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 blank and the following

message 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 button for an “emergency escape”:

Press the V.chip button on the remote control. Enter your PIN number, and press the VOL+ button to temporarily

disable the V-Chip Lock.

Repeatedly press the CH

▼ button to select a par-

ticular MPAA category.

(When a category is

selected, its color

changes to blue.) Pressing

the CH ▼ button will cycle

through the MPAA cate-

gories:

G General audience (no restrictions).

PG Parental guidance suggested.

PG-13 PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned).

R R (Restricted. Children under 17 should

be accompanied by an adult).

NC-17 No children under age 17.

X X (Adults only).

NR Not rated.

Press the CH ▼ button to

select “MPAA rating”,

then press the VOL+ but-

ton.

SPECIAL FEATURES

While a particular category is highlighted, press the VOL+ button to activate it.

A letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed. Press the CH ▲ or CH ▼ buttons to select “U”

or ”B”.

Press the MENU button three times to save the settings and to clear all screens.

Note: The V-Chip will automatically block any category that is “more restrictive.”

matically be blocked also.
