Using the TV’s Features and Menus
MPAA RATING LIMIT
The MPAA RATING menu lets you decide which movies can and can’t be viewed according to the age-
based rating of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). The TV locks and unlocks the parental
control settings using a password you select.
If you want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated
PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings.
Viewing Specific Content Themes
If you block specific content themes, you have the option of going back and changing some of the
content themes back to U (Unblock) :
1. Determine the content themes you want to change to U (Unblock).
2. Press the down arrow button to move the highlight to a content theme status, such as B under
language (L) corresponding with TV-14.
3. Press the right arrow button to change the status back to U. Your child would then be able to watch
programs with the TV-14 adult language content, but not programs with TV-MA language content.
Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L) language changes to U (Unblock). Higher rated content
themes, such as that for TV-MA language, do not change.

Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is
represented by the FV, D, L, S, and V on your screen.) When
you block a content theme for a particular rating, you
automatically block that content theme for higher rated
programs as well.
To block program content:
1. Determine the content themes you want to block.
2. Press the down arrow button to move the highlight to
the content theme status you want to change.
3. Press the right arrow button to change its status to B
(Block).
Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or
age-based ratings.
You must remember to activate Parental Guide for rating limits to
take effect.
