The MPAA rating system (movies)
G: General audience. No restriction.
PG: Parental guidance suggested. Some material may be unsuitable for children.
PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be unsuitable for children under the
age of 13.
R: Restricted. Viewers should be 17 or older.
NC-17: Not classified. Viewers should be 17 or older.

• TV (FCC) guidelines: When you lock a rating such as the TV-PG rating and all of its V, S, L, and
D subcategories, the “more restrictive” ratings (TV-14 and TV-MA) and all of their V, S, L, and
D subcategories are automatically locked out as well. Two groups (TV-Y/TV-Y7 and TV-G/TV-PG/
TV-14/TV-MA) are controlled independently.
• MPAA ratings: The particular rating that you select will be locked. In addition, any ratings that are
more restrictive will also be blocked.
• Neither the TV (FCC) nor MPAA ratings apply to news broadcasts.
Using the Setup Menu
You can use the setup menu to change your screen format, set daylight saving, set the sound system,
reduce video noise, and set the Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
Screen format
Your screen format options depend on the type of TV or monitor you are using with your HP HDTV
Tuner. Follow these steps to change your screen format:
1 Press the Menu button on your remote control.
2 Highlight Setup, and press the Select button.
3 Highlight Screen Format, and press the Select button.
4 Highlight either 4:3 or 16:9, and press the Select button.
4:3 ratio
When using a 4:3 aspect ratio TV and receiving an image with a 16:9 aspect ratio, you need to
specify how the image is displayed. Choose one of the three following options:
Letter box
Letter box shrinks the picture so the entire image fits on the screen. Blank panels appear at the top and
bottom of the screen (1080i does not support letter box mode; full mode is automatically selected).
Full
Full vertically adjusts the 16:9 image so it fills your 4:3 screen. No blank panels are added, and the
image is not horizontally altered.
