How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip

Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)

If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and the following message will appear: “Excessive rating.”

To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels.

In this case, use the V-Chip button for an “emergency escape”:

1.Select V-Chip from the Function menu.

2.Enter your PIN number, and press the RIGHT arrow button to temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.
