Editing Channels in the Channel Lists
The Antenna and Cable Channel lists are only editable through the
Unlocked List
and
Locked List
in the
Parental Controls
menu. You can remove or “hide” a channel from the
Unlocked List
by
removing the check mark in the box. Also, you can remove or “hide” a channel from the
Locked
List
by selecting
Blocked
in the
Locked List
. When you press the channel buttons, that channel will
be skipped. When the TV is locked, you can still access the channel directly by using the number
buttons on the remote control but may not be able to see the video until a valid password is
entered.
To save time, you can also add ALL or delete ALL channels in a list by changing the box or choice
field 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 Parental Controls menu. If a cable box is connected via INPUT1, the
channel list cannot be edited- you can only use channel up/down or use the number
buttons.
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 not approved for
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.
