U.S. TV Rating (V-Chip): Select with [OK] to open the U.S. TV Rating (V-Chip) menu. Here, you can set
which V-Chip ratings will trigger the STB’s lock function, requiring the viewer to enter the current STB
password to continue playback. You will see a table which shows the settings which are currently locked,
as indicated by the Lock symbol. You can toggle the lock for a cell by navigating to that cell using the
navigation buttons and selecting with [OK].
The table has the following rows for each TV rating: TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA. Visit
for more information on these ratings. The columns of this table are for six
types of settings which the STB can lock if the current program has a particular TV rating, and are
labeled as such:
•
Age: When set to Lock, the STB will lock whenever any content with that row’s TV rating or greater
(i.e. more mature) is detected. Selecting this box with [OK] will automatically toggle the Lock for the
current row and every row beneath.
•
