V-Chip
Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables TV Parental Guidelines (for United
States and Canada) and Movie (MPAA) Guideline controls. V-Chip technology allows you to
program your TV to receive, or not to receive, programs based on content according to the
guidelines. Programs which exceed the ratings limits you set will be blocked. When a viewer
attempts to watch a blocked channel, this message appears:
THIS PROGRAMMING EXCEEDS
YOUR RATING LIMITS.
PLEASE ENTER LOCK CODE BY
i0 KEY PAD TO UNLOCK IT.
NO.----
The channel will remain blocked until the correct lock code is entered (see page 36 for informa-
tion on setting your lock code).
You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The
V-Chip menu
below is the starting
point for your V-Chip settings
