USA V-Chip TV Ratings

The USA V-Chip TV Rating lets you decide which TV programs can and

cannot be viewed. To set TV programming limits:

1. Choose Channel Setup from the Main menu. If Channel Setup has

previously been locked, you must enter your password.

2. Then select Parental Controls.

3. Highlight and select USA V-Chip.

4. Highlight and select V-Chip TV Rating.

5. Once you get to the V-Chip TV Rating screen, use the arrow buttons

and OK on your remote to change the status of a TV program rating

or content theme from Viewable to Blocked.

Proceed to the next sections for more details about how to change the

status of TV program limits.

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a speciﬁed age-

based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch

programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want

the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out

higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you don’t want the child to

watch (see chart of age-based ratings on previous page).

2. Highlight the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. In

the example discussed above, you would highlight TV-PG, since the

highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.

3. Press the OK button to toggle between Viewable and Blocked.

The status for the rating listed to the right and all higher ratings

automatically change to Blocked (and B).

4. Select Lock TV from the Parental Controls menu. Enter a password

and re-enter password a second time to conﬁrm the password.

To view age-based ratings after you’ve blocked them, follow the same

steps as above to make the rating Viewable (V).

Notes: The content status ﬁelds corresponding to the unblocked

rating become Viewable as well. They and the age-based rating

status are the only ﬁelds that automatically change back to

Viewable when you complete this process.

You must remember to lock the TV as described above for rating

limits to take effect.
