P.Lock (Parental Lock/V-Chip) Setup
The P.LOCK options control the built-in V-Chip feature of the television. TV broadcasts include a
signal that classies the contents of the program. When this feature is activated, the TV will detect
this signal and block any programs that are rated higher than what you have set.
There are two different rating systems: MPAA (movies) and TV (television broadcasts).
MPAA Ratings:
X: For adults only
NC17: Not intended for ages under 17
R: Restricted
PG-13: Not intended for ages under 13
PG: Parental Guidance Suggsted
G: General Audience
TV Ratings:
MA: Mature Audiences only
14: Not intended for ages under 14
PG: Parental guidance suggested
G: General audience
Y7: For children age 7 and above.
Y: All children
The TV ratings are further classifed by sub-categories. As the TV Rating increases, so does the
intensity of the sub-category.
TV Subcategories:
D: Suggestive dialogue
L: Indecent language
S: Sexual situations
V: Violence
To change these settings, you must rst use the numeric keypad to enter the P.LOCK code.
The default 4-digit code is: 5963.
