NOTE: 1. If you Block TV-14D, you will still permit TV-MA programs; If you block TV-14V, you will
automatically block TV-MAV programs, but you will still permit TV-MALS programs. This means that
the TV will block violence in TV-14 and higher (TV-MA), but not language and sex.
2. TV program ratings are dependent on the broadcaster. If the program is not rated, the TV will not
block it.
3. If a CableCARD is installed, your cable operator may provide an Emergency Alert System (EAS)
message in the event of a local or national emergency with the purpose of alerting the general
public. When you receive such messages, the Television will immediately tune to an EAS channel as
directed by the EAS message. Please be advised that if the EAS channel is blocked using the
LOCKS feature, you will not be able to tune to that channel.
