NS-FTV27 27-inch Flat Stereo Color TV
Setting the V-Chip
An age limitation can be set to restrict children
from viewing or hearing violent scenes or
pictures that you may choose to exclude. The
restriction applies to TV rating and movie rating
if this data is transmitted. You may set this
restriction separately. To use the V-Chip
function, you must set a password.
Notes
• The V-Chip function is activated only
on programs and input sources that
have the rating signal.
• It may take several minutes to
complete the initial V-Chip setup.
• The V-CHIP SET (DTV) will only be
selectable when the TV receives a
digital broadcast using the new rating
system. Currently, some stations are
still not providing this signal. If the
signal is not provided, V-CHIP SET
(DTV) function will not be available.
• If you forget the password, contact
Customer Service at 1-877-467-4289
for assistance. Your original remote
control is required.
• To avoid forgetting the password, write
it down and keep it in a safe place.
