V-Chip allows you to Block or Allow programs based upon rating signals sent by the broadcasting station. The TV comes from the factory with the V- CHIP in the Off setting. You can turn the V-Chip on within the V-Chip Menu or you can use the V-CHIP button on the remote control to conveniently turn the V-CHIP on or off. The factory preset is TV-PG for TV ratings or PG for movie ratings, allowing only programs rated TV-PG/PG or lower. You can change the blocking level to various TV ratings and lettered categories or movie ratings. After changing channels or devices, there may be up to a 5 second delay before the V-Chip lock takes effect.

To view a V-Chip blocked program or to watch the program during a scheduled lock time, you must enter your 4-digit passcode or change the channel to an unlocked program. Once you have entered the passcode, the V-Chip block or Lock by Time will remain released until the TV is powered off and then on again.
