The Remote Control Doesn't Work
•
Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.
•
Maybe the remote isn't aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) that you're trying to operate.
•
Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.
•
Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to activate
backlighting on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if
you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
•
You might need to drain the remote's microprocessor: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60
seconds. Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.
•
Replace the batteries when the remote indicator turns red and blinks rapidly with each button press.
Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls
The rating limits don't work
•
You must lock the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls (press 5 on
your remote), select Lock TV (press 1 on your remote).
I don't remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
•
If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the television and VOL down on the remote
for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via
Lock TV.
The V-Chip won't let me watch a program even though it's not rated as violent.
•
Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set V-Chip Unrated to
View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
