Chapter 2: The Menu System

While within the Rating Limit screens, pressing PRESETS on the remote will reset all ratings to View and V.

“Unrated” vs. “Not Rated”

All movies are assigned a rating. Some movies are given a rating of Not Rated (NR). You can assign Block or View status to the NR rating in the V-Chip Movie Rating Limit screen.

Not all television programs are assigned a rating (age-based rating). To assign View or Block status to “unrated” television programs, you must use the Unrated Programs option from the V-Chip Parental Controls menu.

Remember

When you want to watch a blocked program, press the INFO button on the remote to enter your password.

Overriding Limits

When you override a blocked program by entering your password, the Parental Controls option on the V-Chip Parental Controls menu will read Disabled. In this state, access to the Parental Controls menu is still locked and all controls will be in effect the next time the TV is turned on.

V-Chip Unrated Program Block

Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as ÒunratedÓ can be viewed.

View All unrated programs are available.

Block No unrated programs are available.

ÒUnratedÓ TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local, and weather programs, and public announcements. Also, the first few seconds of a channel with rated programming may be blocked (due to a brief delay in transmission of the rating information).

Lock/Unlock Parental Controls

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental controls settings using a password.

You must lock Parental Controls for TV rating and content, movie rating, and unrated program blocks to take effect.

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