Parental Control Menu

The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip 

menus involve software inside your TV, referred to 

as V-Chip, which allows you to block TV programs 

and movies. TV programs can be blocked by age-

based ratings, such as TV-MA . If available, TV 

programs can also be blocked by content, such as 

adult language (L) . Movies can only be blocked 

by age-based ratings. Once you block programs, 

you can unblock them by entering a password. By 

default, the software inside your TV is turned off or 

unlocked. 
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-

MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence 

(V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If you have blocked 

the rating and/or content themes that the program 

contains, you receive a message that the channel 

is currently blocked. Change the channel or to 

enter your password and temporarily deactivate the 

parental controls.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content 

themes, so programs received with no content 

themes are blocked only if you block their age-

based rating. You can also block programs that have 

been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are 

considered unrated. 

Change V-Chip Password

The first time you enter the Parental Control menu, you 

must set a password in order to adjust other parental 

control settings. To enter a V-Chip Password, follow 

these steps:
1. Selelct 

Parental Control > Change Password

(Refer to Figure 6.) press 

OK

/► to enter the 

Change Password

 screen.

2. Use the number buttons to enter the four-digit 

number for your password.

3. Re-enter the same code to confirm the password. 

Note:

 The password must be entered before 

the TV will continue with Parental settings next 

time. The super password is 2458, If you forget 

your password, enter it to override any existing 

password.
