V-CHIP SET UP
V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their chil-
dren from watching inappropriate material on
TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming
(except for news and sports programs, unedit-
ed movies on premium cable channels, and
Emergency Broadcast System signals), then
denies access to programming if the program's
rating meets or exceeds the limitations you
select. In this case, "PROTECTED PRO-
GRAM by ..." message appears on the TV
screen.
To block certain ratings, follow the steps
below.
Programming may be rated by the Motion
●
Picture Association of America (MPAA) or
according to the Television Parental
Guidelines. In order to block any inappro-
priate programming, set your limits in both
places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
You cannot access the menu when the
●
"PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message
appears. In this case, change to an
unblocked channel, then press the MENU
button.

Possible Remedy
You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect-
ed. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words
because of the normal time available for editing the captions.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-
nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute.
If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that
the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given.
Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions
will be lost.
The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
copying process.
You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION
[OFF].
