Using the V-Chip menu
Some TV programs and movies include signals that classify the

control feature in this TV detects the signals and blocks the programs
according to your selections. To use this feature, perform the
following setup.
1. Enable the Lock.
2. Set a four-digit password.
3. Select the ratings and categories you want to block.
