How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip Blocks a Channel
(“Emergency Escape”)
Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”) If the TV is tuned
to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen
will go black 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 V-Chip function for an “emergency escape”:
Press the MENU button to display the menu. Press the
▲ or ▼ button to select the “Setup” menu and press the
ENTER button. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select the
“V-Chip” menu and press the ENTER button. Enter your
PIN number, and press the ► button to temporarily disable

Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the
screen width to height) are primarily designed to view standard
format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should
primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly
moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen,
such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide screen
pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total
television viewing per week.

Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of
the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view
wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed
on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio
format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this
feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics
and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-
expanded standard format television video and programming,
should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television
viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as
stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web
sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as
described above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary
images that exceed the above guidelines can cause
uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle,
but permanent burned-in ghost images in the television
picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images,
and primarily display full screen moving images, not
stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that
offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view the
different formats as a full screen picture.
