V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children
from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except
for news and sports programs, unedited movies on
premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast
System signals), then denies access to programming
if the program’s rating meets the limitations you
select. In this case, “PROTECTED PROGRAM by
...” message appears on the TV screen. You can
watch the protected program by entering access code
(default 0000).
To block certain ratings, follow the steps below.
•
Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA) or according to
the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to
block any inappropriate programming, set your
limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV
RATING).

CLOSED CAPTION SYSTEM
You can view specially labeled (cc) TV programs,
movies, news, pre-recorded tapes with either a dia-
logue caption or text display.
CAPTION mode: By choosing the caption mode, you
can watch dramas, movies and news while captioning
the dialogues and the contents of news.
TEXT mode: By choosing the text mode, you can
watch half screen text information if you want.
1-2: You may get these captions or text information
by selecting either “1” or “2”. Caption “2” is usually
used for a second language if available.
NOTE:
Not all programs are broadcast with closed captions.
Your television is designed to provide error free
closed captions from high quality antenna, cable and
VCR signals. Conversely, poor quality signals are
likely to result in caption errors or no captions at all.
Common signal conditions which may cause captions
errors are listed below:
•
Automobile ignition noise
•
Electric motor brush noise
•
Weak snowy reception on TV screen
•
Multiplex signal reception displaying picture
ghosts or airplane flutter.
•
Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes.
NOTE:
If the TV/VCR displays a black box on the TV
screen, this means that the TV/VCR
is set to the TEXT mode. To clear
screen, select [CAPTION1], [CAP-
TION2] or [OFF].
