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 Channel Setup then Parental Controls (press 3 on your
remote), and 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, put the remote in TV mode. 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.
What Else Can I Do?
If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fi xed your problem, try rebooting your TV. Note that after a reboot you
may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To do a reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, power strip, etc.
Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then plug the TV back in, turn on the TV, and see if the problem is fi xed. If the problem
remains, then please visit www.rca.com/television for updated FAQs or contact RCA Customer Support at the support number provided in
your Warranty under How To Get Service.
