•You must lock the settings. Go to the TV MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls (press 4 on your remote). Then select Parental Controls again (press 4 on your remote).

I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

•If you forget your password, the password can be reset to 0000 by pressing and holding the volume down and the channel up buttons on your front panel simultaneously for five seconds. Using this password, you can then access the V-Chip menus.

The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.

•Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
