Setting the V-Chip

(continued)

To use the TV after the TV is protected.

When the program applied to the V-Chip setting is received, enter the password, then press ENTER. When the password is entered correctly the protection will be temporarily overridden.

NOTES:

The V-Chip function is activated only on programs and tapes that have the rating signal.

If you are changing channels using a VCR or a cable box, while the TV remains on channel 3 or 4, the V-Chip operates differently. When you enter your password to temporarily release the block on any channel, you have completely disabled the V-Chip function for all stations. To reset the V-Chip turn your TV off and back on.

Some cable boxes are built with a delay feature, in some cases it can take up to 10 seconds for a program to appear after the password has been input.
