grams as well. To block Canadian English and French program ratings:

1. Press MENU on the remote control (the TV's Main Menu appears).
2. Select Parental Control.
3. Select V-Chip.

4.

Select Canada V-Chip.

5. Highlight English Ratings or French Ratings and press OK.

7. Press the OK button to change its status to block (all ratings above the one you selected

change to block).

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.

Reset Downloadable Data

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. Then press OK to toggle between

View and Block.

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.
