Future Rating Region
You might notice an option in your Parental control menu that wasn't there before. This is
because broadcasters have the capability to add a new rating system for TV programs. These
ratings let you define additional parameters for parental controls. This option and its name are
dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster.
Note: These ratings are available only if the broadcaster is sending them.
Additional Features
There are additional features available unrelated to Parental Controls. These features can be
found in other menus.
Screen Formats
Screen format is the way the picture is displayed on your TV. Press the ZOOM +/- buttons on
your remote to see if a different format is available for the video you are viewing. The format
changes as you press the ZOOM buttons and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which will not fill the screen viewing area. Most digital
video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which
does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is
formatting the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the ZOOM +/- button to try a different
format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format
is sent by the broadcaster.
The different formats available and what they look like follow. Each format is available for
analog video, but might not be available for digital video.
