Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls

The rating limits don’t work

•You must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your remote), select Channel Setup then Parental Controls (press 3 on your remote), and select Lock TV (press 1 on your remote).

I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

•If you forget your password, put the remote in TV mode. Simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the television and VOL down on the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock TV.

The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.

•Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set V-Chip Unrated to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.

What Else Can I Do?

If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting your TV. Note that after a reboot you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To do a reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, power strip, etc. Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then plug the TV back in, turn on the TV, and see if the problem is fixed. If the problem remains, then please visit www.rca.com/television for updated FAQs or contact RCA Customer Support at the support number provided in your Warranty under How To Get Service.
