How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip
Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and the following mes-
sage will appear: “Excessive rating.”
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions (depend-
ing on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels. In this case, use the V.Chip
button for an “emergency escape”:
Press the V-chip button on the remote control. Enter your PIN number, and move the joystick to the right to tem-
porarily disable the V-Chip Lock.
