Downloadable RRT
The current V-Chip recognizes the current RRT, which is communicated as part of the Program
and System Information Protocol. It depends on broadcasts which could communicate a new
rating system via the PSIP that both the chip and a TV’s software can understand. With
downloadable RRT, blocking of program shall occur when a program rating is received that
meets the pre-determined user requirement. User could program the open V-Chip with
numbers of filters that go beyond the general descriptors.
Change PIN
The Change PIN sub-menu allows the user to change the PIN (password) used to access the
Vchip menu features.
After accessing the V-Chip sub-menu, use the navigation buttons to highlight the Change
PIN option, and press the ENTER button to select it. Enter in the current PIN using the DTV
remote control number buttons. The factory default PIN is “0000”. If a new PIN was previously
entered and has been forgotten, it can be reset to “0000” entering the current PIN, the Change
PIN window will then appear, as shown in Figure 36 below.

window will appear to confirm that the PIN has been successfully changed. Press the ENTER
button to complete the PIN change process.
