RCA E13341 V-Chip Unrated Program Block, Lock/Unlock Parental Controls, The Time Menu, Remember

THE MENU SYSTEM

V-CHIP UNRATED PROGRAM BLOCK

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

View All unrated programs are available.

Block No unrated programs are available.

“Unrated” 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.

THE TIME MENU

The Time menu contains the controls that let you set the Sleep Timer, Set Time, and Wake-up Timer functions.

Sleep Timer Displays a control panel that lets you select the amount of time you want to give the TV before it shuts itself off.

Use the VOL >/< buttons to increase or decrease the sleep timer by 30 minute increments. Press MENU to exit.

Set Time Displays a control panel that lets you enter the current time. Use the VOL >/< buttons and number buttons to set the time. Press MENU to exit.

Wake-up Timer Displays a control panel that lets you enter the time you wish your television to turn itself on. Use the VOL >/< buttons to set the wake-up timer. To clear the wake-up timer, display the wake-up screen and press RESET.

“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.
