TV picture keeps switching between screen formats abruptly

The Remote Control Doesn’t Work
• Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.
• Maybe the remote isn’t aimed directly at the component (TV/DVD, VCR, cable box, satellite receiver, or HDTV tuner) that you’re
trying to operate.
• Maybe remote is not in TV mode or DVD mode. Press the TV or DVD button so remote will control TV or DVD.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the
batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls
The rating limits don’t work
• You must lock the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Control, select Lock Parental Controls.
I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
• If you forget your password, press MENU, then select Parental Control (the password entry screen appears). Simultaneously press
and hold CH+ and VOL+ on the TV/DVD’s front panel for 8 seconds. The Parental control menu appears on the screen, and you can
re-enter a password via Lock Parental Controls.
The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.
• Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately in order to
view movies with an NR rating
