Using the V-Chip (parental control) feature

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters

well. The TV and MOVIE ratings work with the V-Chip feature and
allow you to block programs according to the rating limits you set.

Note:

If you forget your password, press RECALL
four times within five seconds while the TV is
