Note
This television is designed to support the “Downloadable U.S. Region Rating System” when available. (Available
only in U.S.A.)
The Off rating is independent of other ratings.
When placing a lock on a specific-age-based-rating level, the Off rating and any other more restrictive ratings will
also be blocked.
