V-Chip Set Up - Zenith TVSC1320 Operating Manual & Warranty

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children
from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming
(except for news and sports programs, unedited
movies on premium cable channels, and
Emergency Broadcast System signals), then
denies access to programming if the program's
rating meets the limitations you select. In this
case, "PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message
appears on the TV screen.
To block 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 inappropriate
programming, set your limits in both places
(MPAA RATING and TV RATING).
Make sure:
• TV/VCR power must be turned on.
Press the MENU button on
the remote control.
Press the PLAY or STOP
button to point to "V-CHIP
SET UP".
Then, press the EFWD
button.
Press the PLAY or STOP
button to point to "TV
RATING".
Then, press the EFWD
button.
