Step 6. How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings. First, highlight one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on previous page). Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly press the ENTER button. This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).

Press MENU once to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected, and no letters “U” or “B” will be changed to yellow. To exit this screen, press the MENU button again. To select a different TV-Rating, press the UP/DOWN buttons and then repeat the process. Note: The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “More restrictive”.

Step 3. Press the UP/DOWN buttons to select “MPAA Rating”, then press the ENTER button.
Step 4. Repeatedly press the UP/DOWN A buttons to select a particular MPAA category. (When a category is selected, its color changes to yellow.) Pressing the UP/DOWN A buttons will cycle through the MPAA categories: G (General audience (no restrictions)), PG (Parental guidance suggested.), PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned.), R (Restricted. Children under 17 should be accompanied by an adult.), NC-17 (No children under age 17.), X (Adults only.), NR (Not rated.). Press the UP/DOWN buttons to select a category. Press the ENTER buttons to select “U” or “B”. Press the EXIT button to save the settings and to clear all screens.
Note: The V-Chip will automatically block any category that is “more restrictive”. For example, if you block the “PG-13” category, then “R,” “NC-17,” and “X”will automatically be blocked also.
How do I Reset the TV after the V-Chip Blocks a Channel (‘Emergency Escape’) on the SAMSUNG LT-P 2045 TFT-LCD TELEVISION?
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank and the following message will appear: “Excessive rating”.
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons. Under certain conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might lock out all the channels.
In this case, use the Menu button for an “emergency escape”: Select the V-Chip on the Menu. Enter your PIN number, and press the ENTER button to temporarily disable the V-Chip Lock.
