Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and the following
message will appear: “Excessive rating”.

use the V-Chip function for an “emergency escape”:
Press the MENU button to display the menu. Press the CH button three times to select the “Function”
menu and press the VOL + button.
Press the CH button three times to highlight the “V-chip” menu and press the VOL + button.
Enter your PIN number, and press the VOL + button to temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.
