V-Chip Movie Rating Limit
You set movie rating limits by blocking movies rated above a specified level.
How to block movie ratings and view movie ratings is explained in the next two
sections.
To access the V-CHIP MOVIE RATING LIMIT menu:
1. Press MENU on the remote control (the TV MAIN MENU appears).
2. Select Parental Controls (press 6).
3. Select V-Chip Movie Rating Limit (press 2).
Blocking Movie Ratings
If you only 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.
To block movies:
1. Highlight the Rating field and press the up and down arrow buttons to find
the rating that is the lowest rating you don’t want the child to watch. (In
the example above, you would highlight the rating status button
corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the child to
watch is PG.)
2. Press the right arrow button to highlight the rating Status field. Press the up
and down arrow buttons to change the button from View to Block. All
higher ratings automatically change to Block.
3. Press OK to return to the menu or exit the screen.
4. If Parental Controls are not locked, you must lock them so the movie rating
limits will take effect.
Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking movie
ratings, you must set NR to View separately to view NR movies.
