b)Press the up or down arrow buttons to highlight Setup. Press OK.

c)Press the up or down arrow buttons to highlight Parental CTRL, and then press OK. (You can select EZ Setup, CH Setup, or Reset instead of Parental CTRL.) The Secret No. window displays.

Setting the parental control V-Chip level

V-Chip is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-Chip feature in your television.

V-Chip and Status are not selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret number.

The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.

■TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-Chip to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows from their children.

■Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-Chip can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

■The “V-Chip (DTV only)” will only be selectable when a new rating system can be downloaded via digital broadcasting in the U.S.
