V-CHIP might not function according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV/DVD. This tool gives parents a great degree of control
over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing
while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your
TViDVD.
V-CHIP SET menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password.
(See page 19 for password setting for parental control.)
