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.
“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.
Remember
When you want to watch a blocked
program, press the DISPLAY button on
the remote to enter your password.
