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 programs as
well. To block Canadian English and French program ratings, follow these steps:
1. Press MENU on the remote control (the Main Menu appears).
2. Select Parental Control.
3. Select Canada V-Chip.
4. Highlight English Ratings or French Ratings and press OK.
5. Press the down arrow to scroll to the rating you want to change.
6. Press the OK button to change its status to block (all ratings above the one you selected
change to block).
7. Press the MENU button repeatedly to exit the Parental Control Menu.
Block Channel
Turn this option on to block the channel you choose in the Select Channel option. Use the digit
keys to enter the channel you want to block. Then press the down arrow to select Block Channel.
Press the OK or right arrow button to place a checkmark 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. 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 programs
without ratings. The Exempt option applies to both US and Canadian unrated programs and
Canadian programs rated E.
Press the down arrow to highlight Unrated/Exempt Ratings. Then press the OK button or the right
arrow to toggle between View and Block.
View All unrated programs are available.
Block All unrated programs are not available.
Future Rating Region
You may 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.
Note: You must
remember to lock
Parental Controls for
rating limits to take
effect.
Note: These ratings are
available only if the
broadcaster is sending
them.
