Blocking programs by ratings
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 MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the V-Chip feature
and allow you to block programs according to the rating limits you set.
Note:
If you forget your PIN code, press RECALL
four times within five seconds from the V-CHIP
menu. This allows you to proceed to the
BLOCKING menu and resets your PIN code.
