How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip
Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go black and the following
message will appear: “Excessive rating”.
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions
(depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels. In this case,
use the V-Chip function for an “emergency escape”:
Press the MENU button to display the menu. Press the ▲ or ▼ button three times to select the “Function”
menu and press the
ˇ or ˆ button.
Press the ▲ or ▼ button to highlight the “V-chip” menu and press the ˇ or ˆ button.
Enter your PIN number, and press the ˆ button to temporarily disable the V-chip Lock.

▼ button to select a
particular MPAA category.
Pressing the ▲ or ▼ but-
ton will cycle through the
MPAA categories:

While “MPAA rating” is
selected, press the
ˇ or
ˆ button. The “MPAA
rating” screen will appear.
While a particular category is selected, press ˆ to activate it.
A letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed. Press ▲ or ▼ to select “U” or”B”.
Press the EXIT button to save the settings and to clear all screens.
Note: The V-Chip will automatically block any category that is “more restrictive.” For example, if you
block the “PG-13” category, then “R,” “NC-17,” and “X” will automatically be blocked also.
