How V-Chip Works

V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This program has been blocked! TV-14 exceeds set limits. Push MUTE to enter password.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. Go to page 41 for the US ratings explanations.

Lock/Unlock Parental Controls

When you enter the LOCKS menu, you'll be asked to enter a password. Enter a password using the number buttons, then press the ENTER button. Verify your password by entering the same password again, and then press the ENTER button. Each time you access the V-Chip menu, you'll be asked to enter this password.

You can change the password at any time. Access the LOCKS menu and

press the down arrow button to highlight New Password.

If you do not lock parental controls, none of the settings for V-Chip will take effect.

If you forget your password, you can reset it. Turn the volume all the way down using the top panel VOL- button on the TV. Continue holding the button and press the 0 number button on the remote at the same time for about 5 seconds. Enter a new password.
