Parental Controls and V-Chip

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it won’t display certain programs.

Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a password.

By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off,” so if you don’t want to use this feature, you can just ignore it.

Important Note About Parental Controls

Once you’ve locked Parental Controls, the TV blocks the picture of all channels and programs that you’ve set as blocked. The screen to the left appears when you try to tune to a program or channel that’s blocked.

To temporarily unlock Parental Controls when you see the screen to the left:

1.Press DISPLAY on your remote control.

Important: The on-screen display refers to an “INFO” button, which the remote that comes with your TV does not have. Use the DISPLAY button instead.

2.Use the number buttons on your remote to enter your password. If you want to cancel, press CLEAR.

3.Once you’ve successfully entered your password, press CLEAR to exit.

The Parental Controls function remains unlocked until the next time you turn on your TV.
