Initial Setup

V-Chip

Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables TV Parental Guidelines (for United States and Canada) and Movie (MPAA) Guideline controls. V-Chip technology allows you to program your TV to receive, or not to receive, programs based on content according to the guidelines. Programs which exceed the ratings limits you set will be blocked. When a viewer attempts to watch a blocked channel, this message appears:

The channel will remain blocked until the correct lock code is entered (see page 26 for information on setting your lock code). You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings.
