Setting the V-Chip
To use the TV after the TV is protected.
When the program applied to the V-Chip
setting is received, enter the password,
then press ENTER. When the password is
entered correctly the protection will be
temporarily overridden.
NOTES:
• The V-Chip function is activated only on
programs and tapes that have the rating
signal.
• If you are changing channels using
a VCR or a cable box, while the TV
remains on channel 3 or 4, the V-Chip
operates differently. When you enter
your password to temporarily release
the block on any channel, you have
completely disabled the V-Chip function
for all stations. To reset the V-Chip turn
your TV off and back on.
• Some cable boxes are built with a delay
feature, in some cases it can take up to
10 seconds for a program to appear
after the password has been input.
