V-Chip
(Figure 3)
V-Chip allows you to Block or Allow programs
based upon rating signals sent by the broadcasting
station. The TV comes from the factory with the V-
CHIP in the Off setting. You can turn the V-Chip on
within the V-Chip Menu or you can use the V-CHIP
button on the remote control to conveniently turn
the V-CHIP on or off. The factory preset is TV-PG
for TV ratings or PG for movie ratings, allowing
only programs rated TV-PG/PG or lower. You can
change the blocking level to various TV ratings and
lettered categories or movie ratings. After changing
channels or devices, there may be up to a 5 second
delay before the V-Chip lock takes effect.
