Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content.
Television broadcasters employ a similar rating system
to qualify the content of television programs. The
MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs
that exceed the rating limits you set.

MENU

.

2. Press 

x

 or 

 to highlight the SET UP menu.

3. Press 

y

 or 

z

 to highlight V-CHIP CONTROL.

4. Press 

x

 or 

 to display the PIN code entering screen.

5. Use the 

CHANNEL NUMBERS 

(0–9) to enter your four-digit

PIN code. After the code is entered, the V-Chip Control menu
appears.

6. Press 

y

 or 

z

 to highlight ENABLE BLOCKING.

7. Press 

x

 or 

 to highlight “Y,” which enables all blocking by

activating the V-Chip. (
