MPAA RATING LIMIT
The MPAA RATING menu lets you decide which movies can and can't be viewed according to the age-
based rating of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). The TV locks and unlocks the parental
control settings using a password you select.
If you want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated
PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings.

content themes back to U (Unblock) :

2. Press the down arrow button to move the highlight to a content theme status, such as B under
language (L) corresponding with TV-14.

programs with the TV-14 adult language content, but not programs with TV-MA language content.
Note: Only the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L) language changes to U (Unblock). Higher rated content
themes, such as that for TV-MA language, do not change.
