You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The    
V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings

You can use US V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from the United States), Canadian 
V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from Canada), and movie ratings. You may use any 
or all of the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings). Descriptions for setting each 
of the three V-Chip formats appear in the next six pages along with descriptions of the rating 
categories.

To access the rating categories:

 

Press the M

To operate (Lock icon      will appear)

 

 Press Z

ERO 

to access the V-Chip menu

√® 

 

To turn V-Chip ON or OFF (V-Chip must be 
turned ON for rating settings to operate)

SET MOVIE RATINGS, or SET CANADIAN RATINGS (see following pages for 
descriptions of each item)

 V-Chip

Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables you to block channels or content 
that you feel to be inappropriate for children, based on US and Canada rating guidelines.        
V-Chip has no effect on video signals from a DVD discs, VCR tapes or Camcorder connection.

Note:

  Some programs, and movies are broadcast without a ratings signal. Even if you set 

up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 27 for information on 
how to block unrated programs.

Note (for Canadian viewers):  

The V-Chip function is based on specifications designed for 

the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.

When a viewer attempts to watch a guarded channel, the following message appears:

To watch a channel that you have locked, enter the 
Lock Code using the 10 key pad. 
If the wrong code is entered, the message 
“INVALID LOCK CODE!” will flash on the screen.

The channel cannot be accessed until the correct code 
is entered.

Notes:

•   Once a channel has been unlocked, it will remain unlocked until the television is turned off.

 

•   See also “Set Lock Code”, page 32.
