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 message will appear: “Excessive rating”.
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain
conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the
channels.
In this case, use the MENU
button for an “emergency escape”:
Select the V-Chip on the Menu. Enter your PIN number, and press the ENTER
button to
temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.
