V-Chip Unrated Program Block; Lock/Unlock Parental Controls - RCA Color Television User Manual

THE MENU SYSTEM

V-Chip Unrated Program Block

Selecting this option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes
as "unrated" can be viewed.
View All unrated programs are available.
Block No unrated programs are available.
"Unrated" TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local,
and weather programs, and public announcements. Also, the first few
seconds of a channel with rated programming may be blocked (due to a
brief delay in transmission of the rating information).

Lock/Unlock Parental Controls

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental controls settings using
a password.
You must lock Parental Controls for TV rating and content, movie
rating, and unrated program blocks to take effect.
If you forget your password, the password can be reset to 0000 by
simultaneously pressing and holding the volume down and the channel up
buttons on the front panel for five seconds. Using this password, you can
then access the V-chip menus.
"Unrated" vs. "Not Rated"
All movies are assigned a rating.
Some movies are given a rating of
Not Rated (NR). You can assign Block
or View status to the NR rating in
the V-Chip Movie Rating Limit
screen.
Not all television programs are
assigned a rating (age-based rating).
To assign View or Block status to
"unrated" television programs, you
must use the Unrated Programs
option from the V-Chip Parental
Controls menu.
Remember
When you want to watch a blocked
program, press the DISPLAY button on
the remote to enter your password.
