V-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.

• If a broadcast has CLOSED CAPTION and the
MUTE button is pressed, the set enters [CAPTION]
mode automatically. Pressing
MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.
• Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor
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”.
