How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip
Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go black and the following mes-
sage will appear: “Excessive rating”.
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions
(depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels. In this case, use
the V-Chip function for an “emergency escape”:
Press the
MENU button to display the menu. Press the
▲ or ▼ button three times to select the “Function”
menu and press the œ
œ or √
√ button.
Press the
▲ or ▼ button to highlight the “V-chip” menu and press the œ
œ or √
√ button.
Enter your PIN number, and press the √
√ button to temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.
