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 or VCR) that you’re trying to operate.
• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to activate
backlighting on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if
you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
•You might need to drain the remote’s microprocessor: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60
seconds. Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.
• Replace the batteries when the remote indicator turns red and blinks rapidly with each button press.
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 Controls (press 5 on
your remote), select Lock TV (press 1 on your remote).
I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
• If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the television and VOL down on the remote
for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via
Lock TV.
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 V-Chip Unrated to
View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
