Setting new ratings
Digital broadcasts are now carrying new ratings that are not
compatible with the Plasma Display System's original Parental
Control settings. When you first tune in one of these
broadcasts, a New Parental Control menu appears on the
screen. This tells you that you must change your Parental
Control settings to handle these new ratings. Otherwise, ratings
you had previously blocked may become unblocked.
