Appendix

V - Chip (US only)

1. Function of V-Chip

The V - Chip can block certain rated television shows off television (if chosen) so children cannot

watch programs that their parents do not approve. The chip in each television will decode program-rating information which is transmitted along with the televisio n signal. It will then compare the rating codes with values preset by the viewer, which is meant to be the parents. If the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will be blocked, and a blank screen will be displayed.

2. Setting V-Chip

EN-7500 has V-Chip feature and you can set it up via OSD.

1. Select V -Chip on OSD, then enter 4 digits of pin number(Initial pin number is “0000”). If you enter an incorrect pin number “Incorrect”message will be displayed for 3 seconds.

2. Use arrow keys to change or to activate the highlighted function.

3. Setting up TV Guidelines Use arrow buttons to move around the matrix and press Menu button to change the value from "U" to "B" or "B" to "U“.
