Using the TV’s Features

Chapter 3 39

Editing Channels in the Channel Lists

Channels can be edited through the Unlocked List and Locked List in the

Cable and Antenna Channel List menus. Use the Unlocked List to remove

a channel if you no longer want it in your channel list because you don’t

like the program, for example. Remove or “hide” a channel from the

Unlocked List by removing the check mark in the box. In the example to

the left, channel 4 is removed from the Cable Channel List. If you decide

later you want to view channel 4, access it using the number 4 button on

the remote.

Use the Locked List to block a channel in your channel list if you don’t

want children to view the channel, for example. Select Blocked in the

Locked List to block a channel. In the example to the left, channel 8-2 is

removed from the Antenna Ch. List. When the TV is locked, access the

channel directly by using the number buttons on the remote control then

enter your valid password to view the channel.

To save time, you can also add ALL or delete ALL channels in a list by

changing the box or choice ﬁ eld in the line that says All Video Inputs

or All Channels but be very careful because you could erase all of your

selections.

Note: If a cable box is connected to the CABLE INPUT, the

channel list can be edited for Cable Channel in the Cable

Channel List menu. If a cable box is connected via INPUT1, the

channel list cannot be edited.

How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada

The V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the

TV software the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence

(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the

program contains and the TV is locked and you tune to a program whose rating exceeds the

rating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is blocked from

viewing.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content

themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. With the

V-Chip Unrated menu, you can also block out programs that have been given a rating of “Not

Rated,” or “Exempt” and programs that are considered “unrated”. The TV age-based ratings and

content themes you can block are in the table on the next page.
