Downloading the additional V-Chip rating
system

equipped to download an additional rating system, if such a system
becomes available in the future.
Notes:
You can only download the additional V-Chip rating system when your
television is receiving a digital signal.
When you download the additional rating system, it may take some time
for the download to occur.
The V-Chip rating information and system are not determined or not
controlled by the television or Dynex.
The downloadable V-Chip rating system is an evolving technology;
therefore, availability, content, and format may vary.
The standard V-Chip rating system is available whether your television is
receiving a digital signal or not, and will block both analog and digital
programs. To set program blocking using the standard V-Chip rating
system, select V-CHIP in step 5.

MENU/ENTER. The V-CHIP menu appears.

VOL - buttons to select V-CHIP SET (DTV), then press the CH -
button.

will begin downloading the new rating system. This may take
some time to download completely.
