TV SETUP P.Lock (Parental Lock/V-Chip) Setup The P.LOCK options control the built-in V-Chip feature of the television. TV broadcasts include a signal that classifies the contents of the program. When this feature is activated, the TV will detect this signal and block any programs that are rated higher than what you have set. There are two different rating systems: MPAA (movies) and TV (television broadcasts). MPAA Ratings: • X: For adults only • NC17: Not intended for ages under 17 • R: Restricted • PG-13: Not intended for ages under 13 • PG: Parental Guidance Suggsted • G: General Audience TV Ratings: • MA: Mature Audiences only • 14: Not intended for ages under 14 • PG: Parental guidance suggested • G: General audience • Y7: For children age 7 and above. • Y: All children The TV ratings are further classifed by sub-categories. As the TV Rating increases, so does the intensity of the sub-category. TV Subcategories: • D: Suggestive dialogue • L: Indecent language • S: Sexual situations • V: Violence To change these settings, you must first use the numeric keypad to enter the P.LOCK code. • The default 4-digit code is: 5963.
