Blocking programs by ratings
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content.
Television broadcasters employ a similar rating system
to qualify the content of television programs. The
MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs
that exceed the rating limits you set.
To block programs by rating:
1. Press MENU.
2. Press
x or • to highlight the SET UP menu.
3. Press y or z to highlight V-CHIP CONTROL.
4. Press x or • to display the PIN code entering screen.
5. Use the CHANNEL NUMBERS (0–9) to enter your four-digit
PIN code. After the code is entered, the V-Chip Control menu
appears.
6. Press y or z to highlight ENABLE BLOCKING.
7. Press x or • to highlight “Y,” which enables all blocking by
activating the V-Chip. (Note: Highlight “N” to deactivate the
V-Chip Control feature and disable blocking.)
