NNOTE
 
●If there is no music file on the USB device or you don’t select a folder 
containing a music file, the Timer function does not operate correctly.
 
●If there is only one photo file in the USB, the Slide Show will not play.
 
●If a folder name is too long, the folder cannot be selected. Each USB you 
use is assigned its own folder. When using more than one of the same 
type of USB, make sure the folders assigned to each USB have different 
names.
 
●We recommend that you use a USB memory stick and a multi card 
reader when using On Timer. The On Timer function may not work 
with USB devices with a built-in battery, MP3 players, or PMPs made 
by some manufacturers because the TV can take too long to recognize 
these devices.

TV Rating: You can block TV programs based on their ratings. This function 
allows you to control what your children can watch. TV Rating displays a grid 
with locks. The following categories are on the left side: 
 
–TV-Y: Young children / TV-Y7: Children 7 and over / TV-G: General 
audience / TV-PG: Parental guidance / TV-14: Viewers 14 and over / TV-
MA: Mature audience 
   
						

							◀▶◀
English
The following categories are on top:
 
–ALL: Lock all TV ratings. / FV: Fantasy violence / V: Violence / S: Sexual 
situation / L: Adult Language / D: Sexually Suggestive Dialog
 
NTo block certain content, you select a lock, and press ENTER
E (That 
is, you “click it”.). For example, click the lock at the intersec\
tion of V and 
TV-MA, and you block all programs that are rated violent and for mature 
adults. The locks are also assigned to related groups. For example, if 
you click TV-Y under All, then TV-Y7 will also automatically be blocked. 
Similarly, if you click  TV-G under ALL, then all the categories in the young 
adult group will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-
ratings (D, L, S, V) work similarly. So, if you block the L sub-rating in TV-
PG, then the L sub-ratings in TV-14 and TV-MA will automatically be 
blocked.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has implemented a rating 
system that provides parents or guardians with advanced information on which 
films are appropriate for children.

Movie Rating displays a column with locks and the following ratings cate\
gories:
 
–G: General audience (no restrictions). / PG: Parental guidance suggested. 
/ PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. / R: Restricted. Children under 17 
should be accompanied by an adult. /  NC-17: No children under age 17. /  X: 
Adults only. / NR: Not rated.
 
NTo block certain content, you select a lock, and press ENTER
E (That 
is, you “click it”.). For example, click the X lock and you block all X-rated 
movies. The rating categories are also grouped so that clicking one category 
blocks all the categories a parent would block along with it. For example, if 
you block the PG-13 category, then R, NC-17 and X will automatically be 
blocked also.
 
NTo unblock a category, click the lock.
