Using the V-Chip (parental control) feature
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a rating system to qualify the content of television programs, as
well. The TV and MOVIE ratings work with the V-Chip feature and allow
you to block programs according to the rating limits you set.
To use the V-Chip to block programs by rating:
1. Press MENU, then press or to
display the LOCKS menu.
2. Press ▲ or ▼ to display the
password entering mode.
3. Use the Channel Number buttons
(0-9) to enter your password.
Press ENTER. The LOCKS menu
appears.
4. Press ▲ or ▼ to highlight V-CHIP.
• Press
or to highlight ON to
enable V-Chip program blocking
by rating.
• Press
or to highlight OFF to
disable V-Chip program blocking by
rating.
5. Press ▲ or ▼ to highlight TV RATING. Then, press
or to
