Closed Caption (Continued)Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

LV-CHIP

•This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on

FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may

be harmful.

•Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA

rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted

by age and contents.

•Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for

complete control.

mode automatically. Pressing

or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with

your set.

•If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION

broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.

•When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being received, for some programs the screen

may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.
