforced.0VBBVBBVBBBBVBlockedViewableBlockedBlockedBlockedBlockedRating ContentRating Status D L S V FVTV-MATV-14TV-PGTV-GTV-Y7TV-YUSA V-Chip TV RatingsThe USA V-Chip TV Rating lets you decide which TV programs can andcannot be viewed.
