Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features
Blocking TV programs and movies
by rating (V-Chip)
Some TV programs and movies include signals
that classify the content of the program (violence,
sex, dialogue, language). The V-Chip feature in
this TV detects the signals and blocks the
programs according to the ratings you select. (For
rating descriptions, see the tables on the next
page.)
Note:
Rating blocking is a function of the
V-Chip feature in this TV, which supports the
U.S. V-Chip system only.
To block and unblock TV programs and
movies:
Downloading an additional rating
system for blocking TV programs
and movies
An additional rating system may be available for
use in selectively blocking programs.
Note:
The currently tuned station must be
receiving a digital signal before an additional
rating system can be downloaded.
To download the additional rating system (if
available):
Note:
•
The additional rating system can only be
downloaded one time. You will not be able to
download any updates to the rating system
should such updates become available.
•
The additional rating system is not
designed, transmitted, or controlled by the
TV or Toshiba, nor is the availability of an
additional rating system determined or
controlled by Toshiba. Similarly, the rating of
programs in an additional rating system is
not determined, transmitted, or controlled by
the TV or Toshiba.
•
The additional rating system is an evolving
technology; therefore, availability, content,
and format may vary.
