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 also
employ a rating system to qualify the content of television programs.
The TV and MOVIE ratings work with the V-Chip feature and allow you
to block programs according to the rating limits you set.

To use the V-Chip to block programs by rating:

1. Press MENU, then press or to display the LOCKS menu.
2. Press

▲ or ▼ to display the password entering mode.

3. Use the Channel Number buttons (0-9) to enter your password.

Press ENTER. The LOCKS menu appears.

4. Press

▲ or ▼ to highlight V-CHIP.

• Press or to highlight ON to

enable V-Chip program blocking
by rating.

• Press or to highlight OFF to

disable V-Chip program blocking
by rating.

5. Press

▲ or ▼ to highlight V-CHIP

SET. Then, press or to display
the V-CHIP SET menu.

6. Press
