The V-Chip Lock 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 lock
in the Off setting. You can turn the lock
On within the V-Chip Menu. The factory
preset is TV-PG, allowing only programs
rated TV-PG or lower. You can change
the blocking level to various TV or movie rat-
ings, lettered categories, and by time. After
changing channels or inputs, there may be
up to a 5 second delay before the V-Chip
lock takes effect. The V-CHIP button on the
remote control enables you to conveniently
turn the lock on or off.
